Hello,
I use --link-dest which works perfectly :
rsync -a -R --link-dest="../2016-12-28/"
--link-dest="../2016-12-27/" /my/backup/folder
::daemon/mycomputer/2016-12-29/
Now I would like to use --fuzzy --fuzzy, so that rsync algorithm can also work
with similarly named files found in other link-dest directories.
So I simply added --fuzzy --fuzzy to my previous command line.
But it does not work.
--fuzzy --fuzzy eligible files are not detected (--debug=FUZZY2 gives nothing at
all).
Files are still correctly linked, but for every file, rsync daemon logs the
following :
file has vanished:
"/mycomputer/2016-12-29/2016-12-28/my/backup/folder/file"
file has vanished:
"/mycomputer/2016-12-29/2016-12-27/my/backup/folder/file"
I don't have these errors with only one --fuzzy.
So sounds like these are related to --fuzzy --fuzzy, which tries to reach files
in link-dest directories, but does not succeed because of a wrongly calculated
path.
I'm already surprised that it tries to reach these directories for every
file to backup, even if the file has to be simply hard-linked (same
name/date/perms etc...).
Sender and receiver are both rsync 3.1.2.
Thank you very much for your help !
Best regards,
Ben
