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.

hi, i'm trying to use rsync to backup some directories of my box. i.e. i will backup the whole subtree /opt/ except /opt/apache/ and except /opt/kde3. the rest in /opt/ should be copied to my external 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

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.

Hi all I have been pondering this for a while, but not yet seen a clean way to do it I have a few puppet classes (apache/ntp/mysql/bacula/nagios/etc) I would like to generate part of my bacula and nagios configs for each host based on which other classes that host belongs to (or to put it another way, I would like to export variables from classes which would be used by my bacula and nagios

...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 susp...
