Does rsync has option to backup only new updates files on different dir
Hi

I would like to ask if rsync has an option of backing up the new or updated files on different destination dir( only the new or updated files will be copied to the a different dir) just like option --backup-dir but this is for backup files.


Thanks for any response.
