rsync -r -v --progress --delete -s /mnt/disks/TOWER_Docs/ /mnt/user/Docs

 

Good day crew, the above command replaces EVERY file in TOWER_2/Docs with Every file from TOWER/Docs but with a date/timestamp of the time of file transfer.

 

I need to sync the share (delete files that no longer exist, update files that have changed, leave alone files that have not changed, copy new files/folders, etc)

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

This is what I use:

 

rsync -av --progress --delete-before -e ssh /mnt/user/TV/ [email protected]:/mnt/user/TV/

Awesome Jonnie!

 

rsync -av --progress --delete-before /mnt/disks/TOWER_Docs/ /mnt/user/Docs

 

allows the correct date/timestamp to roll through!  First update is passing through the backup data nicely.

 

 

I believe what you were missing was the -a, you can adjust the other options as preferred.
