I am synchronizing some files on 2 hosts.
host2 is a backup server of host1, but can have some more up to date files.
I use on host2:
Code:
rsync -auv usrer@host1:/Source_Dir Dest_Dir
Option -u (update) will copy and replace the newest files from host2 to host1.
Before this is done I would like to make copies of older files on host1.
In other words: I would like to archive and keep older versions files from host1. This has to be done just before they are about to be replaced by the rsync -u command with newest files from host2.
A bit like git would keep track of old versions of files.
Is there an option with rsync to do that?
Many thanks for your inputs!
Cheers,

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. (1 Reply)
To find all the files in your home directory that have been edited in some way since the last tar file, use this command:
find . -newer backup.tar.gz
Is anyone familiar with an older solution?

Tell me this - set me straight!
The --delete option says "delete files that don't exist on the sending side"
Does this mean and only mean that it will delete files from the DESTINATION that DON'T EXIST on the sending side? :confused: (1 Reply)
