Sync Deletes Files

[Gainax]

Hi

We currently use S3sync to upload a folder to amazon's S3 service.

The only problem we have, is that if a file in the folder we are syncing has been deleted, it removes it from the S3 aswell.

I'm using the following code in upload.sh

Code:

ruby s3sync.rb -r -s -v -d  --exclude="cache$|captchas$" --delete /home/share/ bolser:/share > /var/log/s3sync/backup.err > /var/log/s3sync/backup.log

Does the

Code:

--delete

part mean, to delete files in S3 that aren't in the the folder /home/share?

I want to keep all the files that have ever been synced to remain in S3, regardless of them being deleted in /home/share

Thanks

Yes with "--delete" you are instructing it to do the thing that you don't want.  There is also no need to use -d unless you are debugging.
