title: rsync ignoring --SUFFIX option
body: <pre><code>rsync -auve ssh --backup --suffix='2008-10-03-1514539' --backup-dir='/tmp/' module.pm root@web1:/path/to/module.pm
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I run this command without the --backup-dir option and when it copies the file over, it creates a backup with a current timestamp. When I include the --backup-dir option, it makes the backup into the /tmp/ directory but never attaches my suffix. </p>
  
  <p>There is nothing in the <a href="http://samba.anu.edu.au/ftp/rsync/rsync.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">manual</a> to suggest that you can't use both these options together. I've played around with the order also and nothing seems to fix it.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone have a solution to this?</p>
