Hi! Does --fuzzy also look for files in dirs mentioned with --...-dest? My special intrest lies in --link-dest, though. Thanks, Robert
No, --fuzzy only looks in the same directory as the destination file. There was a rather heated debate about whether it should look in --*-dest directories on bug 3392: https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3392 Matt
