Re: [CentOS] Rsync and full path of filenames

Niki Kovacs wrote:

rsync -av /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf destinationfolder/

I get something like :

destinationfolder/httpd.conf

QUESTION (at last) : is there a way rsync can somehow add the full file path, so the end result is more like :

destinationfolder/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf ?

Any suggestions ?

Personally, I'd run backuppc (http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/ or the epel package) and take the whole tree because (a)it will compress the files and link all duplicates so it doesn't waste that much space, (b) when you need a copy you'll have it instead of finding out it was one you didn't bother to include, and (c) it won't take you a week to set up and test.
