rsync 2.5.6
If I turn on the --backup (and --backup-dir and --suffix) options and
rsync a tree like
rsync --backup ... -av --delete dir1/ user at machine:dir1
I dont see the 'deleting ...' message in the output, but if I delete
a file in the source tree, it DOES get deleted from the target tree.
If I remove the '--backup' option, I do get the 'deleting ...'
message.
Why is this?
If the file is getting deleted, shouldnt the --verbose option print a
message to this effect?
Thanks
