Hello I?m doing incremental backups with rsync to a remote server using --backup --backup-dir. I would like now to prevent the posibility that an intruder in the backed-up machine could try to remove the original data and the remote copy through the rsync service. Seems to me that this could be done with a new server option (--forced-options???) to force the --backup thing to be done, so

...he receiver-side, and I don't think there's any other mention of the dry run in the receiver-side log. In my pre-xfer script, I see this: RSYNC_ARG1=--server RSYNC_ARG2=-nltrRze.iLsfx RSYNC_ARG3=--log-format=X RSYNC_ARG4=--bwlimit=256 RSYNC_ARG5=--delete-during RSYNC_ARG6=--delete-excluded RSYNC_ARG7=--force RSYNC_ARG8=--partial-dir RSYNC_ARG9=/in-progress/partial RSYNC_ARG10=--link-dest RSYNC_ARG11=/latest/data RSYNC_ARG12=--info=STATS2 RSYNC_ARG13=--debug=EXIT RSYNC_ARG14=. RSYNC_ARG15=/in-progress/data/ I'm on Mac OS 10.9, using rsync 3.1.1. Thanks, Dave.
