Hi, I experience a slow backup problem with Time Machine on Mac. The info below does not help to reduce the backup time to a reasonable period. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204412 So I'd like to use grsync/rsync to incrementally back my disk. I know that Time Machine somehow can create hard links to manage incremental links. Since grsync/rsync is primarily targeted at Linux, is it a good idea to use it for Mac? Also, by using grsync/rsync, I guess that I will loose the ability to recover the bootabl...

I can't find any evidence it was ever in RHEL or CentOS. It looks like it's in the Nux Desktop repo and the Repoforge repo for EL5 and 6 and Nux for EL7. > 6) While I do real...

Hello. I think it is just too easy to make mistakes with rsync. And getting it "almost correct" can really get you hurt. So I would like to learn with Grsync. But, Grsync does not seem to be in the centos 7 or EPEL 7 repositories (although it may have been around as late as centos 6). Is it now in any "reputable" repositories? If not, has anyone installed it from source code, and if so, did it work okay?

...g to look up stuff like the trailing slashes each time. And trying to decide what to (--exclude), to -H or not to -H, etc. 3) I hate having to re-do #2 every time I want to do a small ad-hoc backup or synchronization, let alone a full filesystem backup. 4) I could do shut down, reboot, and run Grsync from a cd or USB stick. But what a hassle for minor, ad-hoc stuff. Should only have to do that for full backups. 5) If Grsync was in centos before, why was it removed? "Because it's not in RHEL." Okay, but why not? 6) While I do really appreciate CLI stuff, more and more I hav...

...ish the first time (without the .something files) all the remaining files and just do one way synchronization (whatever is on the hdd gets reflected on the external storage) 2. A folder on another machine which has one directory (again one way synchornization) . In reality I'm gonna go with Grsync as the solution at the end (which is the UI slapped on top of rsync) but before I trust Grsync I need to how this works. I also read quite a bit of documentation on the net where they talk about using rsync & cron to do the job but still nobody does explain what the flags do & why I need t...

The only things I find confusing are what the trailing / means on a directory name

I had to make do with DOS 3.0 on an 8088 w/ 2 floppy drives... and let me tell you how much fun it was to compile (I kid you not)

...nning my script to backup my files to a remote NAS on my network but I keep getting these annoying rsync failure messages on my log. rsync: failed to set times on "/home/user/BackupDrive" : Not a directory (20) I was getting a bunch of these errors.

Hi rsync-ers I woulder if there is a good gui for rsync that works in windows? and why dosen't rsync compile under MinGW? Best Regards P?r Moberg, Sweden

rsync in daemon mode is very powerful, yet it comes with one big disadvantage: data is sent in plain. The workarounds are not really satisfying: - use VPN - one needs to set up an extra service, not always possible - use stunnel - as above - use SSH - is not as powerful as in daemon mode (i.e. read only access, chroot, easy way of adding/modifying users and modules etc.) Why was encrypted
