Thanks for the reply. The link-dest is different. It is Feb 1 while the source is Feb 2. I tried setting path = /media/external/ for the daemon and using rsync -a -v -i --delete --link-dest=backup-2016-02-01-0100 --password-file=/media/external/scripts/offsite_rsync.pass /media/external/backup/backup-2016-02-02-0100 backup at 192.168.2.102: :offsite/backup So all three (link-dest, source, target) are directories but get the same result. The directory backup-2016-02-02-0100 is created on the target server and all files start to be transferred to it. Must be an...

...that latest daily backup from server 1 to server 2 and use the --link-dest option on server 2 to link it to the previous day. *The Problem* This is the command I'm troubleshooting right now rsync -a -v -n -i --delete --link-dest=/backup-2016-02-01-0100 --password-file=/media/external/scripts/offsite_rsync.pass /media/external/backup/backup-2016-02-02-0100 backup at 192.168.2.102::offsite It seems to be sending all files as new files (i.e. not picking up the link-dest option). I've tried using no slash at the beginning of link-dest, tried using ./ tried full path. etc. Here is a snippet of the...

I'm not sure what you mean by "link-dest and your target parameters misaligned". Both servers have
