Hello All, I have been using rsync to backup several filesystems by using Mike Rubel's hard link method (http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/). The problem is, I am backing up a lot of ASCII .log, csv, and .txt files. These files are large and can range anywhere from 1GB to 30GB. I was wondering if on the target side (the backup side), if I can use some sort of compression. I

Hi folks, Are there any tricks known to let rsync operate on huge tar files? I've got a local tar file (e.g. 2GByte uncompressed) that is rebuilt each night (with just some tiny changes, of course), and I would like to update the remote copies of this file without extracting the tar files into temporary directories. Any ideas? Regards Harri

Mike, As it stands right now, we use xz for our compression, so if rsync had a similar option for xz that would probably be an improvement. However, I think being able to decompress directly to the remote system would save more; elsewise I don't see how I'm going to be able to avoid untarring and uncompressing the whole xz file on the other end. thanks much, ed On Tue, Dec 6, 2016 at

Hi, I currently create large (500MB-2.5GB) tar.gz files that I am trying to get to rsync better. After doing some research by reading a lecture presented by the original author of rsync and googling the list archives, I have concluded that the gzip-rsyncable.diff is the best way to get gzipped files to rsync nicely. The only version I could find of this patch is available here:

Hi, Recently We've upgraded some KVM hosts from Fedora 29 to Fedora 30 and now experience broken VM configurations on filesystem after virsh blockcommit. Commands "virsh dumpxml ..." and "virsh dumpxml --inactive ..." is showing diffrent configuration than the one on filesystem. In case of restart libvirtd or system reboot, there are broken VM xml configurations on

Hi All, I have a 1.8GB PST file that is backed up every night from a cygwin install) and every night rsync transfers about 1.8GB of data for that file. It changes a bit, but for all intents and purposes the entire file is transferred. There are other files on this system that rsync more typically, so I'm fairly certain this isn't a switch or command error on the calling end. I have also

Hi I'm having issues sendig a lot of tar.gz backup files to a ZFS remote filesystem server. This files are compressed with the --rsyncable option. Sending without --inplace option rsync works well and send only the differences, but to create a temporary file and rewrite the file destination, zfs snapshots contain the full size of the backup, not only differences block. I've tried

Hello group, I'm having a very hard time rsyncing efficiently a MySQL database which contains very large binary blobs. (Actually, it's the database of Mantis bug tracker [http://www.mantisbt.org/], with file attachments stored directly in the table rows. I know it's a bad idea from many other reasons, but let's say it was given to me as such.) First, I was dumping the

I noticed with rsync and compressed files or package files the transfer efficiency drops considerably. Eg. rsync an ISO image of a distribution will give you between 30% and 60% of the original transfer although from Beta1-Beta2 the change could not have been that great. The same thing happens with ZIP files for obvious reasons. My question or feature request if you want to call it is. Is it

Hi, all - I've been digging into the question of using rsync to sync up compressed data, and read with interest the conversations regarding the rsync friendly patch available for gzip (I belive Rusty provided this patch). For anyone interested, the message thread is archived at http://lists.samba.org/archive/rsync/2002-June/thread.html. The broad outline of this approach were mentioned in

I am trying to set a uniform PXE environment to load multiple distros. RHEL 5.1 and 4.7 SUSE 10.2 and 11 Solaris 10 X86 Window Multiple server versions.... - Why? Because I am in hell. What I want is to have an upper level pxelinux.0 call the default menu directories that come with the releases. Is there a way to call pxelinux.0 and point it at a different pxelinux.cfg directory?

Hi, all. This is my first post to the list, so please forgive me if this is an old issue. I scoured the mailing list archives by hand and could find no mention of it, and the official FAQ-o-matic mentions it, but doesn't offer a fix that works for me. I've set up an rsync daemon on Windows NT4 by installing the latest cygwin. Using the cygwin1.dll and rsync.exe, I'm able to connect

Dear all, I am implementing a backup system, where thousands of postgreSQL databases (max 1 Gb in size) on as much clients need to be backed up nightly across ISDN lines. Because of the limited bandwidth, rsync is the prime candidate of course. Potential problems I see are server load (I/O and CPU), and filesystem limits. Does anyone have experience with such setups?

Hello, Rsync is great, thanks to all who work on it. Does anyone have any good strategies for keeping the backups on the remote side compressed on disk? I'm under the impression that gzipping the files would not work as they would not be available to rsync in the uncompressed state for subsequent backups. A compressed filesystem would be prefect, but the only references I could find was for

Hello, I have a few files of the order of 50G, that get synchronized to a remote server over ssh. These files have binary data and the change before the next time they are synchronized over. My question is, I am observing that the data being sent over is almost equal to the size of the file. Would an insertion of a few blocks in a binary file, move the alignment of the entire file and
