rsync with delete option creates and deletes dot files
All,
I have an rsync based backup process which uses rsyncd on the source,
to backup to a directory on the client.
I have rsync version 3.1.2 on the client and 2.6.8 on the source host
(daemon).
The rysnc command I use is;
/usr/bin/rsync -aHzS --partial --numeric-ids --delete --timeout=3600 \
--contimeout=180 \
--exclude-from=/path/to/excludelist \
--log-file=/path/to/logfile \
<sourcehostname>::host_backup /path/to/dest_dir
The rsync log on the client shows the following;

2017/05/01 04:20:03 [90534] *deleting bin/.zcat.19441
2017/05/01 04:20:03 [90534] *deleting bin/.gzip.19441
...

Is this normal, or is there some configuration I am missing ?
Thanks
--delete means delete from the target what isn't on the source (except what is excluded). Those look like temp files. Possibly from another rsync that is running at the same time.
