For testing, the --verbose, -v option is very handy too. I often run `rsync -avn ...` to do a dry-run and check that the files/directories I expect to be transferred/updated are indeed included.
I find -i (itemise) better than -v these days.
Thanks for introducing me to that option Cameron! That does look quite nice for the places I often use --verbose.
That shows how long it's been since my last thorough read of the rsync man page.
I won't place any bets on how long it'll take me to break my -v habit.
I'll have to share this with a friend I sometimes tease for using 'sort | uniq' instead of 'sort -u' now that I'm the one with ancient muscle memory. ;)
