Dear all, I would like to propose rysnc feature to our customer. Do you have any reference case from other company that there is using rsync in the production server? regards, Simon _________________________________________________________ §ÚªºÅº¶Æ(®e¯ª¨à)¡A¥ª¾F¥k¨½(§õ§J¶Ô)¡A§A³Ì¬õ(Twins)... ¹L¤d­º¤â¾÷¹aÁn ÂIRing³£±o http://ringtone.yahoo.com.hk

Hi Some of our smaller Central London clients (5 to 25 terminals), who use the NetWare & GroupWise software from Novell Small Business Suite 6, are becoming increasingly concerned about the possibility of their offices becoming inaccessible for a prolonged period in the event of a terrorist attack. We've been asked to provide a low cost solution consisting of replicated offsite servers to

Hi, just a small warning about something that has, like we experienced just last weekend, great consequences. We rsync more than 20 Netware servers through a mapping on an NT machine to central Rsync destination servers (also NT). Last weekend our clock changed to Daylight Savings Time. It appears that NT changes the file stamps on NTFS volumes accordingly (Q129574 on their suppor site). This

I need to distribute rsync (useable for both client and --daemon) on Win32. Distributing cygwin1.dll is, well you know, a bad idea. I took a shot at building under MingW but ran into an ugly looking error: > checking for socklen_t... no > checking for socklen_t equivalent... configure: error: Cannot find a > type to use in place of socklen_t I will pay $50 for a MingW build of latest

Does rsync has directory name length limit? I was trying to rsync a directory that has the name length of 34 characters and getting permission denied error. $ rsync -avz --delete --force -e ssh /usr/local/apache/htdocs 192.168.0.2:/usr/local/apache building file list ... readlink htdocs/CorporateLegalTimesEDITORIAL_files/cBug_blueXs.gif: Permission denied readlink

Hi, I have setup a cron job to rsync files between two servers every hour. 30 * * * * rsync -avz --delete rsyncsrv1::ftp/ /export/ftp/ This works fine most of the time, but if I have a very large file that needs to be transfered ( many tens of MBs), I run into a problem. Since the link between my two servers is slow, it can take more than an hour to complete the rsync transfer. So at the

Hello! I want to start rsync on w2k as service. If I try to start rsync from command line it simply do nothig: $ rsync --daemon Administrator@dm-w2ks /usr/bin $ ps PID PPID PGID WINPID TTY UID STIME COMMAND 480 1 480 480 con 500 04:15:03 /usr/bin/bash 1428 480 1428 1420 con 500 05:26:46 /usr/bin/ps Administrator@dm-w2ks

Hullo, all. I diligently consulted the suggested reading on the way in: > Welcome to the rsync@lists.samba.org mailing list! PLEASE READ THIS > IMPORTANT ETIQUETTE MESSAGE BEFORE POSTING: > http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html 'Twas a quick read, given that I'm the co-author. ;-> I recently received an odd inquiry from someone I didn't know at all,

That's actually a very good suggestion. First I figured that in this way files changed within the hour after creation would be ignored, but they probably represent a very small minority anyway. On the other hand, this does not really rectify the situation, but will allow us to postpone the real sync again until, let's say a holiday, where we have plenty of time to sync. Rgds, Bart

Howdy... I have been doing some reading of the rsync technical report, rsync man page, and the rsync web site, and I have learned allot, but having a high IQ does help. I have read the rsync, and rsyncd.conf man pages in regards to the switches, settings, etc., and summized that rsync is specifically designed for copying files between Unix kernel systems, regardless of flavor, platform, or

The problem is caused because rsync does not close its sockets, and WinSock is a quite strict on this. The solution is to shutdown and close the fd. This is a 5-minute hack I've done to fix the obvious occurrences of the problem. It might be better to extend rsyncs cleanup functions for this, but here it is anyway to alert people to the problem and its fix. Max. BEGIN PATCH diff -mru

Howdy... I have searched the archives, and even read what has been posted on the site regarding a Win32 port of rsync. Though I have found a problem with everything. The URLs for building your own, or downloading the compiled binaries for the Win32 platform are no longer valid. Therein the problem lies, as the information is outdated, and still easily available on the site publicly. I

Hi, I would like to log whatever happens with rsync on client side when it runs with Cygwin on NT4. First, I just did a redirect of the screen output to a log-file: rsync -rtv --delete --modify-window=2 --stats /cygdrive/g/users/bco/test/ bee2bs01::d/test/ >>c:\rsync\log\%FDATE%.log The problem with this method is that it does not redirect whatever Rsync reports as errors; because they

Hi all, I have installed rsync 2.5.5 as daemons on our 35 Netware servers (no 2.5.6 is yet available for Netware) and do a daily sync from a Linux Rsync client machine with 1.2 TB disk capacity. For the moment we do a daily, weekly and monthly backup on tape of this machine, but I'd like to replace the daily backups by a disc-based setup. It would be good to be able to share the

Hi. I'm running on a Windows 98 client and an RS6000 with Samba 2.0.7 (latest). I've used "net time \\ibrissde /SET /YES" to sync the times between the two systems ... but if I save a file onto the RS6000 through Samba on a mapped drive the file in UNIX is 1 hour old. I haven't been able to find any help on this so I'm assuming it's a bug !? This was also true

Is it possible to make a complete image (or clone) of your hard drive (FAT or NTFS) using rsync? Is it possible to make incremental backups of the image (without having to duplicate the source files)? When restored to a new hard drive it should be bootable again and should be an exact copy or clone of the original hard drive(i.e. the program should firstly copy the system file information

Hallo, i am verry sorry about my bad engllish. But i trie my best... I trie to setup an Backupserver. If i use this rsync -varpog -e ssh /home/www/web6 217.172.xxx.xxx:/home/www/web6 the Server is asking me fore Password.

Hi all, This isn't a bug, its just a lapse in the documentation. I just got a script going that repeats every 5 seconds, that uses rsync to send data from A, running Ubuntu V6.06.1, to B, running cygwin. I got stuck on the issue of preventing the password prompt from interrupting the script. The problem is that the man pages are misleading, they suggest that RSYNC_PASSWORD and

All, has anyone any experience in using Wifi smartphones as SIP clients? Does this work properly? What models/brands are optimal for this (in terms of ease of use, battery life etc)? Thx!! B.

Hi As I want to automate my Desktop backup process, I'm currently trying to finilize a CMD (Windows XP batch) file in order to save different data (outlook.pst, \desktop, \docs, \Favorites ....). My problem is that even with this parameter SET RSYNC_PASSWORD=xxxx It still ask me for a password, blocking of course all the process automation. I'm running either on my Linux backup box
