I was just going to enter the rsync text
('rsync -aWq /media/bmike1/RedSanDisk /home/bmike1/Documents')
into
a terminal ((I verified this goof only affects this user) when I realized I wasn't sure I had all of the nuances and I
wanted to make sure I got it down right before I really screwed tings up. First: Here is the directory
and file of the backup:
bmike1@MikesBeast ~ $ ls /media/bmike1/RedSanDisk
Documents
Second:
the rsync manpage talks about the trailing slash changing the behavior
of the way it copies. I don't understand.
'rsync -aWuq --delete-before
/home/bmike1/Documents /media/bmike1/RedSanDisk'
seems to copy it the
way I want. Does the slash affect the way it copies it back. Or else
what does it do?
