Re: rsync snapshot backup

Hi Dianne,

I am, using rsync 3.1.3.  The source and target drives are on the same system so there is no issue of mismatched versions.

Thanks,  Carolyn

Hi,

What version of rsync are you running?  My rsync's man page says this:

       Note that rsync versions prior to 2.6.1 had  a  bug  that  could
       prevent  --link-dest  from working properly for a non-super-user
       when -o was specified (or implied by -a).  You  can  work-around
       this bug by avoiding the -o option when sending to an old rsync.

Regards,

Dianne.
