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.

is there anything special to do this from the daemon server. I've setup the /etc/rsyncd.conf with some filesystems and I would rather originate (control) my rsyncs from this server and not from the hosts that have the data I want. ie. I want to pull not push. for instance my rsyncd.conf [www] comment = www path = /snaps/www numeric ids = true log file = /snaps/rsync/logs/www.log pid file

Hi All, I am aware that rsync can be run to just list the files that have changed between the source and destination. I would like to capitalize on that feature to monitor some development that is going on in order to get a complete list of files that have been changed on a server.

I would like rsync to copy over the files which have been modified on the server1 to server2. This is

Normally I would use the --link-dest option to do this but I can't since I'm rsyncing from a Mac to a Samba share on a Linux box and hard links don't work. What I want to do is create a 10 day rotating incremental backup. I used the first script example on the rsync examples page as a template. The only thing I changed was the destination to be a local directory and paths for
