How is rsync supposed to behave when I give the --delete-excluded? Recently I
lost several of my important documents because of a corrupted file system on
the source. Here are some logs,
* Rsync gets an IO error on one of the folders,
--
rsync: readlink_stat("/mnt/raid-backup/Documents/Finance") failed:
Input/output error (5)
--
* It starts deleting all my financial documents,
--
deleting Documents/Finance/Tax/2005/2005_Kansas_Return.pdf
deleting Documents/Finance/Tax/2005/2005_Federal_Return.pdf
--
Am I doing something wrong in giving the --delete option?

Note that the deletion happened on my backup disk (the corrupted filesystem on the source is another disk) Sanjay Acharya wrote:> > How is rsync supposed to behave when I give the --delete-excluded? > Recently I lost several of my important documents because of a corrupted > file system on the source.
