Hello, I am trying to use the "--files-from=FILE" option with rsync version "version 2.6.3 protocol version 28" When I try to use the following syntax, it returns a syntax or usage error: rsync -azrv --files-from=/home/dira/filelist.txt remoteuser@remotehost:/remotedir I am also trying to use ssh with this which obviously yields an error also since the first part does not work rsync -azrv --files-from=/home/dira/filelist.txt -e "ssh -i /home/user1/cron/file-with-rsync-key&quot...

...owever I am not sure of the --delete portion, it seems that I should remove the delete as I would like to at any point be able to go back in time and look at a snapshot of the server. Is this a correct assessment? And if so, would the more appropriate rsync command go as follows? sudo rsync -azRv -e ssh --exclude-from=/Users/someuser/scripts/Server_Scripts/etc/rsync_exclude --link-dest=../Server_Backup.1 administrative_user@someserver.com:/ Server_Backup.current Thanks much for any help! -George
