I'm running FreeBSD 4.6.2 on two different machines. Both machines have rync installed by way of the ports library, but one of them is running it as a server. I followed the directions in the man pages for running the server using inetd. Here is what happens: rsync rsync://myusername@10.0.0.8/ rsync: server sent "rysnc version 2.5.5 protocol version 26" rather than

Hello, I'm quite new to rsync, and after reading and checking some examples I still have a question regarding synchronization: What arguments should I use if I want to synchronize two folders? I need to make sure that after synchronization, contents on each side are the same. If I have new files in folder #2, these aren't copied to folder #1 after the process. It only passes files

Your users have rsh access to the machine, and are getting wherever they want, using the server:/path syntax. if they were using the server::module syntax, they would be restricted to only what's provided by the modules. If you don't want them getting everything all over the system, you will need to prevent shell access. Tim Conway conway.tim@sphlihp.com reorder name and reverse

Hi all. I have a script which I call from cron. It basically does some stopping of a few services, rsyncs all files to a remote server and then starts the services again. However, rsync segfaults: /share/bin/cron.root.backup.sh: line 28: 18453 Segmentation fault rsync -acx --delete ${_backup_dirs} backup-server::backup-client If I run rsync from the command-line everything works as

Hi All, I had a look in archives but no joy. I just want to know before i deploy - if there is any problem with having multiple rsync sessions from many source locations all to same destination server ( all copying to different file systems obviously ) ?? Its jusat that i see on the destination machine a process rsync -server being called whenever a client connects. Thanks ! Laurence

Can anyone help me with rsync. I'm trying to set up rsync on a windows nt 4.0 box so i can do off site backup with linux.

I'm running rsync version 2.5.4 protocol version 26 on redhat 7.3. My rsync command is this: rsync -vvplpotrRn --progress --password-file=/root/rsync_password /*.* root@192.168.0.254::/home2/600xbackup I get this error when I run it: ERROR: The remote path must start with a module name not a / rsync error: error starting client-server protocol (code 5) at main.c(885) I want to backup my

I am using rsync between to Solaris machines. One has rsync under the /usr/local/bin/rsync location and the other under /opt/rsync. Is there a way for me to issue the rsync command from the "source" machine and tell it as part of the command where rsync is on the target? If not, does this mean that in order to perform the sync between two systems that I need to have a 1:1 relationship

Hi, Can anyone send me an example config file that makes use of ignore nonreadable timeout 600 When I try to put this in a module - rsync seems happy but it gets nasty logfile messages when a client connects to the server.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I wish to use rsync to synchronize a whole fat32 (MSWindows) partition mounted into a linux system. I run rsync from linux. The problem is rsync synchronizes most of the data even if the data hasn't changed since the original image was made. I used the -avz parameters to do the backup and the same for restoration. Also I've tried just -rvz. It

Hello, is there any way to use rsync for two-way-syncronisation? I want to use it to keep the data on two hosts consistent. Sometimes one of this hosts (sometimes the first, sometimes the second) changes its location. If the two hosts are at the same location I want automatically rsync them. The data only changes at one hosts but it is not defined on which host it changes. For example: I have

I am evaluating rsync for the mirroring of a website and associated database. To exercise it and establish the correct run string I need I am running tests LOCALLY between two test directories. I have a /scratch/temp/Departure and a /scratch/temp/Arrival trees. I apply changes to the Departure tree, run rsync, and do a diff -r. Now I delete a file in Departure rm Departure/Quattro/uno.file

Hi, I know those questions have been asked before but that was more than an year ago. I'm hoping the situation has evolved now. I'd like to use rsync as a backup tool to move around some data. I often have to move hundreds of GB, and that takes some time. I'd like to use rsync so that if something happens, I can restart the migration without loosing what has already been

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

Good evening I use d as follows. (It is every 5 minutes from Cron) #!/bin/sh LOCK=/tmp/lock.pid if [ ! -e $LOCK ]; then echo 1 > $LOCK rsync -ave ssh --delete /export/mirror user@hostB:/export rsync -ave ssh --delete user@hostB:/export/ /export/mirror/ rm > $LOCK fi However, now, it is. It will be deleted even when a file is created on both sides. Should the script

I felt certain there was an option to do this, but I cannot find it. I want to rsync a directory on machine A over to machine B, and then rsync the directory on machine B back to machine A. The idea is this: I read my email using mutt, which is set to save my email in ~/Mail in maildir format. This means that each message is in its own file, instead of being appended to an existing file.

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

I'm working on a commercial project that would benefit immensely from the use of rsync. However, I cannot convince management that rsync is a worthy tool due to the rote "it's shareware, it's not supported" FUD. Are there any documented, corportate users of rsync? Testimonials? In short, how do I drag this risk-averse group out of the FTP age into the rsync present? /p

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. The problem is that I cannot get ssh to work without asking password for each step. I tried the public key thing but it doesnt work. Can some one give instructions for a layman like me. Also I want to know how to pass argument to
