Hi all. (I am sending this querry here because it is somehow relating to rsync. If i am wrong please pardon me.) I am doing following on these windowsXP and Vista. I am trying to get only incremental backup using "rdiff-backup" (that also uses rsync). I have installed gcc compiler and by following the steps given in http://katastrophos.net/andre/blog/2005/11/02/rdiff-backup-on-windows/ web link. I have installed rdiff-backup. But now I am not able to execute the commands for backup. Each time I face error....

I'm rsync'ing an rdiff-backup repository to a different machine and I have a few questions I'm hoping you guys can help me out with. Should I use --archive? Or maybe -rlD instead? Can I restrict an SSH key to rsync? I can do it with rdiff-backup with command="rdiff-backup --server" but I can't figur...

Is there any chance for rdiff ? I need to frequently synchronize big text file (60MB+) undertaking small changes and I am interested in differences between the subsequent versions [DNS RBL data in dnsbl format, 1E6+ lines of text, new version every 20m, on average 50 new entries (lines) in every synchronization] I would li...

hi everyone a good basher around here? I try in a script: _rdiffBack="rdiff-backup -v5 --tempdir /tmp/ --no-eas --exclude-other-filesystems --exclude-symbolic-links" _rdffiExclude="--exclude '**/~*' --exclude '**.tmp' --exclude-regexp '(.glusterfs|.trashcan|temp)'" _execCom=${!2} _sourceDir=${1} _backupTo=${3} __bac...

Hi, i am new to rsync and i want to use rsync to emulate rdiff behaviour (because i can't install rdiff on the system). What i would like rsync to do is to generate a diff file (like with rsync --write-batch) but WITHOUT changing the destination file. This would allow me to store daily differential updates on the target (i think hardlinking would not help...

...tings, I've been looking through archives, googling, and reading through man pages to no avail for some time now. I believe I need some combination of rsync -u (update) and rsync --del, and I'm not quite sure how to get it. I'm looking to build a rough implementation of a multi-client rdiff-backup system; in order to do this I'm using rsync before rdiff-backup. (We'll say there's a server, Client A, and Client B. Files should be synced between A and B but the server should keep a master list of all differences and changes made in any file, by any client in the directory I...

After the recent yum update to rdiff-backup-1.2.2-1.el5.rf rdiff-backup no longer works. I don't "speak" python so not sure what's going on. Here's a portion of what I'm seeing... # rdiff-backup /etc/ /backup/localhost/etc Exception '[Errno 34] Numerical result out of range' raised of class '...

I do not know if this has been reported already (I searched the headers of the recent messages to r-devel) It seems that 'example' in R 2.11.0 has a problem when the help file does not contain any example. This is what happens on R 2.11.0 on Windows XP. > library(tools) > example(Rdiff) Error in file(con, "r") : cannot open the connection In addition: Warning message: In file(con, "r") : cannot open file 'C:\DOCUME~1\neuwirth\LOCALS~1\Temp\RtmpmknOJe\Rex678418be': No such file or directory The error does not occur when there is an example marked #No...

our daily backup is done using the rdiff-backup tool, which in turn utilizes rsync/librsync to do the actual mirroring work. a few days ago we did a refactoring and renamed a bunch of directories. for backward compatibility we maintain the old names by symlinking it to the new names. so, for example, oldname1/ now becomes newname1/, a...

...to another over internet. I was looking to NFS4, but there are no security mechanisms. I need encrypted connection using private key (something like SFTP). Or - if there is in CentOS repo (or EPEL) package, that can mount directory over internet using private key and make differential backup (like rdiff-backup). Thank you very much for links or other resources work up Martin ??astn?

I'm still pretty new to running a mail server, but one thing I've come to appreciate over the years is a good backup strategy. Since I have always run my own servers for practice and for personal use I don't have access to Enterprise backup solutions. Because of that I usually just fall back to scripts and tarballs and offload the content on a regular basis. Right now I'm

...trying to backup.. it seems to work great!. I even saved the original so I could apply patches and then file compare just to be extra paranoid.. seems great.. I've included those errors in this mail if anybody cares.. (probably not ;) ).. Thank you so much. Are there any file size limits with rdiff.exe in win/dos? I remember there being a 2 gig limit I read somewhere.. is that still true? Here's the warnings in Visual studio .net rdiff warning LNK4075: ignoring '/EDITANDCONTINUE' due to '/INCREMENTAL:NO' specification c:\Work\Librsync\librsync-0.9.6\trace.c(172): warning...

What's the best way to do long-term backups of the Maildir format these days? Traditionally we've just done a rdiff-backup or pointed Bacula at the Maildir. Both give us the option to reset a particular mailbox back to a previous day (any day within the last N months). Do we just need to snapshot the LVM volume that holds all the Maildir boxes, or is there some additional commands that we should run before...

Hi, I am thinking about a non-standard usage of rsync (at least not mentioned in the man file) I want to synchronized my collegues home directories(trees) each night AND store rsync's internal updating commands (reversed) to be able to restore the state of a directory the day before. This would require - saving the internal updating commands in a separate directory - reversing these commands

Hi all, I'm trying a java implementation of rsync for "fun and profits" ;-) helped by librsync 0.9.7 and jarsync (a died java implementation) So i started to implement rdiff command and for now i have a working signature command. With first test, i had the same signature file of testsuite/mksum.input/COPYING.sig but when i try with another dummy file, for each checksum pair : - each weak sum is different but just byte 1 and 3 - each strong sum is identica...

I wonder why nobody has yet mentioned rdiff-backup. It combines browsable directories with multiple versions - the version data is stored in a separate rdiff-backup-data subdirectory (one per backup task). One downside is that rdiff-backup causes a lot of network traffic. For that reason I currently use rsync to copy over network, and th...

I have been really lax in supporting librsync for the last few months, because of a new job and taking over maintenance of rsync

...on for which it has been written. The contents of the *.rsync_csums files seem to be always 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 5 ... instead of the real checksums. I think that the batch mode would be more useful (at least for the incremental backup) if it worked like rdiff: an option to save checksum, one to calculate and save the deltas using the previous saved checksums and the current files and one third option to read the delta files and update the old files. As regards the incremental backup program I would like to write, I don't know if it is worth modifyi...
