Hi all. I did some testing and had rsync backup a folder, and then hard link files when doing incremental backups. The problem now is that it doesn't seem to work when the destination and --link-dest is a samba share. On the local machine, it worked all ok, but since changing the destination to the samba mount (/Volumes/our.backup). I am using rsync 3.0.2. The error i get is: rsync: link "/Volumes/our.backup/today/CentOS-4.5-i386-binDVD.iso" => /Volumes/our.backup/yesterday/CentOS-4.5-i386-binDVD.iso failed: Operation not supported (45) i try to link the file manually, and it doesn't work, so i guess this means it's more a OS X issue (or samba?) than an rsync issue. Just curious if anyone else out there has a work around for it. the rsync line i try is: rsync -ahvi --modify-window=1 --delete --stats --timeout=360 --link-dest=/Volumes/our.backup/yesterday /Volumes/Data /Volumes/our.backup/today Any advice? Thanks. -------------- next part -------------- HTML attachment scrubbed and removed
