I have been trying to implement Mike's tutorial on backup with rsync, but my server has kept crashing in the middle of the rsync transfer. I am backing up /dev/hda1 to /dev/hdc1 on a SuSe v 7.3 i386 box Server crashed 8 times. 16 fsck and 8 reboots later I finally got an error message and a graceful exit from rsync. Somewhere in the middle of the crashes I compiled and installed the

Hello, I'm facing a problem syncing files which is over 2GB size, eventhough i searched the archives and it been mentioned its possible if largefiles option is enabled, but still its giving me problems. i.e: building file list ... readlink dir1/oracle_data1.tar: Value too large for defined data type readlink dir1/oracle_data2.tar: Value too large for defined data type readlink

Rsync Ver: 2.5.5 OS: HPUX-11 Hello List, I'm using rsync with ssh with this command line: rsync -avz -e ssh some_file user-b@hostname-b:/home/user-b Which does work, however I get the following error output: rsync error: protocol incompatibility (code 2) at main.c(578) Since the file does transfer, is the error output just some sort of bug? I looked in the maillist archives, and I found

Hi, I would like to log whatever happens with rsync on client side when it runs with Cygwin on NT4. First, I just did a redirect of the screen output to a log-file: rsync -rtv --delete --modify-window=2 --stats /cygdrive/g/users/bco/test/ bee2bs01::d/test/ >>c:\rsync\log\%FDATE%.log The problem with this method is that it does not redirect whatever Rsync reports as errors; because they

Is there anyway to keep rsync from reporting an error when attempting to sync pagefile.sys (through a samba share)? It seems like any type of exclusion of the file gets ignored, why is that? Anyway around it? Also, of experimented with the exclude-from syntax quite a bit and haven't figure out how you could just backup all .doc files on a file system and exclude everything else. Thanks - Max

Does rsync has directory name length limit? I was trying to rsync a directory that has the name length of 34 characters and getting permission denied error. $ rsync -avz --delete --force -e ssh /usr/local/apache/htdocs 192.168.0.2:/usr/local/apache building file list ... readlink htdocs/CorporateLegalTimesEDITORIAL_files/cBug_blueXs.gif: Permission denied readlink

Hi, I have set up daily backup using rsync to collect the data and afterwards I use afio to write the data to tape. I do: $RSYNC -avbu --backup-dir=$PART/$HOST/old -e ssh --exclude-from $EXCLUDE root@$HOST:/ $PART/$HOST > $LOG/$HOST-$DATE.log to sync files. Since the tape capacity is limited I exclued the /$PART/$HOST/old dirs, form the afio call. These are backuped separately on weekly

Yes, I've read the FAQ, just hoping for a boon... I'm in the process of relocating a large amount of data from one nfs server to another (Network Appliance filers). The process I've been using is to nfs mount both source and destination to a server (solaris8) and simply use rsync -a /source/ /dest . It works great except for the few that have > 10 million files. On these I get

Dear Friends, I've seen this come up on the list in the past, most particularly here. http://groups.google.com/groups?q=rsync+include-from+cat&hl=en&lr=&ie=UT F-8&oe=UTF-8&selm=b2h7t8%2422nt%241%40FreeBSD.csie.NCTU.edu.tw&rnum=2 I find myself in a very similar position. Ideally I'd have a single file, as follows: + /www - /www/bigstuff + /home - /home/tempuser

Here is the structure of my servers : Source : /home/test1/link_dir sub_dir1 file1 file2 ... sub_dir2 ... Destination: /home/test2/real_dir sub_dir1 file1 file2 ... subdir2

I have found several instances where rsync refuses to copy a new file. I am using it to sync changes from a staging web server to production servers, and there are certain files that it just plain won't copy. The file is totally new. No such name has ever existed on the target server(, or on the source server until now). In this instance, I added 3 completely new files to the same

I am using rsync 2.5.5 running as a daemon on the destination system, which is SuSE Linux 8.0. The source system is SuSE 7.3, also with rsync 2.5.5. With the default 'use chroot = true' and not using --numeric-ids, I get the wrong user names on the destination files. I have tracked this down to getpwnam() failing to return the user name from the passwd file. It does not fail when

Command like this: rsync -rxlupogtSvve ssh $src_host:"/home/wss_disk/calendar.data/'Conference Calls'" $targ_dir works fine with blanks embeded in the file name. When I try to script it like this: COM='`find '$src_dir' -mtime -'$days' -type f `' rsync -rxlupogtSvve ssh $src_host:"$COM" $targ_dir works fine on regular filenames,

Howdy, I am just starting to use rsync and now have an rsync server set up to back up our various machines. I recently started getting an error that is confusing and I can't find info documented on it. I searched the news group and found it mentioned but no solution yet. I get the error when sync'ing from a Solaris 8 machine to my Solaris 8 server. stat

Hi all, I want to copy files from a remote server to a local directory with ssh. I've some difficulties with that because on the Remoteserver I have a directory "/www/ftp" with a lot of subdirectories with each of them 4 other subdirectories. I want to sync only */data/* to the local machine without */images/* or */doc/* or */movies/* Any solution would be appreciated. regardsMac

Hi, I am exploring extending Kyle Jones' patch (which implements post-transfer filter in receiver.c) to pre-filter or otherwise pre-process the file before it is sent. Kyle Jones patch can be found here <http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&selm=b6f55s%24256q%241%40FreeBSD.csie.NCTU.edu.tw&rnum=6> and the rationale for what I am trying to do here

I was startled to find that the --csum-length option is not implemented even though it is documented in the manpage. Not a good thing. Here's a patch that removes the manpage entry. I'd much rather not see this option and actually have the csum_length be per-file dynamic. Either way this patch should be applied at least until the code changes. The patch also brings rsync.1 and
