I'm probably missing something, but it looks like your first requirement rules out using --delete, but your third requirement seems to imply the need for it because you want the source and target to be identical - and it won't be if there are any files on the target which are not on the source. If this is the case, then you may have to use more than pass - the first at the top-level

Hello everyone, I'm new to this mailing list but I have been using rsync for some years up to now. I'm trying to synchronize two directory trees, but I want a special behavior that I didn't find on the net nor in the manual (or maybe there is a combination of options to get what I want but I couldn't find it). Tree A is like: A * * FolderA * * And tree B (on a remote

I was trying to process a bunch of folders to sync them to another drive and ran across an error I haven’t seen before. Normally I do this sync via a mounted file system, but this time I tried to do it over ssh: find . -type f -atime -1 -exec rsync -aP {} 10.0.0.11:/Volumes/Drive5/{} \; bash: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `(' bash: -c: line 0: `rsync --server -logDtpre.iLsfx

In my new bash script, I'm doing what I think is a very simple rsync command the way I'm used to doing it. I just do a lot of setup and checking before I get to it. When I run it, it gets very unhappy with me. It's probably something very simple. I need to build the rsync command in a string so that some things can go away - like if my variables DRY_RUN and DELETE are undefined,

Maybe a bit off topic. (I don't deal with any data even remotely that large.) How would you use these new options - just as a way to break large tasks into smaller "batches"? If rsync "stops in the middle", then the target would be in a sort of limbo where it might not be fully usable. Joe On 01/22/2015 09:38 AM, samba-bugs at samba.org wrote: >

I haven't used rsync with networks, but I do use bash a lot. First, let me state the obvious. It looks like your code is executing rsync in a bash one liner once for each file that find returns. That's not cool! And it's almost definitely not what you wanted to do. Among other things, that means that bash is seeing all those embedded blanks and the parentheses in your file names

ln -s real-file symlink file.itself is ./rsync.symlinks/file.itself, but you are trying to link ./file.itself (which presumably doesn't exist) to the real file. Since a symlink is just a pointer, it gets created, but doesn't point to any real file. Try: ln -s rsync.symlinks/file.itself .

Looking at man rsyncd.conf, it appears that there should be no white space between the percent (%) sign and the format specifiers.

I brought this up on the list years ago and was told it's a feature, not a bug. Even if some other GNU or Linux commands have this "feature", it still violates the principle of least surprise. It's also pretty hard to discover because a null argument is literally invisible. Joe On 4/17/19 9:54 AM, just subscribed for rsync-qa from bugzilla via rsync wrote: >

I have a lot of files (and directories) (up to a few hundred at a time) that I get from various sources. Some time after I get them (after they are already backed up), I often have to move them around and normalize their names. When I do this, rsync sees them as unrelated to the copies of these files which are already on the backup destination. When I can't use the --delete option for various

If you are doing a small test run that duplicates the problem, you could use inotifywait or tail -f to watch the log in real time on another terminal. Maybe you'd see something like a line being overwritten, etc. I don't know what rsync would do with a file name that ends in a carriage return (not a newline). It's probably smart enough to handle it, but if it isn't, the current

I'm working on a bash backup script using rsync. (kubuntu precise 12.04, rsync 3.0.9-1ubuntu1) To avoid having a number of slightly different rsync commands, I would like to use shell variables as part of the rsync command. I.e.: DRYRUN="-n" rsync "${DRYRUN}" more parameters ... This does not work if DRYRUN="" - apparently because this command becomes rsync

There have been a lot of posts on the list lately about issues with hard links. It has been very interesting, but I don't understand it very thoroughly. I haven't used hard links for anything yet. I've used symlinks - not for backups, of course - and have seen them get broken or deleted in backups. Is there a tutorial anywhere that will explain how this works (assuming that the
