Hi,

I've seen a page on the internet :
http://optics.ph.unimelb.edu.au/help/rsync/rsync_pc1.html

Seems to me that I have some problems running the rsync binary
with "--backup-dir=PATH" options.
The command below runs just fine except for the option
above.
C:\rsync>rsync --delete -b --backup 
--backup-dir=/cygdrive/c/Doc/backup/Fri -ave ssh /cygd
rive/c/Doc/backup/desktop/ bart2 at 192.168.0.100:/home/bart2/current2

backup_dir is /cygdrive/c/Doc/backup/Fri
wrote 145516 bytes  read 244 bytes  19434.67 bytes/sec
total size is 144445  speedup is 0.99
- --------------------

But directory "/cygdrive/c/Doc/backup/Fri"
is desperatly empty

Could you please Help me?
Do you think my version (rsync  version 2.5.1-dev) is bugged?

thanks in advance ,
