Hello guys, sorry for cross-posting, but imho it could be an error in my rsnapshot setup as well as in my rsync setup. If there is a solution on one of these mailing-lists i will post it to the other one as well. ok? here is my question: when running rsnapshot, my exclude filter is being ignored, but i don't see why. grep -v "#" /etc/rsnapshot-debx40.conf | grep ....

...pshot-discuss at listsourceforge.net (subject: wondering why backup wont start), but after reading the FAQ and searching the bugzilla DB i thought it could help to post here as well. i have a problem. But let me first describe my setup. i followed this howto: http://dev.kprod.net/?q=linux-backup-rsnapshot-no-root Now there is a backup server rpi-home and a remote host debx40. On both these computers there is debian jessie (with rsnapshot version 1.3.1) installed, there is a user backupuser and as far as i can see the remote login with password for that user works: backupuser at rpi-home ~ $ ssh de...

I am using rsync/rsnapshot on Windows XP (via cygwin) to backup to a mapped share (/u) on a Linux server. I’m hoping to get this to work so that I don’t have to open an XP share to the network for Linux “pull” backups. My current setup doesn’t seem to give me incremental backups. See the “du” output… $ /usr/bin/du -cs...

Hi I got rsnapshot working, but I am still unclear about a few things. Say I have intervals daily 7 weekly 4 monthly 12 so running "rsnapshot daily" for seven days will create files daily.0, daily.1, daily.2, daily3, daily.4, daily.5, daily.6 If at the end of the week I do "rsnapshot weekly",...

Hey folks, I did some googling on this but did not come up with much. I'm using rsnapshot which uses rsync, and I notice some pretty long pauses in the xfers as you can see on this graph from "munin". THe machine in question right at the moment is doing nothing but rsyncing ( rsnapshoting ) some 12T of NAS storage to local disk, so there is nothing else going on at all. htt...

Hello list. I'm doing nightly syncs over SSH with rsnapshot, and now rsync gives me strange errors, like: rsync: failed to connect to localhost: Connection refused (111) rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(122) [receiver=3.0.3] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- rsnapshot encountered an err...

Slightly OT maybe: at a customer we run the main data share on the samba file server (access defined via Windows ACLs) ... so far no surprise ;-) then we let a 2nd server pull snapshots via rsnapshot (you know: https://rsnapshot.org/) and provide the resulting tree of snapshots via samba again: read-only, only for some admin users So far OK, runs for years (although it gets slower, other topic) Now we notice issues with accessing snapshots, the ACLs don't get synced correctly. I fiddle w...

Hello list. I'm posting here although I'm actually running rsync from within rsnapshot, but the problem is really rsync-related. I've set up remote backups: remote client to backup from is Windows Server 2003 with sshd and rsyncd running, local server is Debian Linux (Lenny) with rsnapshot configured to use an ssh tunnel. My command line is this one: ssh -f administrator@remote...

...mba share using Btrfs, LVM, ZFS, etc. This will give you a read-only > restore point, should clients start misbehaving. > > With Btrfs you could use the Snapper VFS module to expose the read-only > snapshots to clients via the Windows Previous Versions UI. Or, for oldsters like myself, rsnapshot reading from the current filesystem. It's often much, much simpler to implement and lends itself fell to finer tuning and restoration of old content than a filesystem based backup.

...along with other shared parameters), I get the expected behavior. However, when I use '--copy-unsafe-links', rsync no longer properly deletes files that are present in the destination, but not in the source. The usage scenario is rsync (v 3.0.9, stock from Debian Wheezy) getting called by rsnapshot (v 1.3.1, also Wheezy). Rsync source and destination are both on the same host (nothing remote at all in this entire scenario), though they happen to be on different partitions. As typical of rsnapshot, the destination directory for rsync is also hard-linked to other directories (past daily/etc s...

I want to make a full disk image backup of my disk with rsnapshot/rsync that I can restore on a new disk. Part of my /etc/rsnapshot.conf looks like follows: exclude /proc exclude lost+found exclude /media exclude /sys exclude /dev exclude /tmp exclude /dev backup / localhost/ My questions are ... can I use the backup and copy everything fro...

...also larger converted Mac resource forks.) * Back up from different Mac OS X clients (cuurently all on 10.4, but I might upgrade them to 10.5 later) to the server using rsync over ssh. This should hopefully preserve (most of) the Mac-specifif metadata on the server. (Actually I plan to use rsnapshot, but I believe if I have rsync installed in the newest version and possibly tell rsnaphot to use the appropriate rsync options, things will be the same.) Now my question is the following: 1) What would I have to do to ensure the metadata is also restored correctly? I assume I will have to...

I think the answer to this question is Rsnapshot, which is an old and well proven tool: http://rsnapshot.org/. To quote the homepage: > rsnapshot is a filesystem snapshot utility based on rsync. rsnapshot makes it easy to make periodic snapshots of local machines, and remote machines over ssh. The code makes extensive use of hard links whene...

Dear Gluster, I'm running Gluster 3.3 on a four host setup. (Two bricks per host.) I'm attempting to use this as an rsnapshot backup system. Periodically, the rsync's seem to fail, and I think this is due to underlying gluster failures. I notice this in /var/log/messages: # Jul 19 23:47:15 annex1 GlusterFS[26815]: [2012-07-19 23:47:15.424909] C [client-handshake.c:126:rpc_client_ping _timer_expired] 0-gbackups-client...

Hello dear list! Just wanted to tell you that there's a simple and somehow smart backup solution using rsync named ccollect [0]. It uses the hardlink feature of rsync to create fullbackups with only minor size differences (it uesd cp -al and pax before). I would be happy for any critic about the software, the documentation the configuration style (cconfig [1]) and the idea itself. Sincerly

I am using rsnapshot <http://www.rsnapshot.org/> to make snapshots of my filesystem. rsnapshot uses rsync to do all the heavy lifting. I was recently browsing my snapshots and discovered that none of the excluded files or files deleted in the source are getting deleted from the snapshot. rsnapshot calls rsync l...
