I had an unfortunate data wipe recently when updated from 5.16.2 to 5.16.9 by hand on my Kindle Scribe. I didn’t do a full backup, so that was a good lesson for me

I should definitely do something like this, so thank you for starting this topic!

Do you guys know if rsync can handle and sync also detecting duplicates?

For example, I have books in /mnt/us/books/

Once I read a book, I move to the archive folder under /mnt/us/books/ARCHIVE/

What I would like to do this:
1) Sync 1: book1.epub and its sdr folder are in /mnt/us/books/
2) Read the book and put into archive at /mnt/us/books/ARCHIVE
3) Sync 2: rsync synced the book and added it to ARCHIVE. But I also would like it to delete backup from /mnt/us/books/

I now this is a trivial script and I should probably write it by hand, but maybe there are some advanced tools that can take care of this?
