Rsync problems

slufoot80 · 11-04-2015, 10:41 AM

Ok I have done an initial rsync and I have ran updates which is working fine

command I am running is:

Code:

rsync -au --update --ignore-existing /nas_ftp5/Customer/Imaging/Troy/fmccfax /fax01

but my source is changing and removing files so what I want is my destination to match if a file is deleted on the source I want it deleted on the destination
but when I ran the new command

Code:

rsync -av --delete --progress /nas_ftp5/Customer/Imaging/Troy/fmccfax /fax01

the destination has more data then the source, the source is at 5 gig and the destination is at 8 gig, I want them to both match

Have you tried;

Code:

rsync -avu --delete source_folder/ destination_folder/

Maybe the source has hard linked files and you're not preserving the hard links?
