I would like to be able to run a backup that compares to a directory but puts changes into a new directory ie Monday/tues etc.. I have tried -backup -backup-dir .. but I can't seem to get it to work right. Sometimes it works but the incr. Directory it creates is empty, even when there are changes. Here is my goal: Localserver: Remote server: Backupdir Currentfiles Day of the week Where the local server would compare files from the currentfiles and sync changes to the day of the week. Then either sync day of the week to the current directory for the next night, this is to happen all over ssh. I know someone must have asked this question before, I tried looking through the mailing list but found a lot of scripts that would do this to a share/local .. but not over ssh.. Would something like this work ? rsync -backup -backup-dir=/backupstorage/Monday -e ssh -avz /files/to/backup remoteserver:/backupstorage/current Thanks for any help.. /rod -------------- next part -------------- HTML attachment scrubbed and removed
