I ran it again but with: rsync -ah --stats --delete -e "ssh -p613 -l root" 192.168.192.2:/etc/name* /home/rgm/data/htt/httnet/homebase/new/newetc And the newetc directory was created with all the files. I again ran: rsync -ah --stats --delete -e "ssh -p613 -l root" 192.168.192.2:/etc/name* /home/rgm/data/htt/httnet/homebase/new/etc And none of the /etc/name.* files get moved. Strange. Well I got my backup.
