Hello, Since the very first day I've been using rsync - some 15 years ago - the filtering rules caused great grieve. Their behaviour is just not the way I'd expect it be be and as I read the manpage. Usually I end up with some hand-written recipes, carefully documented,y including all the gotchas. This time however I failed and I see no other way than to ask for advice. Given the

I am trying to get two servers to copy each others data to the other server. I need it to be done real time a not use a cron. Can rsync running as a daemon monitor the files system to trigger a transmission? If so how do I configure it? I am running Solaris 9. Thank you. ______________________ Charles Berman Senior Unix Administrator "Think Globally" The contents of this email

Hello, There's a certain use case where rsync cannot act as bandwidth- efficient as possible. Therefore I was wondering whether rsync could be extended (albeit not trivially) to a more content-addressable way of operation, or whether there's an application around that could serve me better. Situation: Synchronise huge file trees over a rather thin link. Additionally, the receiving side

Hello, As far as I can see there's no option to get a list of files/directories/ whatever that have been transferred. This is not exactly the same as the --verbose output for two reasons: At first the -v output has been sanitized to avoid terminal confusion, second this might be hard to parse since it contains other information, too (nitpicking: Does "deleting foo" mean that the

The recent security update for sudo (DSA 946-1) introduced a significant change, the environment is cleared much more thoroughly than before. As one result SSH_CONNECTION is not availble any more. Due to this my installations stopped working as they use rsh (as unprivileged user) to log in, sudo to gain required root rights for rsync and "hosts allow" in rsyncd.conf - the latter now

Hi there, there's an old proposal to exclude a directory and its subdirectories from being backed up and the like, by placing a file name CACHEDIR.TAG into it with a certain content, see [*] for details. rsync lacks support for that and I was wondering why. Unless there are strong reasons against it, I'd like to add it. After a quick glance into the sources it seems this should be

Hi, doing a rather usual backup: | rsync -av --delete /path/to/sender/ /path/to/receiver/ some items might be removed or overwritten on the receiving side. I'd like to keep a copy of these files/links/whatever. Is there a way to create a copy of them in another tree right before they are purged? Christoph
