Hi, If anyone has an Idea on how to solve the following problem it would be greatly appreciated :). The scenario is as follows: Im running an rsync server on Redhat7.3.

Hi all, Thank-you to all the developers for rsync. It is very well done. I have rsync running on various platforms connecting to the same server and all is good. Except for 1 Win2000 Prof. server. I backup several directories with various permissions and users successfully. However, there are 2 directories that even though the permissions are the same as other directories that are

We're using rsync 2.6.3 to sync two DELL PowerEdge servers with both Redhat-EL4 and otherwise nearly identical hardware (2.8/3GHz, 1GB RAM each). The source machine has a SCSI-RAID1, the destination a SATA-RAID1 disk attached. There are 5 filesystems which are rsynced via ssh. On the smaller filesystems with ~200.000 files/7GB, rsync takes 1-3 minutes: lion:/atg/ ========= Tue Aug 22

I am doing this to rsync a file: rsync -avz /usr/local/websphere/appserver/hosts/default_host/jsp/servers/includes/file1 .txt backup.domain.com:jspfsp >> /var/log/rsync_backup.log I get these error: @ERROR: chroot failed rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (34 bytes read so far) rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(165) I am rsyncing several folders

I'm doing a recurring copy from one server to another from the crontab in this fashion: rsync -av -e ssh --delete 10.0.1.18:/dir1/ /dir1 --progress &> /var/log/rsync_backup.log However, rsync is creating the dir /dir1/dir1 on the machine running this job instead of updating the /dir1 folder. According to the rsync man page, this is the correct syntax: rsync -avz foo:src/bar/

...ons on the net muddy the issue. Tridge's PHD thesis mentions that people use rsync for replicating their databases to backup servers. i would have thought that that was OK if the DBM was shutdown during the backup...... But some people on the net like this: http://www.sanitarium.net/golug/rsync_backups.html Say: Why/When wouldn't you want to use rsync for backups? Databases: Rsync is a file level backup so it is not suitable for databases. If your primary data is databases then you should look somewhere else. If you have databases but they are not your primary data then there is a procedu...

Hello, I faced a problem with rsync-ing like this server blue 3-HD's as Linux Sofware-RAID 0 (striping) - Webserver EXT3 server green 3-HD's as Linux Sofware-RAID 0 (striping) - Backupserver EXT3 During the rsync-2.4.6-13 process one of the HD's on blue died. Though rsync decided to remove the mirrored directories from green (the backup-server). This process resulted in a partial

Hi, I want to keep the content of some directories on different Linux servers synchronal. I have on every Linux server an account for connecting to via ssh. This account has no root permissions. But some directories require root priviledges. I wand to use rsyncd as a deamon on the target hosts. My Idea was to build a ssh tunnel first and then using rsync via this tunnel. ssh -S -l user
