I have noticed that if I just _change_ the name of a folder, rsync doesn't realizes it. That is, if folder holidays_2013 contains, say, 1000 pictures of 10 MB each, I rsync it to a remote computer and then change its name locally to family_holidays_2013, on the next run rsync: - deletes the remote holidays_2013 and all its content - creates a remote family_holidays_2013 - uploads again to it ALL the 1000 pictures of 10 MB each even if all the "rsyncing" needed would be something equivalent to "mv holidays_2013 family_holidays_2013" on the remote server. Is it possible to tell rsync to behave in that way? I think not, but I'd like to be proven wrong on this. TIA, Marco
