Well, I followed this link: http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/ and implemented it (with a bit of tweaking) on my home network. It is used to make snapshots of two Windows PC's over samba. On one of the machines (and not the other, from what I can tell) it deletes files from the target machine for no good reason (ie. they...

I read the following hint at: http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/#Incremental mv backup.0 backup.1 rsync -a --delete --link-dest=../backup.1 source_directory/ backup.0/ I simply want to maintain a dated backup of a server so that I could always go back to a certain date. I would like to keep this structure for each day for th...

I'm trying to configure rsync snapshots as described at http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/. I'm essentially using the following commands: mv backup.3 backup.tmp mv backup.2 backup.3 mv backup.1 backup.2 mv backup.0 backup.1 mv backup.tmp backup.0 cp -al backup.1 backup.0 rsync -a --delete source_directory/ backup.0/ I'm trying to backup two dir...

Hi, This is my rsync command /usr/bin/rsync --compress \ --verbose \ --rsh=ssh \ --times \ --owner \ --group \ --ignore-times \ --links \ --perms \ --recursive \ --size-only \

Having snapshot technology is great. Who else supports it? Thanks. Scott

Hello, I'm trying to figure out how to keep a mirror and 7 day incremental backup between to 2 mount points. I want to rsync everything from /mnt/production/ to /mnt/backup/production/ on the same server. Nothing fancy. But , I Want to utilize the --delete option for files that no longer exist on /mnt/production/ that have been on /mnt/backup/production/ for longer then 7 days. I

Hello All, I have been using rsync to backup several filesystems by using Mike Rubel's hard link method (http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/). The problem is, I am backing up a lot of ASCII .log, csv, and .txt files. These files are large and can range anywhere from 1GB to 30GB. I was wondering if on the target side (the backup side), if I can use some sort of compression. I am using ext3 filesystem. Any...

We have about 5 servers spread out throughout the country: 2 Centos 4.4, 1 Red Hat and 2 windows machines- looking for some good ideas for a back-up solution. Our servers hold a lot of data, but only a small portion of it is crucial on any given day. That crucial portion is always changing (for example, this week the crucial files all relate to November- current and previous projects, and the next

Hello, I am trying to rsync folders/files hosted on a Windows machine to a Linux machine. Many of the directory names have spaces in them. How can I list them in a file so that the --include-from option use them correctly? Thanks! Charles -- Charles-E. Nadeau Ph.D http://radio.weblogs.com/0111823/

Hello, I suspect a minor bug in the file rsync-2.5.4/backup.c line 206. To identify too-long pathnames, it makes the following test: if (strlen(backup_dir) + strlen(fname) > (MAXPATHLEN - 1)) I think that the constant subtracted off should be 2, to account both for the forward-slash and for the trailing zero in the following snprintf statement, line 211: snprintf(keep_name, sizeof

Hi, I dont run rsync cron jobs to maintain big archives, I use the system to keep my work and home computer sync-ed. I would like a '-i, --interactive' option to use with --delete, so I can decide wich deletes to up date and which were potential mistakes. For example, my regular backup of my work files (at work) was needed as we lost some data - However this backup didn't delete

Hello, I get hanging rsync-processes while synchronisize windows to linux, starting on linux. The problem is not new, I found some mails in this list (archive) and on http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/#Bugs too.

...I have recently been working on a small little program, RSBackup, that I use to backup my computers to each other. Limiting the concern of a hardware failure causing me to lose any of my bits. Basically it takes the tutorial by Mike Rubel on using rsync to create snapshot based backups, http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/, wraps all of that up in a python program that reads a simple configuration file, performs the backup, and creates a log of the backup that was performed. You can take a look at RSBackup at http://www.nathanbullock.org/nathan/rsbackup/index.html. I would appreciate...

Hello, I'm trying to make incremental backups with rsync (I'm reading http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/ ) But I can't backup a file with old owner when the change on the file is only the owner (content is unchanged). rsync -av -e ssh --link-dest=$PWD/backup.1/ --numeric-ids --delete root@myhost.mydomaine.org:/var/www backup.0 If I look at the owner of $PWD/backu...

Hello list readers, I am doing rsync backups based on Mike Rubels recipe (http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/). I am creating lvm snapshots of partitions whose contents changes fast. In order to verify if evyerthing went ok, I do md5sum checks on all files and everytime some files are failing the test. Here is a list of them: ./amavis/db/__db.001: FAILED ./amavis/db/__db....

...d only nfs mount? I have tried faking or not using optlocks in the shares and of course writable=no. Does it matter that the nfs mounted share is a local nfs export? I was experimenting with rsync snapshot backups to provide 'support yourself' backups to users as described here: http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/ I think this would have been covered/solved somewhere but it seems to be beyond my searching skills. I saw many posts talking about how samba sharing a nfs read only mount should work fine, but no details of the configuration or issues similar to mine. Thank you for...
