Beginning with 2.6.4, rsync does file deletions on the receiving side
|

incrementally as each directory is being transferred (which makes the

transfer more efficient than a separate delete pass before or after the

transfer). If you are sending files to an older rsync, --delete will

behave as --delete-before (see below). See also --delete-after.

|

|
||||
One reason to use --delete-before is if the filesystem is tight for space
|
||||
If you don't specify --delete-during (--del) or --delete-after, the
|
||||
file deletions will be done before the first file is transferred.
|
||||
This is helpful if the filesystem is tight for space
|
||||
and removing extraneous files would help to make the transfer possible.
|

However, it does introduce a delay before the start of the transfer (while
|

the receiving side is being scanned for deletions) and this delay might

cause the transfer to timeout.
