Hello everyone I am trying to do incremental backups using rsync and SSH. I have a windows server with two shares on it that I want to sync remotely to another machine.

Using sudo and rsync to perform migrations of source from test to prod When the rsync 'source' 'target' are both on the local server the owner:group is maintained from the source When the copy is 'source' local 'target' remote the owner:group changes to the value specified by uid:gid in the rsyncd.conf I want the 'target' to always change to uid:gid

The manual says rsync can be used as an improved cp command. If S1 and S2 are (local) source files or directories and T is an (local) existing directory, is it safe to think that $ rsync -r S1 S2 T does the same thing as $ cp -r S1 S2 T , assuming no trailing slashes in S1, S2? -- View this message in context:

Dear List, I set up a NetBackup destination on my server. And I backup test1 to NetBackup/test1, test2 to NetBackup/test2. Now I wanna know how many folders that have been backuped. It should be 2 folders, with the name of test1 and test2. But I don't know if there is any way to do so? Any advice and help is well appreciated. Thanks. -- Daniel Li

Madison, That sounds like a really nice backup program. I'd like to try your Beta out if I could. I've use rsync regularly and it would be great to have a front end. Thanks. Thom

I know this subject has been covered a fair bit here but I'm getting confused with the vast array of possible options I've seen in various cmdlines posted here, and the vast (and sometimes confusing) rsync manual. Can someone show me the simplest case to allow rsync to push data from a windows XP or vista machine onto an opensolaris host using rsync on cygwin? What options are commonly

Hello everybody, I am discovering rsync and I have a problem about preserving ownership and permissions. I want to mirror a web tree with rsync over ssh. I set up a module on my rsync server and on the rsync client, I use the options -o and -p in order to preserve ownership et permissions. The file are transffered via rsync but on the rsync server the files are owned by the user used to connect

Hi all, I have a perl-based program that creates lists of files to copy from A to B using rsync. The program can be told, when there is more than one copy list, to call rsync however many times simultaneously. This all works just fine to a point. The problem is that even though (in my test) two rsync processes have been called (check with 'ps ax | grep rsync') and in the end

I am trying to get two servers to copy each others data to the other server. I need it to be done real time a not use a cron. Can rsync running as a daemon monitor the files system to trigger a transmission? If so how do I configure it? I am running Solaris 9. Thank you. ______________________ Charles Berman Senior Unix Administrator "Think Globally" The contents of this email

Wayne, Hello, I saw a post of yours out on samba.org and was wondering if you might be able to shed a little light on a problem I'm having with rsync. My rsync source files are all off of nfs mounts and the destination directories are all nfs mounts. The owner and groups all end up as nobody/nobody on the destination, despite being all sorts of owners and groups on the source. Have you

Hi all! I recently had a problem with a shared excel file which was rsynced from the file- to the backupserver. The backups of this file went wrong and I can't figure out why. The whole rsync and dump to tapes works like charm for a few month now. The situation was as followed. That xls lived (and was backuped) happily for 5 days. Then the users startet to share this file among 4 or 5 people.

Hello, We are experiencing flaky behavior from rsync when attempting to rsync directories/files to a server in Penang. Several times the job seems to 'hang' and never completes. Penang then is therefore missing a lot of required cad files. Have any of you experienced the same thing and what did you do to fix the problem? Does anyone know of a better tool to use? We chose

Hi everyone (oh yeah, and I am new to the list but have a little Samba experience). I have a Samba 3.0.1 install on a Fedora Core 1 (.2138 kernel non-smp - not that it should matter for this). I have created a group called "osla" for the users in my domain and I have Samba working properly as a PDC, or at least properly in so far as I can join clients to the server, run scripts and

Hi there Is there a commercial license for using Rsync or the Rsync algorithm within a commercial product? I appreciate that Rsync as it stands is GNU and therefore it cannot be used in this way, but I thought that I would ask the list. I understand that it is open source, but we have an application that would benefit from something like Rsync and therefore thought we would ask the question. If

for example's sake: With traditional backup systems, you keep a base (full backup, let's say every 30 days), then build incrementals on top of that, eg. (what has changed since the base). So, to restore, you copy over your base, then copy each incremental over the base to rebuild up to the latest snapshot. (*copying new incrementals files over older base files*) With rsync, (using

We have nearly 200 GB of data in a production Oracle database broken up into about 100 files of 2 GB. The database incurrs a 5% change per week in the form of new data, no modification nor deletions. I need to copy this data from one mount point to another then bring up the new database on the new mount point in place of the original. The high availability and production nature of this system

Hi all, I have a problem where when I try to write to a 'vfat' partition (in Fedora Core 3, rsync 2.6.3) I get this error: -=-=-[ error ]-=-=- rsync: mkdir "/mnt/tle-bu/src0/tle-bu/231e2838-93b0-4f6f-8b8b-f09e24e1ed80" failed: No such file or directory (2) rsync error: error in file IO (code 11) at main.c(381) rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (8 bytes received so

Hi all, I'm having problems with an rsync via ssh process hanging during transfer. The basic problem, (gory details to follow): I've set up a machine on my LAN to act as the receiver and have two (soon to be more) remote servers transferring files via a script. It seems as if certain files are causing the transfer to hang. These are different files on each of the sending machines,

Hi there I am new to rsync so be gentle Ok i install cwRsync and i used the script that came with it but just added my filename and remote computer. right now it says rsync -r -delete /c/backup/ 192.168.1.152::/c/backup i also tried it with rsync -r -delete /cygdrive/c/backup/ 192.168.1.152::/c/backup and rsync -r -delete /cygdrive/c/backup/ 192.168.1.152::/cygdrive/c/backup the error
