I have read the MAN page and the Rsync page and have set up an /etc/rsync.conf but I can't seem to get it working. I have tried starting the daemon and adding the correct entry on the server hosts.allow file, but I just get "Connection refused" from the server. Surely this can't be that difficult, but I am at a bit of a loss. Can anyone help? Regards, Brad

I am transferring some files from a RH7.0 machine to a RH7.2 machine as root with a cron job, using the following: rsync -avt /home homeserver::home rsync -avt /etc homeserver::etc Some of the files transfer OK, but I get: building file list ... done failed to set permissions on home : Operation not permitted home/brad/ home/ftp/bin/ home/ftp/etc/ home/ftp/pub/ home/rsyncuser/ failed to set

I am having some problems getting rsync working. No files get copied, although the server HD light DOES come on for about a second when I run the client rsync command.

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 Folks, I'm running rsync between an NT client and a Solaris 7 Server (Ver 2.4.6). I'd like to be able to exclude the following directory: /opt/IBMHTTPDLOG/archivelogs but retrieve /opt/IBMHTTPDLOG My setup is: rsync -av -p -e rsync@server1.cna.com:/opt/IBMHTTPDLOG/ F:/opt/IBMHTTDLOG (client) rsync --daemon --exclude-from=/etc/rsync.exclude (server) What I get is

Hi, I'm using rsync for a couple of things but I am at a point where I could not find a solution for my problem. this is what I want to do: rsync only the files i_* from a directory from machine A to machine Bi and delete them from machine B if they on longer exist on machine A. so I use the command: rsync -azv --stats -e ssh --delete i_* user@host:/dir/ When using this command the files

I am planning on rsyncing between 3 different computers that all have the same username, but different passwords. Is there a way to specify which user from which host belongs to which password? Or do I have to use different users between the 3 boxes? Thanks for the help, Mike

Hi All, I recently installed Rsync to perform backup features - this includes backing up a /home dir and keeping ownerships/permissions intact is obviously very important.... However when I perform. (current working path is /home) rsync -azv --progress --stats * andrew@192.168.0.2::tmp/home and on the server side of things... I have it setup like so - motd file = /etc/rsyncd.motd

This problem has persisted for as long as I've used rsync. When the --delete option is used, not all files are deleted from the target, even though said files are not present in the source. The particular cases that cause this are when the target has a directory with files, and the source is something else, at least a symlink (this is the case I have seen). I'm taking a guess to say that

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.

Hi, I got the following error synchronising between to servers : 2002/07/04 20:58:39 [68722] transfer interrupted (code 12) at token.c(255) Between other servers rsync is OK without any error. Is it a know bug ? I can't easily upgrade rsync because it's running on a server running 24h/24h 7/7. So before upgrading I need elements to explain the problem which occurs. Thank's for your

Hi, we are using rsync to mirror large trees (>> 50 GB, >> 2 mio files) offsite (rsync -e ssh with forced ssh command on the remote side). The main problem occuring is memory usage (especially as the remote system has no swap space configured for security reasons): It seems that the rsync processes' RSS on both sides increases with the number of files in the tree. Rsyncing the

Are there issues between different versions of rsync? Specifically I have a 2.4.6 on solaris 8 pushing to a 2.3.0 on solaris 2.6 over ssh(F-Secure version). The issue that I am seeing is that when I use the following command: rsync --delete -rlvp -e ssh2 $localdir user@host:remotedir The user and group are different on both boxes(neither being root). Any help would be appreciated. --Jeff
