Hi all, Has anyone got any advice on the best way to backup Exchange mailboxes (Exchange 5.5) running on a Windows 2000 server? We already use rsync on a number of other Windows boxes for general file backup. I've read that even if you get backups of the Exchange mailbox files, then it's really tricky to get the mailboxes back into Exchange if the server dies. Anyone got any tips on

I was wondering if the following is possible, or is planned for rsync. I backup a number of databases with rsync that work very well with the rsync algorithm. Ie, I am backing up a gigabyte+ database over a dial-up speed link and it doesn't take very long, so the daily differences in the files are obviously very small compared to it's total size. I am storing many copies of this database

I manage 250+ redhat linux boxes. The boxes are all setup the same way. On a daily basis, we sync the app directory which is about 30gb out to all hosts. The daily delta is actually less than 1gb, but since I can't be sure if any individual box was tempered during the day, I always do a full sync. On a monthly basis, we run with "--delete" to clean out the stale files on the hosts.

I am using rsync in a situation where the amount of bwlimit I want to use changes depending on the time of day. for example, I start rsync at 2am when no-one else is using the system, so I want it to use 100k/sec. At 9am, it is still running, but as the bandwidth of the link it's using now needs to be shared with other users, I would like rsync to only use 10k/sec. Any way of doing this

Hi, Hopefully this isn't duplicating info. If so, sorry for the noise. I tried searching through old posts to this list about this issue, but couldn't find anything that worked. Below is a script I have put together that lets you rsync from a Windows 2003 shadow copy without having to copy files out of it first. You can link the shadow copy to either a drive letter or to a folder. You

Hi, I have a particular directory in my exclude list, but I want it excluded from --delete-excluded. Is this possible. or maybe if I explain what I'm trying to do, someone will come up with a more suitable way. I am using rsync (2.6.6) to backup data from a Windows Server (cygwin) to an OpenBSD box. rsync -rtvz --delete-excluded --del --timeout=3600 -e "ssh -i c:\cygwin\ssh-key"

Hi, I'm running samba-3.0.5 on OpenBSD 3.5. I'm trying out using samba as a print server for the first time, and it works ok, but I have this problem where everytime I print anything, a additional blank page comes out of the printer at the end of what was just printed. It's an old HP Laserjet 4 connected to the parallel port of the samba server. /etc/printcap lp|HP4|HP Laserjet
