I’m looking for a linux program that can mirror a directory to another drive and move a subdirectory in the mirror.

    I use RealTimeSync.

    It just… Works. I love it. It’s free.

    There are plenty of features that could effectively let you do what you want.

    Mine is set to sync my server with a backup whenever my main PC is idle for 20 mins. Once it determines how to sync, it lets me review before syncing.

        You can also have rsync exclude specific files, so you could sync the main dir first, then the special subdir specifically

    rclone sync might be a acceptable?

    It doesn’t move files from one dir to another but it would delete the old directory and recopy to the new directory.

    I think rsync has the same functionality but could be wrong
