Hi,
I use rsync with such options:
OPTIONS="-a -u -z -v -S --delete-during --ignore-errors \
-b --backup-dir=${PATH_BACKUP}/${DATE_YESTERDAY} \
--exclude-from=$IGNORE"
rsync $OPTIONS ${PATH_SRC} \
${PATH_BACKUP}/current
Everything works as it should be, deleted files are transfered everyday
to a new catalog, determinated by a variable ${DATE_YESTERDAY}.
But if an empty dir is deleted from ${PATH_SRC}, then it is
accordingly deleted from ${PATH_BACKUP}/current, and don`t appear in
${PATH_BACKUP}/${DATE_YESTERDAY}.
Do you know what to do it to make empty dirs be transferred
to ${PATH_BACKUP}/${DATE_YESTERDAY}?

Dirs are not currently considered to be content that needs to be backed up, so they are only created in the backup area in order to store backup content. This may change in the future, or it may not -- I haven't decided yet. ..wayne..
