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 still exist on the source mac...

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 the last seven days, then one we...

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 directories in a Windows 2000 sha...

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

...his machine, but I'd like to replace the daily backups by a disc-based setup. It would be good to be able to share the snapshot-folders with Samba, so our helpdesk can easily do restores. They are not trained in Linux. After doing some research I found three candidates: - Dirvish - Rlbackup - Rsync_snapshots by Mike Rubel The first two seem to be pretty elaborate, but are based on Rsync 2.5.6 and I'm wondering if that's going to give problems with the Rsync 2.5.5 on Netware. Can one safely mix versions? I use only these options: -rtv --delete --modify-windows=2 Also, I was wondering if can st...

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 ideas? TIA

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/

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 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. Example of the command: rsync -e 'ssh -i /backup/data/servers/identities/backup.W2000Server -p 22 -x -oForwardAgent=no -oClearAllForwardings=yes' --archive --delete --backup --numeric-ids --backup-dir=/backup/data/incoming/W2000Server/Daten/ backup@192.168.0.7:"D:/Date...

...king 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 it if this link could get adde...

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/backup.1/test-file (it's an exe...

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.002: FAILED ./amavis/db/__db.0...

...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 your time and advice, -- Jac...
