Hello Rsync users,
I,m using rsnapshot, an incremental backup too based on rsync to backup data
from remote servers using ssh. The data mainly consists of windows shares
(samba & windows NT4 Server). Most of the shares backup ok but when backing
up some shares the following error is recorded in
/var/log/rsnapshot :
[20/Mar/2004:01:17:45] ERROR: /usr/local/bin/rsync returned 23
Once this error has been recieved the backup stops, the data having been
partially backed up. I cant understand this because other times the backup
will work correctly. This does seem to happen more often on NT4 Server
though.
I am using the following parameters with rsync:
-rtlD --delete --numeric-ids
When googling for a solution i found the folling link :
http://lists.samba.org/archive/rsync/2003-August/006812.html
Which states the " rsync returns 23 (RERR_PARTIAL) when a file has been
deleted after the list has been created " . This does not make much sence
to
me but maybe someone else can make sense of it.
Any help/comments please ?.
Thank you.
Ian
