Hi all, Allow me to quickly sketch our backup situation: we have about 40 sites. On each site there's a Rsync client on an NT machine (Cygwin). In the main site we have a huge Win2K fileserver which acts as a Rsync server. I'm doing tests now with syncing the volumes of several Netware servers on the sites (to which the Rsync NT clients have a mapping) to the Win2K server. Initially we

Hi, just a small warning about something that has, like we experienced just last weekend, great consequences. We rsync more than 20 Netware servers through a mapping on an NT machine to central Rsync destination servers (also NT). Last weekend our clock changed to Daylight Savings Time. It appears that NT changes the file stamps on NTFS volumes accordingly (Q129574 on their suppor site). This

Dear all, I would like to propose rysnc feature to our customer. Do you have any reference case from other company that there is using rsync in the production server? regards, Simon _________________________________________________________ §ÚªºÅº¶Æ(®e¯ª¨à)¡A¥ª¾F¥k¨½(§õ§J¶Ô)¡A§A³Ì¬õ(Twins)... ¹L¤d­º¤â¾÷¹aÁn ÂIRing³£±o http://ringtone.yahoo.com.hk

Is it possible to make a complete image (or clone) of your hard drive (FAT or NTFS) using rsync? Is it possible to make incremental backups of the image (without having to duplicate the source files)? When restored to a new hard drive it should be bootable again and should be an exact copy or clone of the original hard drive(i.e. the program should firstly copy the system file information

Hi Some of our smaller Central London clients (5 to 25 terminals), who use the NetWare & GroupWise software from Novell Small Business Suite 6, are becoming increasingly concerned about the possibility of their offices becoming inaccessible for a prolonged period in the event of a terrorist attack. We've been asked to provide a low cost solution consisting of replicated offsite servers to

Howdy... I have been doing some reading of the rsync technical report, rsync man page, and the rsync web site, and I have learned allot, but having a high IQ does help. I have read the rsync, and rsyncd.conf man pages in regards to the switches, settings, etc., and summized that rsync is specifically designed for copying files between Unix kernel systems, regardless of flavor, platform, or

Hi, I have setup a cron job to rsync files between two servers every hour. 30 * * * * rsync -avz --delete rsyncsrv1::ftp/ /export/ftp/ This works fine most of the time, but if I have a very large file that needs to be transfered ( many tens of MBs), I run into a problem. Since the link between my two servers is slow, it can take more than an hour to complete the rsync transfer. So at the

Hi, We use rsync on NT (server and client) and we get errors on filenames with a path that has in total more than 256 characters. This seems to be caused by a limit in rsync, not in NT. Is there a way to break this limit withuo having to manually shorten all this filenames? Thx already!

I have a rsync server set up on a win2k server and a win xp pro computer is my client. It's working very well doing the anonymous transfers. However, I've tried setting up a password file and not having any success. rsyncd.conf on my server: use chroot = false strict modes = false hosts allow = * [serverbu] auth users = user path = c:/serverbu read only = no list = no secrets file =

Hello! I want to start rsync on w2k as service. If I try to start rsync from command line it simply do nothig: $ rsync --daemon Administrator@dm-w2ks /usr/bin $ ps PID PPID PGID WINPID TTY UID STIME COMMAND 480 1 480 480 con 500 04:15:03 /usr/bin/bash 1428 480 1428 1420 con 500 05:26:46 /usr/bin/ps Administrator@dm-w2ks

Howdy... I have searched the archives, and even read what has been posted on the site regarding a Win32 port of rsync. Though I have found a problem with everything. The URLs for building your own, or downloading the compiled binaries for the Win32 platform are no longer valid. Therein the problem lies, as the information is outdated, and still easily available on the site publicly. I

Hi all, we're suffering heavily from the "connection reset by peer" problem when running Rsync on WinNT. Great was our relief when seeing Randy's message in http://www.mail-archive.com/rsync@lists.samba.org/msg01918.html I immediately installed the full Cygwin to recompile Rsync, but since I'm far from a C guru, I'm a bit puzzled with the last 2 lines in Randy's

I need to distribute rsync (useable for both client and --daemon) on Win32. Distributing cygwin1.dll is, well you know, a bad idea. I took a shot at building under MingW but ran into an ugly looking error: > checking for socklen_t... no > checking for socklen_t equivalent... configure: error: Cannot find a > type to use in place of socklen_t I will pay $50 for a MingW build of latest

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

Hullo, all. I diligently consulted the suggested reading on the way in: > Welcome to the rsync@lists.samba.org mailing list! PLEASE READ THIS > IMPORTANT ETIQUETTE MESSAGE BEFORE POSTING: > http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html 'Twas a quick read, given that I'm the co-author. ;-> I recently received an odd inquiry from someone I didn't know at all,

That's actually a very good suggestion. First I figured that in this way files changed within the hour after creation would be ignored, but they probably represent a very small minority anyway. On the other hand, this does not really rectify the situation, but will allow us to postpone the real sync again until, let's say a holiday, where we have plenty of time to sync. Rgds, Bart

Hi all, this is a small problem I encounter while using rsync on NT (client and server). Whenever I need to restore files and folders from tape back to the destination server (for instance when changing hardware), Windows NT behaves in such a way that the modified times of the files are respected, but folders receive a modified time of the moment that they are recreated. This presents quite a

Hi all, I have installed rsync 2.5.5 as daemons on our 35 Netware servers (no 2.5.6 is yet available for Netware) and do a daily sync from a Linux Rsync client machine with 1.2 TB disk capacity. For the moment we do a daily, weekly and monthly backup on tape of this machine, but I'd like to replace the daily backups by a disc-based setup. It would be good to be able to share the

Hi, we had the same problems last year and we use NTFS. Luckely we switched to Linux this year.

Hi all, I'm currently testing the Novell Netware version of Rsync 2.5.5. I use a RH 80 linux client, the Novell server runs the daemon. The Novell server has 850 (=latin1 ?) as codepage and users sometimes create filenames with "odd" (international) characters in them. These appear to be converted into other characters or question marks by rsync, or are simply left out. I've
