dit(bf(--compare-dest=DIR)) This option instructs rsync to use em(DIR) on
the destination machine as an additional directory to compare destination
files against when doing transfers if the files are missing in the
destination directory. Files that are identical to one of the specified
directories are not transferred. This is useful for creating a sparse

the destination machine as an additional hierarchy to compare destination
files against doing transfers (if the files are missing in the destination
directory). If a file is found in em(DIR) that is identical to the
sender's file, the file will NOT be transferred to the destination
directory. This is useful for creating a sparse backup of just files that
have changed from an earlier backup.
Beginning in version 2.6.4, multiple --compare-dest directories may be
provided and rsync will search the list in the order specified until it
finds an existing file. That first discovery is used as the basis file,
and also determines if the transfer needs to happen.
If em(DIR) is a relative path, it is relative to the destination directory.
See also --copy-dest and --link-dest.
dit(bf(--copy-dest=DIR)) This option behaves like bf(--compare-dest), but
rsync will also copy unchanged files found in em(DIR) to the destination
directory (using the data in the em(DIR) for an efficient copy). This is
useful for doing transfers to a new destination while leaving existing
files intact, and then doing a flash-cutover when all files have been
successfully transferred. If em(DIR) is a relative path, it is relative to
the destination directory. See also --compare-dest and --link-dest.

unchanged files are hard linked from em(DIR) to the destination directory.
The files must be identical in all preserved attributes (e.g. permissions,
possibly ownership) in order for the files to be linked together.
An example:
verb(
rsync -av --link-dest=$PWD/prior_dir host:src_dir/ new_dir/
)
If more than one --link-dest option is specified, rsync will try to find an
exact match to link with (searching the list in the order specified), and
if not found, a basis file from one of the em(DIR)s will be selected to try
to speed up the transfer. See also --compare-dest and --copy-dest.
Beginning with version 2.6.4, if more than one --link-dest option is
specified, rsync will try to find an exact match to link with (searching

If em(DIR) is a relative path, it is relative to the destination directory.

Note that rsync versions prior to 2.6.1 had a bug that could prevent
