Rysnc Schedule
What I want to do is use rsync to back up a folder to an external drive. I would like to keep 30 days worth. For example: I have backups of June 1 - June 30. Once July 1 comes along, I want to keep June 2 - July 1 and delete June 1, and so forth. Any ideas how I can accomplish this? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Rysnc-Schedule-tf4104577.html#a11672997 Sent from the Samba - rsync mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

I understand how to do the rsync part, but how would I delete the files?

Re: Rysnc Schedule
I guess I should have been clearer. I know how to delete files/directories. I am just not sure how to delete say the 31st and so forth.

Re: Rysnc Schedule
Sorry, I didn't mean to come off rude. I appreciate the help. I will look into it and see how it works. Thanks for all the suggestions.

Rysnc Original Date
Is it possible to keep the original date of the file with rsync rather than once it is copied, giving it today's date? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Rysnc-Original-Date-tf4193496.html#a11925612 Sent from the Samba - rsync mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
