OK , but then the solution with symlinks is equivalent, just with the right options for rsync. Make the link. Sync + exclude. Remove the link. Don't have to live with the folder on the source. *_______________Gionata Boccalini* 2015-06-08 22:49 GMT+02:00 Michael Johnson - MJ <mj at revmj.com>: > Oh, actually, I just thought of a couple other another options that don't > require any multiplexing or ssh keys, but it would require that your source > machine is linux. > > The first option would be: > > mkdir /A/FolderB > mount --bind /A/FolderA /A/Folder...

I noticed today, that rsync does not appear to set the permissions on a directory until all of the contents are in place. this only really becomes noticeable and/or problematic when rsync'ing a large directory tree as root to a new, empty, location. For example, if you have the following tree: /foo /bar /file1 /file2 /baz /file3 /file4 When rsyncing this tree to another

...ay I can login with ssh as many time I wantm with RSA key pair. Even multiplexing is not necessary, but thanks anyway for the info. I hope now the problem is more clear. Is not even a real problem.. :) *_______________Gionata Boccalini* 2015-06-08 22:18 GMT+02:00 Michael Johnson - MJ <mj at revmj.com>: > Thought I would chime in here.

As part of my backup system, I use Rsync to keep a copy of each server on one central backup server. This backup server then uses StoreBackup to keep multiple iterations of each clone directory. So that the StoreBackup archives don't keep adding "redundant" and misleading backups, I update a flag file with the current date/time before doing the Rsync update, and test to see if this

rsync -av /src/ /dst/ && touch /dst/done That should do it as the touch only happens if rsync exits with a code of 0. If you need to consider other non zero exit code, it is still doable, just a bit more shell code. There are surely other options as well, but this is probably the most simple.
