Weird Rsync Issue

Post by fbergski »

I'm using FreeNAS 7 with Win7 and have an weird issue with Rsync. I'm using rsync client and delta copy on my win7 machine. I have two virtual directories created in delta copy.

They are:

MyPictures - linked to pictures folder in the library
Documents - linked to documents folder in the library

In the rysnc client on the NAS box I have two clients MyPictures and Documents. The Documents client is the issue. This should only copy folders in the Document folder on the Win7 box. When it runs it creates a My Pictures folder and then starts to copy pictures to that folder on the NAS. I do not have a folder called My Pictures anywhere on the Win7 computer. I do have a Pictures folders but it does not reside in the Document folder.

The document client was the same one I used when I had a xp box and I would copy over the My Documents folder and all it's subfolders which included My Pictures. I changed the name and changed the local share to "Documents".

Is there a conf file somewhere that may have the old folder tree info and it's using it?

Thanks,

Philip

Didn't find the problem but I used --exclude 'My Pictures' and it didn't create that directory or copy the files.
