has someone come up with a trick to let disconnected ssh connections be recovered without terminating and having to restart rsync (perhaps by wrapping ssh or something)? i have a very large (but pretty stable/unchanging) tree of files that i need to sync daily, at night, between two geographically different servers. i'm using rsync -avz --force -e ssh SOURCE DEST. the connection is

I'm interested in these very questions (librsync-rsync relationship, remaining limitations of rsync, active prospects for ground-up rewrites), Google searches for rsync info have proved a little too vague due to the programs ubiquity. Much has certainly changed since this was written, could some people with knowledge in these areas could update martin's response for the state of rsync,

I'm trying to use the rsync algorithm for incremental backups. After a quick look at rsync I saw the batch mode operations, and I thought that maybe I can modify them for incremental backups. What is needed is to add an option to save the checksums of all the files of the level 0 backup and a second option to use the level n checksum to calculate the delta batch files for the level n+1

Hi all, I'm trying a java implementation of rsync for "fun and profits" ;-) helped by librsync 0.9.7 and jarsync (a died java implementation) So i started to implement rdiff command and for now i have a working signature command. With first test, i had the same signature file of testsuite/mksum.input/COPYING.sig but when i try with another dummy file, for each checksum pair :

hello, I'm new to this list. here is my question: I would like to synchronize two computers (say the home one and the job one) using zip drives or similar (cdroms, etc), since modem lines are quite slow and expensive (in Italy). I though I could produce the "signature" of files on home computer, store it on a zip, go to job, run rsync to copy the missing or altered files on

I have been really lax in supporting librsync for the last few months, because of a new job and taking over maintenance of rsync

I am a student in computer science, several weeks ago, i learn the rsync algorithm and i am very interested in it. I use the gdb to debug the rsync,but when i enter the function start_client , I use bt to find the function stacks,but i cannot find the function ,why? and how can i to see the start_client function and continue to debug the function. -------------- next part -------------- HTML

All, Does anyone know anything about librsync, and where it is currently maintained = on the web? It apparently is/was a samba project, but I'm not sure how it relates. The authors are listed as: Martin Pool <mbp@samba.org> Andrew Tridgell <tridge@samba.org> but I suspect someone else did the 0.9.5.1 update, because only 0.9.5 is = available on the rproxy site

Hi all. (I am sending this querry here because it is somehow relating to rsync. If i am wrong please pardon me.) I am doing following on these windowsXP and Vista. I am trying to get only incremental backup using "rdiff-backup" (that also uses rsync). I have installed gcc compiler and by following the steps given in http://katastrophos.net/andre/blog/2005/11/02/rdiff-backup-on-windows/

So the short summary of my problem is, the batch file rsync creates is HUGE for a very small change. The idea is to create workstation image with partimage, update it with some software and send the image update diff over the wire to a large number of destinations over a satellite link, but the batch file updates are several orders of magnitude too large. I don't know exactly how partimage

I have repeatable cases where a (very large) file contents are the intended content of a device (partition) of that exact size. The target device is already mostly of that content, but a few block have been changed. I want to restore the device contents back to what the file originally was. I'm trying to find a way to have rsync's write end open the device as a file and do its thing to

Hi everyone, I'm trying to archive to a remote host but the size of the data to copy is prohibitively large to consider doing the sync over the wire (it's TBs of raw video), so i was wondering if it was possible to use a usb attached storage device as the transport medium. Is it possible for rsync to compare the two systems (over the network) finding any newer or different files on the

Apologies in advance for a kind of long question: I've written an application called changedfiles (http://www.bangstate.com/software.html#changedfiles), which consists of two parts: a linux kernel module that reports all file operations to a device special, and a userspace daemon which can take arbitray shell action on files matching regexp rules specified in a config file. E.G.,

I'm not sure if this is the appropriate forum for questions regarding librsync, but couldn't find any others. I'm trying to get librsync working properly on Solaris 2.7 and 2.8 Sparc servers. The problem is that while librsync appears to compile cleanly, "make check" fails the sources.test. Does anyone have any insight as to why this might be? Might I need a specific

Hello everybody, About librsync, does anyone know how to patch the delta without creating a new file ? I used the librsync and it always generates a new file, which is embarrassing if the file is over 1Gb. I tried to store the new file in RAM, but it saturates the machine. Is there a possibility to write in the current file to be synchronized, although this file is currently being

I am the author of BackupPC (http://backuppc.sourceforge.net) and I am working on adding rsync support to BackupPC. I am implementing the server-side in perl, and the client will run vanilla rsync. (BTW, is there the protocol documented? I've answered all my questions by looking at the source, but it would be great to check against any docs.) I started with librsync 0.9.3 and the

Thanks Donovan, I downloaded the librsync 0.9.6 from sf and it compiled just fine believe it or not in the new visual studio.net. There where warnings but no fatal errors and the exe seems to be running just fine. I've tested it just now on a 60 meg mdb file that I've been trying to backup.. it seems to work great!. I even saved the original so I could apply patches and then file compare

For anyone who'd like to check out the latest release of my "rzync" [sic] test release, I've just released a new version. For those that might not have time to look at the code but could provide some feedback based on a rough description, I've created the following simple web page: http://www.clari.net/~wayne/new-protocol.html Here's the tar file of the new

What I want to do is use rsync to back up a folder to an external drive. I would like to keep 30 days worth. For example: I have backups of June 1 - June 30. Once July 1 comes along, I want to keep June 2 - July 1 and delete June 1, and so forth. Any ideas how I can accomplish this? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Rysnc-Schedule-tf4104577.html#a11672997 Sent from the
