rsync - Feb 2005 - Any option in rsync to get the list of new files

Hi,

    Is there any option in rsync to get the list of new files when we
use rsync to perform the backup from the source to destination?

We've used the option "-b" and "--backup-dir" options to
get the list of
deleted/modified files in a separate directory.

Your reply will be very helpful,

Thanks and Best Regards
Sanal

One choice is to run two rsync commands, the first with --existing,
which would give you a list of files that were being updated, and then
the second with --ignore-existing, which would give you a list of files
that were being created.  If you use the --log-format option instead of
-v, the output is even easier for a script to parse.  For instance:

rsync -a --existing --log-format='%t %o %f' src/ dest/ | tee out.txt

That would output lines like this:

2005/02/14 18:05:52 send foobar.txt
2005/02/14 18:05:52 send barbaz.c
