Hi, I use the "rsync -va --delete -b --backup-dir BACKUPDIR SRC DEST" command for incremental backups of my system. I've realized that if I delete a file in SRC and make a directory with the same name, rsync will not copy the file into the backup-dir BACKUPDIR. It just creates the directory in DEST, but the file is lost . Is this a bug, a feature or my mistake?
