if you want the backup to mirror the master
than you would want to use rsyn with the --delete option
( the backups deletes it copy of the removed file on the master )
if you want the deleted file to be removed from the backup.tgz file
than you'd have to:
- have rm put a lit of files it deleted into
/var/tmp/backup/delete.lst
- have your new backup.sh script unpack backup.tgz
- have your backup.sh script remove the list of files
in delete.lst
- rebuild the backup.tgz
- you're done
-- but why bother.... geez... defeats the purpose(?) of "backup"
-- more whacky backup scripts
