Ok, thanks. I removed --inplace and --append-verify and kept --link-dest and --partial. And now the script works exactly as I want: hard-links are not updated, the script is still robust and can copy large files over unstable links etc, etc. == Askar Safin http://vk.com/safinaskar Kazan, Russia

...o (for example) 2014-12-01-000000. So, if rsync interrupts, then at the next run the script will end "in-progress" (all partial files will be done) and then will rename this dir to 2014-12-01-000000. So, there never will be partial files in finished snapshots. == Askar Safin http://vk.com/safinaskar Kazan, Russia

...ite new file directly into old one (without unlinking). If there already is old file and it needs updating, then rsync will write into something like .file-He4gw, and then it will rename this file to its right name. This new file will not have any hardlinks to old files == Askar Safin http://vk.com/safinaskar Kazan, Russia

This is OK for me. I care about file contents, not metadata. == Askar Safin http://vk.com/safinaskar Kazan, Russia

...ies on the target. Okey, so, I should remove --inplace and --append-verify? But then copying large file over unstable inet will not work, right? Is there any way to keep --link-dest working right and simultaneously have possibility to copy large file over unstable inet? == Askar Safin http://vk.com/safinaskar Kazan, Russia

...hat the target dir starts out completely populated. You mean making "cp -al" on the remote and then start rsync to newly created dir with --partial and without --link-dest, --inplace, --append-verify? What is benefits? Even metadata will not leak to old files? == Askar Safin http://vk.com/safinaskar Kazan, Russia

...hat to do? I. e. how to fix the script? Or maybe this is a bug in rsync? I. e. "--link-dest --inplace doesn't unlink"? Some quick fix will be good. Maybe I should remove --inplace and leave --partial? But will the script still be such robust in this case? == Askar Safin http://vk.com/safinaskar Kazan, Russia

...ck with --link-dest, thanks a lot. >So, maybe I >have extra copies of some php, html, and jpg files but I know how they >were at the time they were backed up. You can still do "cp -al" and backup "ls -lR" or "find -ls" output. :) == Askar Safin http://vk.com/safinaskar Kazan, Russia
