Re[2]: --link-dest --inplace updates files without unlinking. What to do?
Ok, thanks. I removed --inplace and --append-verify and kept --link-dest and --partial. And now the script works exactly as I want: hard-links are not updated, the script is still robust and can copy large files over unstable links etc, etc. =Askar Safin http://vk.com/safinaskar Kazan, Russia

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Are you specifying --partial-dir? Seems like that would be needed or else you will end up would end up with an incomplete copy in the previous target?

I don't specify --partial-dir. As you can see from the script, rsync at first copies to "in-progress", and then renames this to (for example) 2014-12-01-000000. So, if rsync interrupts, then at the next run the script will end "in-progress" (all partial files will be done) and then will rename this dir to 2014-12-01-000000. So, there never will be partial files in finished snapshots. =Askar Safin http://vk.com/safinaskar Kazan, Russia
