Daily Build and better RSync usage

Following my previous post about RSync, i came across pretty trivial use case that i wanted my daily build to be copied to external locations in a new folder.

I could achieve this in couple of ways (for example):

1. have one main StagingArea folder that is being sync, and post execution to copy the directory to a new name (use server side action / client side psexec)
2. new option i found today was to use the "--copy-dest=DIR" - this allowed me to copy my new artifacts to a new folder on target while having rsync check for previous file on different directory (instead of maintaining StagingArea directory , i can simply put my previous build number )

So example for option two command line is (new build is 11.0.0.188 and previous build is 11.0.0.187) :

rsync.exe -av --copy-dest="../11.0.0.187" "11.0.0.188/" "[replace_with_target_machine]::[replace_with_rsync_module]/11.0.0.188"

i used this "complex" command line because i wanted that the build number will not be compared (coz i don't have folder with that name yet), pay attention that --copy-dest is relative to target directory you used.

Also when the source contains trailing "/" it means copy the directory content (not including the folder name)
