[BASH] rsync - absolute destination path

[PaganoM]

Hi everyone, and thanks to all for your assistance.
I have a problem with the rsync command. I want to make a backup of a "source" directory in a "destination" directory.

I want to specify:

• "absolute path of destination" ==> example: ~/Destination [I give it in the terminal];

Then I want the rsync will make the Backup in: ~/Destination;

I have a problem when I use an "absolute path": my rsync will try to backup in $PATH/Destination (and not in $Destination).

Question: How can I remedy the concatenation of $destination after $PATH ???

Thank you so much ... I hope you'll help me, please.

Hmm, you do not show your rsyncd.conf,
nor the rsync command you use.
It is also unclear if either source or destination are on a remote computer

But a
rsync -av /source/* /destination/
should do the trick locally.
