Hello,
I'm working on getting backup files from remote hosts. They are all in the same folder structure. (yes some are in sub-folders) I spent most of yesterday searching rsync threads for examples of using the find command embedded in the rsync command. However the all are for sending local files to a remote computer. I need the reverse.
What I fear is that embedding the find command in the rsymc command won't work due to the fact that their are sub-folders that 'can' contain valid backup files. This seems to be the case as I have two sets of hosts. On one set of hosts, the backups are all in one folder, the other the could be in sub-folders.
Here's what I have, a bit kludgy but it does work.
If this is the final solution, I'm good with it. Just wondering if anyone has any ideas.
Thanks!

ssh $IP 'find /$remote_folder/ -type f -mtime '$newer_then'' > "$f_list"
if [ ! -z "$f_list" ]
then
cat "$f_list" | while read file
do
$RSYNC $ROPT --protocol=$PROTO $IP:$file /$local_folder/$SITE/$folder/
done
