...|tkessler@ucdavis.edu ------- Comment #2 from tkessler@ucdavis.edu 2008-07-12 12:01 CST ------- This would be an EXCEPTIONALLY useful command/option to have implemented in rsync. I am currently trying to implement a backup system which writes to an available module called "rsyncbackup" on an rsync server. I want this module to be writable via rsync, but have it be read-only through SMB and other file server protocols. I use the following command to invoke rsync: rsync -rtglv --delete --delete-after --delete-excluded --progress --backup --backup-dir=../../backups/$HOSTNAME/...

Hi all, I'm setting up a backup script for my Mac, and I'm wondering about the rsync ability of dealing with HFS+ filesystem (resource-fork and such...). I've searched the mailing list archive for this topic and I've found some thread regarding it, but it's not clear to me what is the actual situation. Is the HFS+ officially supported? Will it be in the near future?

...hy this happens? The scenario: Each night I create LVM snapshot of my volume which contains some virtual disk images (VirtualBox VDIs). Then I rsync the content of one of the snapshot directories to a backup server. Each file size is between 1.3 GB and 6GB. I run the following commmand: sudo -u rsyncbackup rsync -avzP --exclude-from /home/rsyncbackup/excludefile -e ssh "192.168.0.3:/mnt/vdi_snapshot/VDI/mit_backup" "/mnt/crypteddevice/linuxX2/mit_backup" The source directory is part of the LVM snapshot. The destination directory is a truecrypt device which is already mounted....

Hi, This is my rsync command /usr/bin/rsync --compress \ --verbose \ --rsh=ssh \ --times \ --owner \ --group \ --ignore-times \ --links \ --perms \ --recursive \ --size-only \

hi all i'm playing with rsync to make a good incremental backup on Mac OS X and FreeBSD i use this with the --delete-excluded option to get a fresh copy with only modified files but today i ave a new thing: i would like to get a backup folder with all modified files on it, not the full backup, only modified files i'll tried -b --backup-dir but isn't working can any help me

I'm having an issue with the --suffix and -b flags - I've tried the following commands: rsync -avbr --backup-dir=/rsyncbackup rsynctest user@server.com::module rsync -avbr --backup-dir=/rsyncbackup --suffix="" rsynctest user@server.com::module and either way, I wind up with a tilde as a suffix on all the files moved into the backup directory at time of synchronization. According to the man page, if --backu...

...l encoding problem (?). I call rsync with the following parameters: /usr/bin/rsync -a --delete --numeric-ids --delete-excluded \ --rsh="/usr/bin/ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -i \ /etc/rsnapshot_ssh_certs/mykey" \ --link-dest=/data/snapshots/hourly.1/folder/mail/ \ rsyncbackup at server:/var/backups/mail/. \ /data/snapshots/hourly.0/folder/mail/ Where the local destination /data/snapshots is an NFS volume mounted with the flags (rw,noatime,addr=192.168.1.XX) and the source is a symlink to a zfs snapshot - that looks like this: /var/backups/mail -> /tank/...

...ions. I need to preserve the links or the destination size will multiply by a factor of 6 or so... The command I am using on the client is: nice -n 19 rsync -ave "ssh -l ${LOGIN} -p ${PORT}" --links --hard-links --perms --times --owner --group --delete --stats --exclude-from=${RSHOME}/cfg/rsyncbackup.exclude --link-dest=${LINKDEST} / ${LOGIN}@${IPADDRESS}:..${DEST} 2>&1 | gzip -9 > ${LOGNAME} The client and the QNAP are connected on the LAN with 1Gb NIC's on Gb switches. When/if the server's rsync processes die (for an unknown reason at this point), I'd love for the client...

I am looking to do state-full resume of rsync transfers. My network environment is is an unreliable and slow satellite infrastructure, and the files I need to send are approaching 10 gigs in size. In this network environment often times links cannot be maintained for more than a few minutes at a time. In this environment, bandwidth is at a premium, which is why rsync was chosen as ideal for the
