What I > can't do is find an rsync command that will address the removable drive. when it is mount, the removable device is like a folder.. then if you want sync the files on box, via removable drive, to laptop i propose: 1) on box: # test -d /media/key/folder-with-big-file && rsync -avz (--delete) /home/user/folder-with-big-file /media/key 2) unplug removable device from box, plug removable device on laptop 3) on laptop: # test -d /media/key/folder-with-big-file && rsync -avz (--delete) /media/key/folder-with-big-file /home/user (warning for --delete) Is this what you want? -- Dario Lesca <d.lesca@xxxxxxxxxx>
