Hi,
I have a bit of a tricky question about rsync.
Let's say I want to backup a bunch of configuration files with rsync, in
a script.
What I don't want to do : a full snapshot of /etc.
What I want to do : backup only those files I need, in an otherwise
empty directory tree.
In my script, I'd begin with a list of the files I effectively want to
backup. Something like :
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
/etc/httpd/vhosts.d/*.conf
/etc/exports
Then I'd have some other files in /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/sbin,
which I would like to backup too.
Instead of a puzzling explanation, let me just show you how I would like
my resulting backup to look like, so you get the idea :
etc/
`-- httpd
|-- conf
| `-- httpd.conf
`-- vhosts.d
|-- site1.conf
|-- site2.conf
`-- site3.conf
usr/
`-- local
|-- bin
| |-- script1.sh
| `-- script2.sh
|-- sbin
|-- sbinscript3.sh
`-- sbinscript4.sh
Now if I do something like this :
rsync -av /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf destinationfolder/
I get something like :
destinationfolder/httpd.conf
QUESTION (at last) : is there a way rsync can somehow add the full file
path, so the end result is more like :
destinationfolder/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf ?
Any suggestions ?
Niki
