Is there any way to have rsync compare against a file with a *different* name?
What I'd like to do is compare a vm - whatsit.img against a backup - whatsit.current, that's a symlink to whatsit.timestamp, and if different, *then* make the copy (which my script will then move to whatsit.newtimestamp, and change the symlink to point to the new one, then remove the old (or maybe save an older copy or two).
So: backupdir \ whatsit.20130101 (backup of whatsit.img) whatsit.current -> whatsit.20130101 whatsit.20121201
After script w/ rsync backupdir \ whatsit.20130201 (backup of whatsit.img) whatsit.current -> whatsit.20130201 whatsit.20130101
