Does the --backup, --backup-dir set require that either then source or target be a remote connection? Test folder hierarchy: /Users/localskaiser/source/myfile.txt /Users/localskaiser/source/a/b/c/newfile.txt /Users/localskaiser/target /Users/localskaiser/archive I can not get the following command to work (after running it once, and then modifying newfile.txt): [skaiser-pbg4:~] localska% /usr/local/bin/rsync --delete --backup --backup-di...

I'm getting a "bad address" error which is causing my rsync process to bomb out.

I'm setting up daemons on each of my remote servers, and have a host with a RAID connected to it be the client to pull the data over the network. I'm wondering if there is a difference in memory usage, speed, etc. by specifying the excluded files on one side or

I am having a problem with implementing a slight modification of the "backup to a central backup server with 7 day incremental" example from <http://rsync.samba.org/examples.html>. When rsync runs, I end up getting stat errors that the file doesn't exist in the backup-dir location. The backup server is running rsyncd, and without the --backup and --backup-dir options set, I
