All, I have a directory that I backup every night via rsync to a remote server a couple thousand miles away. (For about 2 years now.) Its a dynamic directory with files created and deleted. I just noticed that the main directory is 247GB, but the remote copy is 354GB. I assume rsync can cause the extra files on the remote to be deleted? I'm currently using: rsync -avh --delete-after --stats --links --partial-dir=<transfer_dir> --timeout=1800 <BACKUP_DIR> <remote_user>@<remote_server>/<remote_dir> Any idea what I need to change? FYI: My local dir is actually the destination of a rdiff-backup run, so it has tons of old revisions in it.
