I am backing up files from Linux to a NTFS using rsync. I have the NTFS mounted on Linux via CIFS. I am discovering errors while attempting to backup files with restricted NTFS characters, like : [colon]. For example, I am unable to backup my crucial maildirs, as a colon is encoded in each Linux file path. Is there a solution to rsync Linux file paths with restricted NTFS characters, to NTFS?

...//www.kepreon.com/~matt/rpm/ The RPM is called rsync-acl so automatic updating tools will know not to toss it in favor of plain rsync, but it "Provides" rsync so other packages like rsnapshot will be happy. At some point in the future, I will get back to improving the ACL support. Matt McCutchen

Wayne, I noticed that rsync's "*deleting" itemize output needs two trailing spaces now that the other itemize codes are 11 characters wide. See the patch below.

Wayne, How can I access the rsync maintained patches repository with the git tools? These work: $ firefox http://gitweb.samba.org/?p=rsync.git;a=summary $ git clone git://git.samba.org/rsync.git $ firefox http://gitweb.samba.org/?p=rsync.git/patches.git;a=summary So I thought this might work, but it doesn't: $ git clone git://git.samba.org/rsync.git/patches.git Initialized empty Git

Hi all, I'm new to the rsync list. I've been searching for two days and have tried five different installs and so far none work the way I need them to.

I''m running 2.6.6 on a red hat EL3 system. using the following command, rsync -rlptDvzL --stats --include=a/ --include=a/dir/ --include=a/dir/symlink/ --include=a/dir/symlink/dir2/ --include=a/dir/symlink/dir2/dir3/ --exclude=''**'' /export/stuff remote::stuff I expect the "symlink" (which is really a symbolic link to a directory) to be preserved on the

Hi, I need to rsync a very large directory tree (over 50,000 files). This is not a regular job, after the initial rsync is done, I can do a nightly rsync and only a few files will change. Is there anything I need to be aware of before doing this? I started the script this morning, but it was still building the file list after around 15 minutes. Is it better to do it using several

Hi everyone I'm still getting strange sizes on the daemon logs. After transferring around 1.66GB over 14 hours (256kbit link) to an absolutely empty directory, I get: 2007/01/26 04:13:43 [26441] sent 57014 bytes received 44708 bytes total size 1947222268 du reports the final size of the directory on the daemon side as 1.6 G, and the "received" bytes can't be 44708?! I know

hi! i want to use rsync for backup to central storage. from emc networker i know some nice feature - it`s telling about "changed files during save" - i.e. i know which files have changed their contents while being backed up. for example you can see if shutdown of some oracle database was forgotten and that database was backed up online accidentally. what`s the rsync equivalent to

I have a scenario where I am copying from a local system to remote target and need to remove the local source files once they have been successfully transfered. --remove-source-files works fine for this. An issue has come up in that I need to be able to backup the removed local source files as well. With rsync 2.6.9 I tried: rsync --remove-source-files --backup-dir=/archive –abv (source)

Hi, I'm very interested in learning the status of the --ignorecase patch being included in the main tree... is there a reason it still isn't in there? For anyone who is forced to dealing with backing up windows boxes, this is a big problem, and I can't believe that it isn't affecting a lot of people... Or maybe there is a simple workaround? I'm trying to backup files

Hello ! I`m trying to find a way to use lzo compression for the data being transferred by rsync. rsync only supports gzip (or maybe ssh -c, which is also zlib), which gives cpu intensive workload - and this cannot be exchanged by a commandline param like we have with tar (--use-compress-program=....) i like to use lzo because it does much faster compression than gzip. I read the following in

Given two directories "foo" and "fooprime", can I have rsync make a file or directory "d", that contains the differences between these two directories such that I can take d and apply it to foo to get fooprime, or take fooprime and reverse-apply d to it to get foo? I'm not sure that the --backup and --backup-dir options to rsync will give me exactly what I want.

...-H used an O(n^2) algorithm to match up hard links and it would be prohibitively expensive to use this option on a filesystem with about 100,000 files. Is this true? If so, is there or will there be a way to get rsync to take advantage of special situations like my two hard-linked trees? -- Matt McCutchen, ``hashproduct'' hashproduct@verizon.net -- http://mysite.verizon.net/hashproduct/

...ectory; this resolves the "surprise" noted in David Tonhofer's diagram 2. I also made it obey --keep-dirlinks when looking for a destination directory and made various rearrangements.
