Running ubuntu 10.04 2 main partitions, / and /home, both ext3. 1 external usb hdd, ext3, mounted to /backups/main. once every couple of days, rsync backs up, using following command, everything worth backing up in / and /home partitions to a folder /backups/main/Full. command: "rsync -vrhRupElog

Up until recently, I was running a standard rsync/rsh to rsyncd server combination to sync files. Due to security concerns, I'd like to switch to rsync through ssh. I'm testing with the following from the client side: rsync --verbose --progress --stats --compress --rsh="/usr/local/bin/ssh -p XXXX" \ --recursive --times --perms --copy-links --delete \ /rsynctest/test1

Hi rsync gurus! [Please Cc: me, as I am NOT subscribed to the list!] First the data points: debian/woody, local server=i386 arch, remote is alpha arch rsync version on both debian 2.5.5-0.2 While upgrading our server to a raid we were hit by a bug which I really consider very strange: The option -n/--dry-run does NOT change files, but DELETE files when called with --delete. Test case I had: $

I am puzzled as to why I can't get the option --link-dest to work properly. When I use this option when both source and destinations are on a local filesystem the hard-linking of the target against the link-dest directory does work, but when the source is a remote directory (via ssh or rsync server) hard links are not created. I suspect it has something to do with setting the correct

I was told that my earlier submission of this report contained a user-hostile attachment (courtesy of Outlook), so here it is again, with the log included below. The problem: Files that exist only on the remote system are deleted silently (i.e. not logged), rather than noisily as implied by the recommendation of --dry-run in the rsync man page definition of --delete to see what would be

Hi, We?re migrating to a Cpanel hosting system. Our passwords are currently stored in MD5. I looked at the post login scripting to be able to start storing the plain text passwords as people login temporarily so we can automate our migration. It seems that the password is not available in the post login environment variables. Is there any way we can get access to the plain text password upon

Hi, I've got a MSAccess database on a linux server (fedora core 5, samba 3, 192.168.0.90) which a Win XP client machine needs to use (192.168.0.50). However, Access refuses to open the database because "it's not on the LAN so is a security risk". How can I configure Samba so that Windows recognises 192.168.0.90 as a local machine, please?

Hello, I know this is off topic, but I've come to the conclusion that the only people who can answer my question is other Samba users... I would like to deploy on our network a centrally administered antivirus program. We're running Win98 machines doing NT type logins to Samba running on a RedHat 6.1 box. It seems that as I have researched antivirus programs which can be centrally

Running Ruby 1.8.2 on Mac OS X 10.3.7. I had been working on a small app based on the To Do tutorial and, since I''m just playing around, I installed tonight''s Rails update.

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.

I have found a nasty bug when a file, which is in some of many sources, shall be copied to a target. The linux-Version works well but rsync 2.5.{2|5|6} under solaris9 (gcc 2.95.3) and darwin (gcc 3.1) do not. The decision which file (out of which src) shall be copied depends on the number of src dirs given on the command line. This bug bytes us very hard, because we decided to rely on rsync
