Given three servers where Server 1 has several GB of files and Server 2 has
several GB of files and Server 3 has all the files from both Server 1 and
Server 2 in a single directory, how can I remove files on Server 3 that do not
exist on either Server 1 or Server 2?
For example, it's say Server1:/home/user1 and Server2:home/user1 have rsync
jobs that sync to Server3:/backups/users/user1 and most of the files exist on
both server1 and server2, then server3 contains the newest version of each
file, but it also contains files that do not exist on either of Server1 nd
Server2. This means that if Server1 needs to restore /home/user1/folder it will
not only get all the files that should be in folder on Server2, but also all
the files that USED to be in folder on either server1 or server2.
I suspect the answer to this is "this isn't a task for rsync" and if so, what
might it be a task for?
