search for: etc_hard_link

...nk /$1/ /home/backup/prix/${1}_$dt/ for example the etc dir - which creates the following in the backup dir: etc etc_0_hard_link etc_20230416_165232 - having previously created a hard-linked clone of the previously existing backup eg: cp -al /home/backup/prix/etc /home/backup/prix/etc_hard_link However, in the backed up dirs with the date-time extension, ALL the files from etc are copied - how do I rsync ONLY the deleted / changed / new files?
