Hi,
I use rsync 3.0.2 for daily incremental backups:
rsync -aAzHRxby -f '. -' --numeric-ids --delete-during --delete-excluded
\
--suffix='' --backup-dir=$BACKUP_ROOT/$BACKUP_HOST/${TODAY} \
${DESTINATION}$BACKUP_ROOT/$BACKUP_HOST/current <<<
$EXCLUDE_PATTERNS
Sometimes I add a new item to $EXCLUDE_PATTERNS but then the excluded
files are backed up in $BACKUP_ROOT/$BACKUP_HOST/$TODAY. Is there a way
to avoid that?
Thanks,
PS: the --suffix option is useless when using --backup-dir, right?
