Cool. It also occurred to me that a flag that tells rsync not to copy
files if they aren't already at the destination would be useful.
--existing will do it.
Looking thru the manpage, I see that the -C flag is a cvs style
exclusion. Is there any reason for using an explicit exclusion in one
command and a CVS style exclusion in the other?
rsync -avuzb --exclude '*~' samba:samba/ .
rsync -Cavuzb . samba:samba/
Other than this, I think you've all helped me solve this problem.
Thank you!
Lou
