similar to: --delete ignored?

When I do rsync -av --backup --backup-dir=/dir1/dir2/Backup \ /dir1/dir2/dir3 machine:/dir1/dir2/dir3 I get /dir1/dir2/Backup/dir3/... /Backup/dir3/dir4/... i.e. the tree under 'dir3' (my source tree) gets created under .../Backup. This is fine. But when I do the same thing with a single file like rsync -av --backup --backup-dir=/dir1/dir2/Backup \ /dir1/dir2/file

rsync is great for syncing 2 directory trees, but I want to maintain a master source tree on one machine and copy that to multiple machines. i.e. basically what rdist does The only way I can see of doing this with rsync is to have multiple cron jobs 0 * * * * rsync ... machine1:... 0 * * * * rsync ... machine2:... ...and so on. Is there a more elegant/compact way of doing this? Thanks

I have a directory on Unix exposed as a Samba share. All the filenames are greater than 8.3 format. When I go to this directory from a DOS prompt and do 'del *.*', I get a bunch of errors 'Unable to find file ...'.. But, if the directory contained 500 files, after the 'del *.*' it contains 400 files. I repeat the del *.*, get a few more errors Unable to find file ...

This is a forward of a question from the SourceForge LLVM forum.

I have found a nasty bug when a file, which is in some of many sources, shall be copied to a target. The linux-Version works well but rsync 2.5.{2|5|6} under solaris9 (gcc 2.95.3) and darwin (gcc 3.1) do not. The decision which file (out of which src) shall be copied depends on the number of src dirs given on the command line. This bug bytes us very hard, because we decided to rely on rsync

Hello, I would like to have a full repository, say, holding files full/a.txt (version 1) full/b.txt (version 1) full/c.txt (version 1) and a repository of updates, for example new/b.txt (version 2 - newer) Then, I would like to call rsync [flags] new/ full/ destination to get destination/a.txt (v.1) destination/b.txt (v.2) destination/c.txt (v.1) This simple case works

We're using rsync 2.5.6 version 26. Want to synch two W2K directories which are not on my machine (machine1 synchs machine2 -> machine3) I would like to synch the 2 direcories with the following syntax: rsync.exe -rva //remote_server1/share$/dir1/default.asp remote_server2::dir2/ When I try this it seems to work: building file list ... 1 file to consider send_files failed to open

Hi, I'm running rsync-3.0.4 on my UNIX system. I've just updated from rsync-2.6.9. I'm facing a general problem with the execution of files during a transfer process. The situation: 2 Directories (dir1 and dir2) on one machine with a some files in dir1 which shall be translated to dir2. rsync does not correctly recognize dir1 and dir2 as directories. It tries to transfer dir1 as a

Hello, I'm totally new to this list, so I hope I don't break all the rules. :) I've looked through the archives (and google), and I really can't find the answer to my question. I'm trying out the 'detect-renamed'-patch, and I've encountered some odd behavior. I've applied the patch to both rsync-2.6.9 and rsync-3.0.0pre7, and it's the same behavior.

Hello, i try to copy a specified directory and the according folders and files below to a remote host. cd /dir /usr/bin/rsync -ravz -e ssh --include='*/' --include='*/00/*/*' --exclude='*' . remote_host:/tmp i want to copy in these example the directory "00" and the according folders and files below. the structure of the directory is defined by a software and

Hello all, I am testing the VFS recycle module, and have a question. The module is working the way I hoped with the exception of the exclude_dir option. I have an entry like: exclude_dir = dir1 -- files I place in dir1 are not sent to the recycle location. However, if I have a folder beneath dir1 like dir1/dir2, files in dir2 get sent to the recycle location. I've tried using wildcards in

Hello All, I have an off topic question about rsync and was wondering if i can get some kind person help with it. I have two servers with each server have three same directories on them /dir1/ /dir2/ /dir3/ . How would i achieve this by using rsync? I have tried rsync -avrt --delete server_ip:/dir1/ /dir2/ /dir3/ /dir1/ /dir2/ /dir3/ this does not do anything except give errors. Someone on IRC

Is there a way to know where is the source, so as to make a source call inside another source smarter? As an example: file1.R is in directory /files/dir1/ file2.R is in directory /files/dir1/dir2/ In file1.R, there is this line: source("dir2/file2.R") So, if I setwd to /files/dir1/, and then I call source("file1.R"), it will run correctly. However, if I setwd to /files,

Hi all, I am having *massive* problems trying to exclude a single directory from an rsync. I have serv1 and serv2. I am trying to rsync /foo/test from serv1 to /foo on serv2 I want to exclude the directory /foo/test/dir1 So I try: rsync -av --exclude-from=/foo/rsync.excludes /foo/test serv2:/foo rsync.excludes contains: /foo/test/dir1/ This is not working. I also try: rsync -av

Hi all, I'm running rsync (2.6.2) this way (which do not remove files from the destination side which were removed from the sending side): rsync -vbu --backup-dir=/bkp --stats /dir1/*.fle /dir2 I want to sync all .fle files from dir1 to the dir2 and also remove files from the destination which were removed from the sending side, using no recursion. Already tried this:

Howdy, I have a GlusterFS 3.1 volume being mounted on a client using NFS. From the client I created a directory under the mount point and set the permissions to root:groupa 750 My user account is a member of groupa on the client, yet I am unable to list the contents of the directory: $ ls -l /gfs/dir1 ls: /gfs/dir1/: Permission denied $ ls -ld /gfs/dir1 rwxr-x--- 9 root groupa 73728 Nov 9

I'm doing a recurring copy from one server to another from the crontab in this fashion: rsync -av -e ssh --delete 10.0.1.18:/dir1/ /dir1 --progress &> /var/log/rsync_backup.log However, rsync is creating the dir /dir1/dir1 on the machine running this job instead of updating the /dir1 folder. According to the rsync man page, this is the correct syntax: rsync -avz foo:src/bar/
