Request: rsync that deletes old files

[nick_woodforth]

hey asustor,

i am using rsync to backup to a 2nd nas that i have but all the files that i delete from the source are still on the destination. can you add a feature to rsync to remove the deleted files from the destination?

thanks
nick

rsync has this options, from the man file:

Code: Select all

--delete                delete extraneous files from dest dirs

search for "rsync delete" to get more info

so you can make it like this:

Code: Select all

rsync --dry-run --delete source/ destination/

sorry for taking ages to reply i thought i had emails alerts on.(turns out i didnt )
im guessing i would have to do that via ssl?
i haven't done much with ssl before. can i schedule though ssl as well??
