Filesync

Hi,I'm using filesync on solaris 9 box to backup few critical directories. By default, It deletes files on destination if they are missing in source directory. But, i dont want this to happen. How can i use/customize filesync to avoid deletions on destination directory.TIA,

The only answer in the "man filesync"

If you delete the files from your notebook, filesync will

want to perform the corresponding deletes on the server,

which would not be what you wanted. Rather, you would like a

way to tell filesync to stop synchronizing some of the

files. There are two ways to do this:

1. Edit $HOME/.packingrules. Delete the rules for the files

that you want to delete.

2. Delete $HOME/.packingrules. Use the filesync command to

specify the files that you want synchronized.

Either way works, and you can choose the one that seems

easiest to you. For minor changes, it is probably easier to

just edit $HOME/.packingrules. For major changes it is prob-

ably easier to start from scratch.

Once filesync is no longer synchronizing a set of files,

you can delete them from your notebook without having any

effect on the server.
