How to prevent duplicated folders #491

Open gidimiz opened 5 years ago

gidimiz commented 5 years ago

Im trying to backup my crontabs folder using this command: /home/pi/dropbox_uploader.sh upload /var/spool/cron/crontabs /crontabs The first time that I run this, everything is fine and I get a new folder called crontabs under my dropbox apps folder. ( Dropbox > Apps > Backup >crontabs ) The second time that I run this line again without any changes ( as a weekly backup ), the API opens a new folder under the already existing folder, so i get this folder structure now: Dropbox > Apps > Backup > crontabs > crontabs The third time I run the same command I get:

Creating Directory "/crontabs/crontabs"... FAILED Skipping file "/var/spool/cron/crontabs/pi", file exists with the same hash Skipping file "/var/spool/cron/crontabs/root", file exists with the same hash Some error occurred. Please check the log.

Why is it duplicated the folders and how can I prevent this?

Thanks.

I have this issue too. I tried with and without trailing slash and I got random results

Thanks for any help!

Don't Know if I'm right but putting a trailing slash at the destination dir and removing at the source I've no more the issue

dropbox-uploader upload /dir/dir/source /destination_container/ give me everytime a /destination_container/source
