How to use 'cp' as a simple but reliable backup tool
Well, believe. The first presumption that cp gives is "I'm not endangering my source files". It copies from a to b. Period. There was some testing done to perfect the flags, sure. And I admit to not realising the --dry-run option of rsync.

I only kid. :-) But please accept my apology, as I see you are getting quite a bit of flak for posting this hint. I didn't mean to insult you personally.

Thanks for the thoughtful reply. I understand and appreciate your comments. As always, knowing exactly what to search for is the key. I had no idea, until now, that "local" had special meaning in rsync terms. :-)

Could you please post as a hint your rsync solution to reconciling iTunes Libraries? It would be useful to know if you are, in fact, reconciling the songs/playcounts/ratings/playlists/etc. across multiple computers, or merely synchronizing the contents of the "iTunes Music" folders. In other words, suppose the metadata for song #1 was changed on computer A and for song #2 on computer B. Would your rsync command reflect those changes on both computers?
It also would be useful to know both the version of iTunes you are using and the version of rsync. Thanks! |
