Conflicting Changes Detection about bitpocket HOT 2 CLOSED

In theory it would be possible. But because rsync doesn't have option to not delete files that were modified after some timestamp it would need to be implemented manually. Bitpocket is really a glue script preparing args for rsync and then running rsync twice. I'm not sure what would be the simplest way to achieve that.

Agreed. I currently use unison to keep 40GB in sync across 4 computers. It does what it's supposed to but it requires a lot of manual intervention and god forbid one of the hostnames change. I like the simplicity of the bitpocket script. I use rsync to backup several different OSs so I'm somewhat familiar with its quirks. I've tried before to sketch out a way for just a script and rsync to handle every type of conflicting change, but unison worked just well enough to keep me from finishing. I'm not sure it's possible to do without running rsync several more times each sync. I think I'll look again at the log file format for rsync and see if there's not a way to grep that format as elegantly as the rest of the script performs.
