search for: backup_exclud

well, when I tell rsync to compare my home directory with itself, it reports many differences. I'm using rsync version 3.0.7 protocol version 30. I was hoping to use it to verify my backup.

...xternal usb harddisk. but i can't find a way to do this, because apache and kde3 are always included in the backup. here is the rsync-call: rsync --backup --one-file-system \ --delete --backup-dir=/mnt/backup/archive \ --archive --ignore-errors \ --exclude-from=/home/thomas/backup_exclude \ /opt/ /mnt/backup/current content of /home/thomas/backup_exclude /opt/apache/ /opt/kde3/ some other versions of the exclude file i've tried: - /opt/apache/ - /opt/kde3/ or - /opt/apache/* - /opt/kde3/* the result is: the whole /opt/ directory is backuped, including apache and kde3 :...

Hi Folks, I can't get the syntax of --include-from right, nothing at all gets transferred. The rsync command: # do the backup nice -n 15 rsync -av \ --include-from="/home/bob/backup_includes" \ --exclude-from="/home/bob/backup_excludes" \ $fromdir $todir The excludes file: .* *~ Videos/ Downloads/ Dropbox/ The includes file: .vimrc .gitconfig .bash_aliases .bashrc Videos/Music/Playlist/ Videos/Music/Originals/ Downloads/Iso/ I've spent hours on the man page getting nowhere. Thanks Bob -------------- next part -----...

...Include { Options { signature = MD5 compression = GZIP } <% backup_include.split(/, */).each do |file| -%> File = <%= file %> <% end -%> # INC = <%= backup_include %> } Exclude { File = /sys File = /proc File = /var/tmp <% backup_exclude.split(/, */).each do |file| -%> File = <%= file %> <% end -%> } } I would like the backup_include to automatically include /var/www if the host is an apache server (for example), and I would like those directories to be defined in the apache class (not the bacula class)...

...in some weird way) we are faced with the following apparently trivial problem: How the fsck do I specify to rsync what I want the two directories to be? Attempt one was the simple-minded $RSYNC_LOCAL -axHEz --delete --delete-excluded --delete-after \ --exclude-from=/Users/handleym/bin/backup_excludes.txt \ --ea-checksum \ --link-dest=$BASE_SRC/1/ $DST_DIR/1/ \ --rsync-path=$RSYNC_REMOTE \ --stats \ $SRC_DIR $DST_DIR/0/ \ 2>&1 >> $LOG_FILE This fails to parse. rsync apparently treats "--link-dest...

...ssion and bail out if it is less than some lower limit, maybe 1.2 or so. Maybe run compression till about 8KiB into the file, see how things are going and coontinue compressed or switch to uncompressed. AND/OR * We could simply allow for a user-supplied list of files, (presumably the same syntax as backup_excludes) that we would not bother to try to compress. This may not be as robust a strategy as the first scheme, but it is much easier to program, and should be good enough for most purposes. I'd recommend in addition that rsync ship with a starter template for this file that includes all the usual su...
