I read the following hint at: http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/#Incremental mv backup.0 backup.1 rsync -a --delete --link-dest=../backup.1 source_directory/ backup.0/ I simply want to maintain a dated backup of a server so that I could always go back to a certain date. I would like to keep this structure for each day for the last seven days, then one weekly snapshot for

Hi, i have to tranfer large files each 5-100 GB (mo-fri) over dsl line. unfortunately dsl lines are often not very stable and i got a broken pipe error. (dsl lines are getting a new ip if they are broken or at least after a reconnect every 24 hours) i had a script which detect the rsync error and restart the transmission. this means that if a file has transfered e.g. 80 % i start again from

Dear R-users, I have a basic question about how to determine the antilog of a variable. Say I have some number, x, which is a factor of 2 such that x = 2^y. I want to figure out what y is, i.e. I am looking for the antilog base 2 of x. I have found log2 in the Reference Manual. But I am struggling how to get the antilog of that. Any help will be appreciated! > version platform

I use rsync regularly for backups of large trees, sometimes over low bandwidth links, and I would like to suggest a potentially major speedup under some circumstances, where files or folders are moved or renamed. The principle is simple : often people rename a file, or move it from one folder to another. Current behaviour (please correct me if I am wrong) is for wget to see this as a

hi, while all files is owned by nsd user and nsd run as nsd the nsd.db is still owned by root user (because the compiler run as root and create this file as root, ok i know just it'd be better if this file is owned by nsd too). another strange thing is that on the slave nsd i've got such messages: ----------------------------------------- zonec: reading zone "lfarkas.org".

I have compiled openssh with the Sun compiler, for the first time :) Installed it on my Solaris 8 box, restarted sshd, and connected to localhost. It works, basically, but I get ... debug1: Entering interactive session. Warning: no access to tty (Inappropriate ioctl for device). Thus no job control in this shell. and also May 20 18:01:01 localhost sshd[5753]: error: open /dev/tty failed -

Mark, The patch seems to cause problems if there are any transfer interruptions (as mentioned in the comments in the patch). However, even on a retransfer, the earlier partially transferred file is not fixed, although the client appears to think the transfer has completed successfully. This appears to be a serious bug. Note: Both client and server have the inplace patch, and on Linux platforms

Any recommendations for log servers? Mostly for firewall activity but I'd like to use one for squid also if one is available.

Hi, My situation is that I would like to use rsync to copy very large files within my network/systems. Specifically, these files are in the order of 10-100GB. Needless to say, I would like to be able to restart a transfer if it only partially succeeded, but NOT repeat the work already done. Currently, I am initiating the transfer with this command: rsync --partial --progress theFile

Hi, Anybody knows how rsync transfer one single file if there is difference between the two files, will rsync re-transfer the whole file or only transfer the difference? In my experiment, i found rsync would retranster the whole file again if there's a difference. What I did were: I manually created a huge.txt (file size 100813288 ), run rsync command to transfer this file from server 1 to

We''ve just upgraded to a new firewall machine, and a new version of Shorewall. We''re now on 2.04; previous version was 1.3.9b (!). So I''m pretty sure whatever problems we''re having are related to the big version jump. We''re using config files that exactly match our old (working) configuration (IOW, these are things which _were_ working on the old

I have a small business client with a new samba file server. It's CentOS 4.2 and Samba samba-3.0.10-1.4E.2. When they save open Excel files from Windows, they are prompted to overwrite the existing file. I mean, when they click the little disk icon or use Ctrl-S or File--Save. Excel would normally just write over the file, not check with an "are you sure?" prompt. But that's

Hi All, I am wondering when we do live migration, how much memory is transferred? I guess it must be one of the three below, but not sure which one: 1. The amount of memory allocated to VM 2. The memory currently used by VM (actual Mem usage in guest) 3. The memory used by the qemu process (RSS). Best Regards, Hui

I have tried a couple of things to get what i want but am unsure how to get there. I would like in the log i use for rsync to only output files it has trouble getting. e.g if permission is denied or file changed during read something like that. If i use the v option for verbose it lists every single file which is too much as i want people to quickly scan over problem files and alert if there is

Hi everybody, Until know i synchronized a few directories full of binaries with "--checksum" options, it took each time a lot of time since rsync "mdsum" each file contained in my directories. Then I decided to skip "--checksum" option to let rsync work only of files size and files mtime and speed up the process but when i launch a dry-run : rsync wants to

Hello, I have been using the rsync --stats switch to generate rudimentary reports for a while now. I've recently noticed on a new machine I am working with that there seems to be something wrong with the Number of Files Transferred stat. Consider the following two sets of stats from two different rsync sessions. The first session is the initial rsync of a source point and the second is an
