gzip-rsyncable.diff
Hi,
I currently create large (500MB-2.5GB) tar.gz files that I am trying to
get to rsync better. After doing some research by reading a lecture
presented by the original author of rsync and googling the list
archives, I have concluded that the gzip-rsyncable.diff is the best way
to get gzipped files to rsync nicely. The only version I could find of
this patch is available here:

Patch for rsyncable zlib with new rolling checksum
Hi all-
My test results so far indicate a pretty decent improvement in overall rsync performance when using a slightly more sophisticated checksum calculation.
The attached patch has the required changes (in hindsight, I should have compressed this using zlib with the new algorithm :-) ).
Some things to know about the patch:
First, it is against the zlib library - NOT the gzip application.

How to make big MySQL database more diffable/rsyncable? (aka rsyncing big files)
Hello group,
I'm having a very hard time rsyncing efficiently a MySQL database which
contains very large binary blobs.
(Actually, it's the database of Mantis bug tracker
[http://www.mantisbt.org/], with file attachments stored directly in the
table rows. I know it's a bad idea from many other reasons, but let's
say it was given to me as such.)

file compression on target side
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

rsync huge tar files
Hi folks,
Are there any tricks known to let rsync operate on huge tar
files?
I've got a local tar file (e.g. 2GByte uncompressed) that is
rebuilt each night (with just some tiny changes, of course),
and I would like to update the remote copies of this file
without extracting the tar files into temporary directories.
Any ideas?
Regards

--inplace option seems sending whole file
Hi
I'm having issues sendig a lot of tar.gz backup files to a ZFS remote
filesystem server.
This files are compressed with the --rsyncable option.
Sending without --inplace option rsync works well and send only the
differences, but to create a temporary file and rewrite the file
destination, zfs snapshots contain the full size of the backup, not
only differences block.

PST Rsync Issues
Hi All,
I have a 1.8GB PST file that is backed up every night from a cygwin install)
and every night rsync transfers about 1.8GB of data for that file. It
changes a bit, but for all intents and purposes the entire file is
transferred. There are other files on this system that rsync more typically,
so I'm fairly certain this isn't a switch or command error on the calling
end. I have also

compressed archives
Suppose I have a particular version of a largish compressed archive,
most likely a .tgz or .tbz2, and that a remote machine has a newer,
and only slightly different, version of the same archive, where most
of the content hasn't actually changed much. I might attempt to obtain
a copy of the newer archive by first copying my local older copy to
the newer name as a file to update from.

GZIP, ZIP, ISO, RPM files and rsync, tar, cpio
I noticed with rsync and compressed files or package files the transfer
efficiency drops considerably. Eg. rsync an ISO image of a distribution
will give you between 30% and 60% of the original transfer although from
Beta1-Beta2 the change could not have been that great. The same thing
happens with ZIP files for obvious reasons.
My question or feature request if you want to call it is. Is it

compression and encryption
Hello folks!
I've been thinking about adding the capability to store files compressed
and/or encrypted on either side of the rsync transfer. Let's say there's
a storage space provider. I want to store my files on that server
compressed (so I don't use more paid space than I need), and encrypted
(so they can't read my data).
I don't know much about encryption, but I

rsyncing from a compressed tarball.
Mike,
As it stands right now, we use xz for our compression, so if rsync had
a similar option for xz that would probably be an improvement.
However, I think being able to decompress directly to the remote
system would save more; elsewise I don't see how I'm going to be able
to avoid untarring and uncompressing the whole xz file on the other
end.
thanks much,

Rsync friendly zlib/gzip compression - revisited
Hi, all -
I've been digging into the question of using rsync to sync up compressed data, and read with interest the conversations regarding the rsync friendly patch available for gzip (I belive Rusty provided this patch). For anyone interested, the message thread is archived at http://lists.samba.org/archive/rsync/2002-June/thread.html. The broad outline of this approach were mentioned in

rsync *Still* Copying All Files?
Hi, all. This is my first post to the list, so please forgive me if this is
an old issue. I scoured the mailing list archives by hand and could find no
mention of it, and the official FAQ-o-matic mentions it, but doesn't offer a
fix that works for me.
I've set up an rsync daemon on Windows NT4 by installing the latest cygwin.
Using the cygwin1.dll and rsync.exe, I'm able to connect

Trying to diagnose incomplete file transfer
At $work I have an odd situation involving incomplete file transfers,
but I am unsure where the issue may be occurring. Here is the scenario.
Problem:
Sometimes the file transfer seems to have completed, but the file size
does not match that on the remote system.
Details:
I transfer a number of large (>1GB) Tar-Gzipped (.tgz) files via SSH

rsync backup performance question
Dear all,
I am implementing a backup system, where thousands of postgreSQL
databases (max 1 Gb in size) on as much clients need to be backed
up nightly across ISDN lines.
Because of the limited bandwidth, rsync is the prime candidate of
course.
Potential problems I see are server load (I/O and CPU), and filesystem
limits.
Does anyone have experience with such setups?
