Are you suggesting that
rsync /home/root/sources localhost:/mnt/OldDisk/root/sources/
will do what we want ?
Pretty much. :)
Well i have uncovered that even the following command will achieve
the desired thing .
rsync /home/root/sources/ /mnt/OldDisk/root/sources/ or if you wish
rsync /path/to/source /path/to/destination .
It seems that omiting localhost: will have no negative result to the
command .
I use the following:
$ rsync --archive --delete --sparse --stats /path/to/source
/path/to/destination
Thanks pretty much for the example .
Take a look at the rsync(1) man page for more information about its
options and parameters:
$ man 1 rsync
I already have taken a quick look at the man page .
Hope that helps.
It certainly does . Thanks
Kostas
