Hi!
Do you know any trick (scripts, combining rsync with other tools, etc.) to
let rsync only delete the files with modification time before (older than)
a certain date-time (can use the time of a file as a reference time)?
It probably more difficult when we rsync out (for rsync in, the we can
actually find out right away which files in that criteria using small
Find::File perl script).
The idea is for a pair of sites that rsync each other (and use the
--delete option). The old file only delete mechanism will reduce the
possibily of a new file just added accidentally removed by the next rsync
with --delete.
Maybe something to add to rsync itself? :-)
I use rsync-2.4.4 in RH linux 7.0
Thanks!

Max.
