[FredLUG] Re: Help with rsync

[Chris O'Donnell]

That was it. What I don't understand is why

rsync -avh /mnt/photos/2009Photos /mnt/backup/Photos/ copies the new folders that get added to 2009Photos over to the backup drive, but it wasn't working for the music directory without the trailing slash.

Thanks.
