Given two directories "foo" and "fooprime", can I have rsync make a file or directory "d", that contains the differences between these two directories such that I can take d and apply it to foo to get fooprime, or take fooprime and reverse-apply d to it to get foo? I'm not sure that the --backup and --backup-dir options to rsync will give me exactly what I want.

We have a Windows 2000 PDC (domain name: DOM1) and a Windows 2000 CIFS fileserver (\\winfs) that we are migrating over to Samba (domain name: DOM2). Without turning off anything on the Windows boxes, I created a new PDC for the Samba server. I also created shares on this Samba server that closely match (same share name mounted off same NetApp backend) the Windows fileserver (e.g. \\winfs\share is

I have a Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4 PDC (AD backend) that I'd like to replace with Samba. The docs on samba.org are a bit confusing though, here is an excerpt from Chapter 4, "Domain Controller Types": Samba-3 servers can readily be converted to and from domain controller roles through simple changes to the smb.conf file. Samba-3 is capable of acting fully as a native

Hello list, I am running rsync 2.5.5 on some Solaris 7 and 8 boxes. I'd like to sync different directories from one box to another. This is my include file: ppukweb2% more rsync-include-file /tmp/loris/testrsync1 /tmp/loris/testrsync2 /tmp/loris/testrsync3 This is the command I run: rsync -azv -e ssh --stats --include-from=/tmp/rsync-include-file ppukweb8:/tmp/loris and this is the

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 need to copy over 100TB of data from one server to another via network. What is the best option to do this? I am planning to use rsync but is there a better tool or better way of doing this? For example, I plan on doing rsync -azv /largefs /targetfs /targetfs is a NFS mounted filesystem. Any thoughts? TIA -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Works fine for me using rsync's upstream HEAD and 2.5.5 release. So it seems like it must be either something in BSD's patches, or something about your compiler, or possibly something else. Could you please try building from upstream

Hello All, I have a simple question I think. I have been using rsync for a year now and all is going well. I have it set up in my cron.daily with the -azv option. When I receive the email upon completion of the cron is there any options I am not aware of that will also show me the size of the file being transfered? Thanks for any help. Amy A.

Hi, I've discovered a bug in rsync which leads to increased CPU usage and slower transfers in many situations. When syncing with compression (-z), certain file types should not be compressed during the transfer because they are already compressed. The file types which are not to be compressed can be seen in the man page section --skip-compress. Unfortunately skipping the default file types

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

I am writing a program that synchronizes my companies Windows laptops with our home server. Due to the nature of our proxy/firewall, I must use SSH with port forwarding to achieve this goal. Currently I establish the SSH connection using the following command: ssh ssh_user@proxy.example.com -i file_name -L 873:200.200.60.60:7000 -N and then run rsync with the following command: rsync

Hi!:) - try using the sudo command as a prefix to all of that.

Apparently rsync breaks on FreeBSD if you turn off -O2 (which is the default.) The breakage is apparently inside zlib. You'd have to think it was a compiler bug, but perhaps not. I haven't tried to reproduce it yet. -- Martin ----- Forwarded message from grog@FreeBSD.org ----- Date: Fri, 19 Apr 2002 23:14:46 -0700 (PDT) From: <grog@FreeBSD.org> To: mbp@samba.org Subject: PR

I got curious as to how rsync operates, and got a few tests going under ethereal. The results confused me more. I created /tmp/test-out/ containing two different text files - one named "file.txt" and the other "data.gz". ie. data.gz wasn't actually compressed - it was actually text. I then created an empty directory on a rsync server to replicate that data to. I did a

All of the rsync pages say that "rsync -a --delete src dest" will do a full mirror but it just isn't so for us. I've only found one Google item similar: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/rsync-doesnt-seem-to-delete-599985/ We have around 9200 directories in 250G in /home on a Sun 4500 with Solaris 8 and rsync 2.6.5 - which we are trying to mirror on Sun

Hi, I have a small server at home. I like to put it 'online' and secure it as good as possible. The counterside of putting your personal backups on a server is that it might get hacked... and you don't want have to have your personal docs online... Do you think encryption is needed? How to use encryption with rsync? Thanks in advance, ~D
