Hi, I've tried various combinations of --exclude and --include, but I can't quite get it. What I'd like to do is only mirror certain directories in a tree. For example, say a directory tree starting at /x contained under it several directories named "abc". I want to mirror only the "abc" directories and what's under them and nothing else. /x/abcdef/456

Hi-- Ok. I?ve now run into the next thing I can?t find in man, and this time, I googled as well: --exclude /afs/\* I thought you could just say: --exclude /afs/* or even --exclude /afs/ To exclude the entire afs directory. Can you explain what the purpose of the \ and * are here? Thanks again :) All My Best, Jeffrey on 8/6/06 5:00 AM, rsync-request@lists.samba.org at

Hi! Is there a possibiliy to tell rsync only to copy files less than eg 10Mb of size? I'm running a dedicated backup-server, and would like to skip backing up my downloaded iso-files. They can bee downloaded again if requeired ;-) -- Henning Wangerin <mailinglists-after-041101_reply-not-possible@hpc.dk>

Hello I have been using cwRsync on some Windows boxes, backing up to a Linux server. I have found some issues which files being open and not being copied etc, so I decided that I would log the output from the rsync command on the Windows clients so that I can look at them. On the Windows boxes, I put the rsync command in a batch file and run that automatically each evening. However, if I simply

Hi, We use rsync to share data between two remote sites. We are using rsync after configuration of the rsync.conf file. I created a module in the file with the relevant entries and permissions. The problem is that I get "connection refused ", when I try to run rsync in the following way: root@rsync1-mpg:/root# rsync ptsinf01.pt.intel.com:: rsync: failed to connect to

I am looking for documentation on creating the secrets file. man -k rsync on my system doesn't have any reference to how to create a secrets file. Also, rsync.samba.org didn't seem to have documentation either. Any pointers? -- -- David Bear College of Public Programs at Arizona State University

Hi there Is there a commercial license for using Rsync or the Rsync algorithm within a commercial product? I appreciate that Rsync as it stands is GNU and therefore it cannot be used in this way, but I thought that I would ask the list. I understand that it is open source, but we have an application that would benefit from something like Rsync and therefore thought we would ask the question. If

I was under the impression that --include and --exclude worked by matching patterns in the order given, and whichever matched first, whether that was an include or exclude determined the action for that file. I have a big directory from which I am attempting to transfer selected files. I want all files where the first level directory is anything, the second level directory is "2005"

Hi All, I've been using the great file-attr-restore script with rsync to get around problems with uid's on a portable hard drive... It's the perfect solution for me. (for those that haven't seen it,you can get it here: http://samba.org/ftp/unpacked/rsync/support/file-attr-restore ) Anyway, I found a small bug in the script. file-attr-restore fails for file names with dollar

Hi rsync devs and users, I want to use rsync to synchronize home directories on two PCs. It works fine if I start rsync after working on a host each time I leave. But instead of operating modes "host1 -> host2" and "host2 -> host1" I would like to have a mode "host1 <-> host2" to allow synchronizing at any time -> Scenario: - on host1 files A,B have

Back in June I posted about the trouble I've been having backing up some local directories and I'm no further ahead than back then. Link for that discussion: http://lists.samba.org/archive/rsync/2007-June/017882.html In summary: I'm copying nearly a million small files from the main disk in a server to another disk in the same machine. Still on this server, but at a different time,
