Hi all! I want to sync/copy a tree from a remote system to my local computer. Let 's say they are completly synced. When I do rsync remote.computer:/storage /new-storage --compare-dest=/ -a -v As expected rsync does not copy the files but copies/recreate the symlinks in the new folder. Is there a way to suppress this (the creation of the links) when they are the same? Tobias -------------- next part -------------- HTML attachment scrubbed and removed
