Hi,
I am using --link-dest for my rotating backups. Noticing the
"--detect-renamed-lax" patch to rsync 3.0.0. I was hoping to make use
of the --detect-moved. Unfortunately, "--detect-moved" does not seem
to recognize the --linkdest option. A moved file is getting transferred
again and a new file is created at the receiving end instead of
linking to the moved file. Am I doing something wrong or is --link-dest
simply not supported by --detect-moved?
Here is the command I am using:
/usr/bin/rsync -aHxh --stats --numeric-ids --detect-moved
--link-dest=/path/to/oldbackup --password-file=/XX user at remote::module/
/path/to/backup
I am using a detect-rename-lax patched version of of V 3.0.0 and both
ends.
