help me on rsync logging
 

Folks,

I have a problem on logging my rsync activities. I want that the log output filename includes the date and time of the rsync activity. Every time the rsync backup, the logfilename must have date and time.

My problem is, I dont know how to do it.

Can somebody please help me on this, I am using SUSE linux as my OS


thanks

Roy

The log file already contains date information on the files, but if you want the date/time as part of the filename, you can do something like:
The $() expression will run the date command (with format YYYYYYMMDDhhmmss) to include as part of the filename.
