Feature request: age limits to select files to transfer

Open hadmut opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

Hi,

it would be quite useful to have options which limit the transfer of files to those with a given min or max age or before or after a given date.

There's several proposals in forums to workaround with a find command printing a list of files and using it as input for the --files-from option, but it would be much more reliable and easier, less error prone, if rsync had options to filter out files too old or too young.

best regards Hadmut

This is very similar to my request. I didn't find yours due to the very different wording, but I will link it, so both are connected in some way.
