This seems to be a common topic. I really _have_ looked at the archives before
posting, though, and can't find anything that covers this.
I'm backing up an entire server over the net, except for a few excluded
files:
echo `date` >/var/log/rsync.tolstoy
/usr/bin/rsync -avHz --stats --delete --numeric-ids --exclude=/sys
--exclude=/home/backup --exclude=/monthly /
backup@tolstoy:/backup/chekov >>/var/log/rsync.tolstoy 2>&1
The backup works great. However, I've got a bunch of obsolete directories
in
/home which I erased. On the target side, they're still sitting in the
directory.
Source:
[root@chekov2 log]# ls -ls /home
total 64
drwx------ 10 backup backup 4096 Nov 27 21:05 backup
drwx------ 2 root root 16384 Mar 21 2005 lost+found
drwx------ 4 tim tim 4096 Mar 27 21:09 tim
drwx------ 5 vpn vpn 4096 May 28 2005 vpn
Target:
[root@tolstoy chekov]# ls -ls /backup/chekov/home
total 28
4 drwx------ 4 backup backup 4096 Feb 18 14:58 clamav
4 drwx------ 6 backup backup 4096 Feb 18 14:58 defang
4 drwx------ 2 backup backup 4096 Mar 21 2005 lost+found
4 drwx------ 4 backup backup 4096 Feb 18 14:58 lr
4 drwx------ 17 backup backup 4096 Mar 27 21:09 tim
4 drwx------ 5 backup backup 4096 May 28 2005 vpn
I've tried racheting up the verbosity and looking for errors, but
there's
nothing telling me that it can't delete the files - it just _isn't_.
What purely obvious thing am I missing here? Thanks much...
