Hi, I am trying to mirror a server every night using rsync. I have to backup multiple directories and multiple individual files. I also want to use ssh as transport. The problem is that I cannot get ssh to work without asking password for each step. I tried the public key thing but it doesnt work. Can some one give instructions for a layman like me. Also I want to know how to pass argument to

hello, I'm new with rsync (shame on me ignoring this great tool for many years!) For the following question I could not get an answer from the docs: Is it possible to run rsync in a force mode like `cp -f? for overwriting files without write permission? I need this for a local rsync. What I'm actually doing is to run `find . -type f -perm u-w -exec chmod u+w {} \;? on the destination

Hi, I got stuck within some weird prob concerning my 2-node linux cluster and the synchronisation tool at hand (rsync-2.5.1pre1). I have to copy a structure of 70 directories where the data of these directories are hardlinked to the data of the 1st directory. Within this "orig data" directory, I have about 30.000 files, so the amount of files to sync is approx. 2.100.000. The

Hi there, is it possible to use regular expressions in the exclude-paramter of rsync ? For example: rsync --exclude "/path/to/*/[Ff][Oo][Ll][Dd][Ee][Rr]" I've tried it, but it will take no effect. -- SET THE CONTROLS FOR THE HEART OF THE SUN Jens

Hi * I'm using rsync to mirror software from one Sun Workstation (mecc27) to the other (mecc29). (solaris 5.7) worked perfect... 'til 1 week ago !! Everybody claims nothing has been changed in the configs of the machines (couldn't find anything, though), but rsync is doing nothing at all. just after being called it exits without any error message, warning, whatever.. here the log

I feel completely stupid for asking this question, but I have an essential problem of getting the syntax right for synchronizing multiple files. I am trying to use rsync to synchronize files generated in one directory with our public directory our web server. We have a number of files with the extension html so I have tried the following command line: rsync *.html

I'm interested in the *best* way to set particular permissions on the machine I am rsync'ing content to. These are the specifics of our setup: 1 client pushes to remote 2 remote machine = AIX running rsync daemon as chroot 3 client machine = NT running CYGWIN 4 directory tree on client has many files/directories with many differnt permissions/owners etc. 5 We wish ALL the

Hi, I have a rsync server set up.

Hi, I need to mirror some Linux directories on a Win2000 box but the owner, group and permissions are lost. I realize Win2000 does not use the same system but thought there may be some way around it with cygwin. Is it possible to mimick /etc/passwd to preserve ownership etc? Is there a better solution?

Howdey, I was trying to find out if it is possible to have RSYNC only give me the transfer stats that it normally gives at the end of a transfer when using the -v switch. BUT I do not what to have the long list of files that are accompanied with it. Is there a way to do this? Thank you. Bob. Here is my current rsync script line. /usr/local/lib/rsync/bin/rsync -azR --delete

This is my first post so first of all I will say hello to everyone. I have rsync configured and working properly on my local network however when I try to connect from a remote host (one located in a different state) the connection times out. I was wondering if there was another way to set the timeout besides in the rsyncd.conf file? As I said the connection works fine on the internal lan, but
