Rsync Command Destroyed my Server = :(

So I am replacing a server with a new one however I wanted to move all the data from my /builds partition on old server (lt2fs3) to the new server (lt2fs4) and when I ran the following command - I basically destroyed the entire new server (lt2fs4).

The command I ran was:

Code:

rsync -ave ssh --stats --delete-after /builds/ lt2fs4:/

I am running the above command from the old server obviously.

Anyone know what I did wrong? The new server was completely hosed...

Oh, so that trailing "/" after builds is what did it for me?
