I am trying to do a remote backup with script: find /path/*.gz -exec rm {} \; && tar -czpvf $BACKUP_DIR/bdsomething-$DATE.tar.gz --exclude='this-file' /source/path && rsync -avhz --progress --delete /path-dir-backup root@10.x.x.x:/path-remote-server and give me error: rsync error: syntax or usage…

My guess is that the error you describe is because you have the delete at the start of a new line and the previous line is not ending with a backslash. But it’s not clear what your are trying to do.

Hello @pfaffman I did use --delete to delete what not “new” at the path-remote-server. I did try without --delete but returns that I can not use or syntax or usage error about --progress parameter. I try other forms but not work! Thanks

Hello @justin I am sorry I not found where can I post there! Thank you!

Hi there - are you trying to perform a Discourse backup this way? You can run a Discourse backup from the command line.
