Hi, I am runing rsync --backup --backup-dir=$BACKUPDIR where the BACKUPDIR=$(date +%d) to recycle the $BACKUPDIR in a month. But rsync does not clean the $BACKUPDIR before writing to it in cycling. I guess you have to clean it manually before the rsync can write to it. As my $BACKUPDIR is in remote machine, do you have to run ssh to delete it first b...

...lar rsync use-case I'm involved in implementing - hoping someone here might be able to clue me in! I've got an existing linux box, with a particular directory that needs to be mirrored onto another server, into a different base path on that server - i.e.: server1:/var/lib/bar/ to server2:/backupdir/var/lib/bar/ Now, server1:/var/lib/bar/ contains hundreds of files which are each symlink'd to one of a few files in the same directory: /var/lib/bar/base_file1 /var/lib/bar/base_file2 /var/lib/bar/base_file3 /var/lib/bar/foo -> /var/lib/bar/base_file1 /var/lib/bar/bar -> /var/lib/bar/b...

Thanks for the answer. > Did you got errors during the classicupgrade? I didn't do classicupgrade. My Samba AD DC was installed from scratch some months ago using the instructions from this page https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_AD_DC_HOWTO and everything had been working well. I just upgraded some deb-packages with samba to the same version but different buid-release. Regarding

I installed rsync on both Ubuntu hosts from repository (3.0.6) and cwrsync from http://www.itefix.no/i2/node/10650 (3.0.7). Then I wrote some Bash-Scripts which executes rsync every week like that: BACKUPDIR=/var/backup rsync -v -a 192.168.x.y::data $BACKUPDIR/weekly.0 And every day like that: rsync -v -a --link-dest=$BACKUPDIR/weekly.0 192.168.x.y::data $BACKUPDIR/daily.0 In the backups of the Ubuntu host, I can see that the Inode number of the same file in weekly.0 and daily.0 is the same (ls -l...

Hi all, I am very new to the rsync world (as well as the linux world) and have some really basic doubts. Please bear with me. I installed RH 9 on two systems in the same network and Rsync 2.5.5 was automatically installed with it. When I executed the command “rsync –avz test.txt /backupdir/ ”, it backed up the file test.txt into backupdir/test.txt. But when I tried the command “rsync –avz test.txt system2::home/” , it gave me the following: “system2 connection refused. Rsync: connection unexpectedly closed.
