I want to use rsync to backup a directory from a local location to a remote location, and store changed files in another remote location. I did use:

rsync -rcvhL --progress --backup [email protected]:/home/user/Changes/`date +%Y.%m.%d` . [email protected]:/home/user/Files/

The --backup-dir stays empty, while it should be filled. Is it possible what I try to accomplish, and am I doing something wrong?

Thanks
