Hi all
I need a bit of help with rsync (well grsync actually but I assume grsync is
just an interface to rsync) please...
What I've used it for in the past is to mirror two drives - and it works
fine. However I've noticed the following and I need a workaround. Let A
be the master and B be the backup.
If A contains:
/foo/bar/fred
Say I've backed up A to be before such that B now also contains
/foo/bar/fred
Now let's suppose that I make a change to A so that it is now
/foo/bar/1987/fred
(and fred is still the same file). Running grsync in the usual way means I
end up with
/foo/bar/1987/fred (which is correct)
but I also end up with
/foo/bar/fred (which is now a duplicate - and can be
deleted)
What I want grsync to do is ensure B is a direct copy of A. I'd prefer not
to do this via taking an image (because A and B are retail USB 2TB drives
and have some form of windows utility (which comes back after formatting no
matter what fs I choose) on them and the last thing I need is to render them
unusable).
I suspect it's just a switch I need to set but I can't find it immediately -
so any help very well received.
Cheers
Rob
