...That way a directory can be restored from backup, excluding the old deleted files. It could work something like this:     when rsync server notices an unmarked extraneous file, it timestamps and marks the file as extraneous.    rsync server periodically deletes extraneous files like this        if (extraneous_mark == true and timestamp > current_date - age), then delete the file    where age is number of days extraneous files are retained.        rsync client can restore deleted files from server.    rsync client can restore directory from server, excluding extraneous files.  Thank you,Wolfram Volpi -----...
