            Bug ID: 11812
           Summary: rsync without --verbose still writes "(new) backup_dir
                    is ..." to STDOUT
           Product: rsync
           Version: 3.1.2
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P5
         Component: core
          Assignee: wayned at samba.org
          Reporter: mi.lists.bugzilla at alma.ch
        QA Contact: rsync-qa at samba.org

rsync always writes "(new) backup_dir is ..." to STDOUT. Is this
really
necessary?

    rsync -a --delete --backup --backup-dir="_before-$(date +%F)"
$source $dest
    (new) backup_dir is _before-2016-03-27

This seems to have appeared in 3.1.1, which created the directory even if it
was not needed (see bug #11423).

Version 3.1.2 doesn't create useless backup-dirs any more, but if it does it
reports it to STDOUT which is also quite useless. We have --verbose when we
want to check what is going on. If everything works alright, I feel that rsync
without -v should remain silent, as is customary in Unix tools.

--- Comment #1 from Wayne Davison <wayned at samba.org> ---
Yeah, that print needs this check: if (INFO_GTE(BACKUP, 1))

Fix committed to git (0f7db203fb4125e9ec8851bb0ff8878258fc4a05).
