Rsync not syncing
I have been using rsync to backup a large directory full of pictures from one ReadyNAS device to another. Or so I thought. I set it up some time ago, and clearly stopped checking it was working,...
But the log says it is. I think they are being copied into Backup Pictures/Pictures because you have no trailing forward slash after the destination directory name.
You could try setting "schedule full backup" on the options page back to "never" and then try again. That won't copy over files that are already on the destination.
Giving this a go....but logically it doesn't make sense...? 🙂
Shouldn't a full backup copy everything across? And an Incremental one then only copies the things that have changed?
One other bit of info...I did, at some point (cannot recall when) move a few directories around on the source. But what I was expecting would happen (and having looked at the destination directories, believe it did) was that rsync would copy the files that were moved to their new location (as they essentially become "new" files on the source) and leave them alone in their old location on the destination (as I'm not deleting anything on the destination when it is removed from source).
