I have a secondary backup drive that is usually stored offsite, but sometimes mounted. I'd like to put something in a crontab that automatically clones my backup drive to the secondary backup if it's mounted. I know that I could do something like:
if [ -d $target_dir ]; then rsync -a --delete $src_dir $target_dir; fi
but I'm wondering if there's a way to ask rsync the same thing, without resorting to a shell script? Given that it has 6.02*10^23 command line options, you'd think so...
