I've created a backup script with rsync and I have it running every 10 minutes. I am copying files from HFS to Fat32. I have it logging using --progress but to make reading the log easier I only want to include files that are transferred. I.e. at the end of a run I would like to see something in the log like:Started transfer at 2012-07-31 11:03:45/some/file/that/was/changed.txt/another/file/that/was/added.jpgNumber of files: 35184Number of files transferred: 2I can't find anything after a bit of googling. Is there a way to do this?Thanks.
Logging only transferred files with rsync
rsync
I figured it out in the end. I noticed that the reason it was listing everything was because I was using the -a flag.I'm syncing to fat32 so something about the -a flag was causing it to try to sync all the files every time.I changed the flags to -tr and that solved the problem. I don't know what it was about the -a flag that was causing it but I know that fat32 isn't as detailed as other files systems and file comparisons don't always work properly between filesystems as a result.
