[Bug 2423] New: Feature Request: Ability to transfer files newer than date or file. (--newer switch).
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2423 Summary: Feature Request: Ability to transfer files newer than date or file. (--newer switch). Product: rsync Version: 2.6.3 Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P3 Component: core AssignedTo: wayned@samba.org ReportedBy: hackeron@gmail.com QAContact: rsync-qa@samba.org --newer [file|date] transfer only files newer than file or date (e.g. rsync --newer "15/03/05 21:22:00" -a dir1 dir2) That would really make my day when transferring daily cumulative sql changelogs and not having to keep older ones. E.G: changelog-200502-09.sql 100Mb changelog-200503-01.sql 100Mb changelog-200503-02.sql 100Mb changelog-200503-03.sql 56Mb (and growing) The first 3 files were transferred, applied to the backup database and deleted. The third file is then partially transferred until it reaches 100Mb. There's no way however to just rsync files newer than changelog-03.sql (when they are added), I also dont have the disk space to keep the tens of files. The only solution I can find is to use --exclude, but pretty soon the list will grow to hundreds of files and will be hard to maintain. I would really appreciate a --newer switch. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.samba.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact.
