-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hmmm, I am not sure this is possible. If you specify a source that no longer exists rsync will error. If you don't specify the source then rsync will not apply --delete to it on the target. You could always leave it as an empty directory and rsync would empty it on the target.
Maybe someone else has a creative idea.
