Including the --delete option in the command gets rid of files in the destination folder that don't exist at the source. |
Excellent suggestion, SSS, I'm going to make that mod to the script right now.
It looks from
this man page like the syntax should be -e --delete. Therefore the whole line will be revised to:
Code:
rsync -avHK -e --delete /opt/zimbra/ /backup/zimbra
Thank you!
