Hello All - I've been struggling to figure out whether this is possible, and starting to think it isn't. What I'm trying to do is add all directories to be backed up (source) in the include file and not mention any source directories on the actual command line. For example I've tried something like the following with no luck: rsync 10.0.100.254: /backup/

Hello, Can someone tell me what the problem is here. I am doing an rsync on a sendmail spool directory to a folder that is a samba mount. Why is rsync trying to change owner? Does it have to? I tried manually changing owner (as root) on a file that is sitting on the samba mount and I got the same operation not permitted error. Does anybody know why this is? Or do I need to ask in a samba

I'm rsync'ing an rdiff-backup repository to a different machine and I have a few questions I'm hoping you guys can help me out with. Should I use --archive? Or maybe -rlD instead? Can I restrict an SSH key to rsync? I can do it with rdiff-backup with command="rdiff-backup --server" but I can't figure out how to do it with rsync. The rdiff-backup repository I'm

Hi, I'm doing a 30 day rotational backup using rysnc. If I go to the root of the backup directory and use: du --max-depth=1 -h, it gives me the actual space being taken up by each incremental directory, the space being taken by the current directory, and then the total of all. For example: 44G /Current 1G /06-20-2004 750M /06-19-2004 Etc... Etc.. .. .. 70G Total But what I would like to

Is there anyway to keep rsync from reporting an error when attempting to sync pagefile.sys (through a samba share)? It seems like any type of exclusion of the file gets ignored, why is that? Anyway around it? Also, of experimented with the exclude-from syntax quite a bit and haven't figure out how you could just backup all .doc files on a file system and exclude everything else. Thanks - Max

Hello - I just finished doing a search of the archives and couldn't seem to get this answered. Example, I have a root directory containing the following directories: /Test1 /Test2 /Test3 I want to rsync only /Test2 and all subdirs under. So my include-from file looks like: + Test2/* - /* This doesn't work as nothing is synced, and if I do a -vv it tells me that nothing is being

Hi, I'm having some strange issues when using cp in my rsync script. It seems there may be links breaking or something. Before running the actual rsync I run the following command in my script: cp -al /backup/Current /backup/$prevday Then I rsync from the source to /Current So shouldn't all my previous days have hard links back to the original /backup directory? Sometimes the

[I accidently sent this to Martin instead of the list...] I wonder if it would be useful to have a partner program that would index the rsync'ed file system (like Tripwire). If the index file exists (or meets other defined

Hi. rsync 3.0.8 FreeBSD RELENG_4 i386. rsync -Haxi --delete /.../ /.../ The first pathspec above (residing on zz, a full filesystem) is: /vvvv/wwww/xxxx/zz/ The second pathspec above (residing on yyy, an empty filesystem) is: /vvvv/wwww/xxxx/yyy/zz/ It's obviously a 'copy everything over' operation. I've had to obfuscate the pathnames, however the exact pathlength throughout

Hello - I've just upgraded to 2.6.5. On a new set of servers I'm trying to sync I seem to be running into a log of memory allocation errors. With some of the servers, I start the rsync session, and it counts so many files and then stops. At that point I'm unable to control-c out of the process. From another session I can't issue a kill command either...very strange. On other

Hello - When using the stats option I understand that Literal should be the amount of data that did not match, and that Sent should be the actually amount of bytes that were sent. I always use compress for remote transfers, so I'm used to Sent being smaller (usually around half the size) than Literal. However on one server, the backup from last night had the Sent figure larger than Literal

I've got a strange issue that I'm hoping someone can help out with. Just installed 2.5.6 on a Redhat 8 system. Was doing a simple test from one local directory to another (in the root) with a couple of text files in the source. Using the following command line: rsync /directory1/ /directory2/ -v --recursive --stats After the first sync all files are copied properly, but then every

Hello I'm having a heck of a time rsync'ing (is that the proper conjugation? :)) between two Cygwin machines. I have three directory trees that are "exposed" via rsynch. Two of the three have a very shallow structure, and they work fine. The third, however, has a fairly deep structure and many more files than the other two, and rsync'ing this directory causes a hang on

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

We are rsync'ing from an xp box running cygwin to a redhat box, using a Perl script that fist calls for an ssh tunnel, then calls rsync through local host. ssh -P -f -L 8740:remote.host.ip:873 user@firewall.ip -p 22 sleep 25 rsync -vrtz -v --timeout=180 --exclude-from=exludefiles rsync://localhost:8740/<remote path> <target path>

Hi, I was able to rsync files from Windows 2000 to Solaris 8 but when I opened the text files with vi on solaris, a '^M' char was appended to each line of the files. My question is how to get rid of that '^M' when rsync'ing ? I suspect this is because Windows and Unix treat line feed/carriage return differently, but I just do not want that '^M' shown in the files after

I've been using the latest cifs 1.8 client at http://linux-cifs.samba.org/ with Fedora 3 and RHE 4. This client seems to have a lot of issues that I did not notice when using smbfs. It seems like when there is an issue with connectivity to a windows machine, and you try to access a cifs mount, the entire session locks up. I basically have to kill the session, log back on, and then there is no

I know this has come up a bit in the past, but consider this situation: Two Samba4 DC's - and I want to "mirror" the data shares to the "backup" DC in case we lose the primary DC and it's file shares. [A cheap, dirty, poor-mans semi-CTDB. How did you ever guess that Red Green was helping me?!] The easiest way is probably rsync'ing the data. However, will that

I'm using Fedora Core 6 which uses cifs.mount version 1.10. When mounting shares from a particular Windows 2003 R2 server, I cannot read certain directories. For example, when performing an 'ls' command as follows: [root@backup Admin]# ls /share/CORP-SERVER/C\$/Corp/User\ Files/xxx\ Finacial\ Shared/Admin/Freddie\ Mac/ ls: reading directory /share/CORP-SERVER/C$/Corp/User Files/xxx
