I use rsync in a cron script to maintain a remote copy of some things. When I first set this up I did not have things deleted on the remote copy. Being an archive, I felt a few extra files are better than missing ones. I would now like to delete the remote-only files in a controlled fashion. So I have run this command to see what would be deleted: rsync -nazv --delete --delete-after --rsh=ssh theDir backup:/vol1/theDir My question is, would this rsync command only delete files on the destination system? In my case, in backup:/vol1/theDir? I do not want anything deleted in 'theDir'. I do not expect that there are any local files that are not in the remote. But just in case. In my dry run, I saw that there were many hundreds of files that could be deleted. Perhaps I should just collect the names and see if they exist locally. Which they should not... But would rsync ever delete files in 'theDir'?
