I've set up "my" server at work to grab a backup of the home directory from 
the engineering server each night, using rsync. The script that runs 
automatically with cron hasn't got the --delete option. I have a similar 
script which does have the --delete option, that I run manually from time to 
time to purge everything that's no longer needed.

Is there any time delay or "older than" option to delete? Just thinking out 
loud. I'll have to read the manual again.
