similar to: trying to get incremental backups working

Hello, In a small environment I have to backup two servers, an Ubuntu 9.10 and a Windows Server 2008 machine. My Backuphost is a Ubuntu 9.10 machine as well. I installed rsync on both Ubuntu hosts from repository (3.0.6) and cwrsync from http://www.itefix.no/i2/node/10650 (3.0.7). Then I wrote some Bash-Scripts which executes rsync every week like that: BACKUPDIR=/var/backup rsync -v -a

Can someone assist me in using rsync to ssh into a remote server to obtain the file listing? As it appears I have some files on a remote server that I need to pull, however there are many files in the remote server directory, to why I am wanting to only pull a certain (-mtime -1). Here is what I have so far: /usr/local/bin/rsync -e ssh -avz --delete --rsync-path=/usr/local/bin/rsync

I am trying to connect a SLES9 server to a share on a Windows 2003 domain. # mount -t cifs //server/share /mnt/share -o credentials=.cifs_creds mount error 13 = Permission denied Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs) #cat .cifs_creds username=remoteuser password=remotepass domain=W2K3ADDOMAIN On the domain controller, I see: Successful Network Logon: User Name:

I seem to have found a bug in 5.8p1. I work remotely, and use three SSH tunnels, two of the form ssh -L port:host:destport -f -N -q -l remoteuser remotehost, and one of the form ssh -D port -f -C -q -N -l

Hello, I am trying to use the "--files-from=FILE" option with rsync version "version 2.6.3 protocol version 28" When I try to use the following syntax, it returns a syntax or usage error: rsync -azrv --files-from=/home/dira/filelist.txt remoteuser@remotehost:/remotedir I am also trying to use ssh with this which obviously yields an error also since the

TL;DR: I expect ProxyCommand to have effect in preference to ControlPath. I've just tripped over this one. I have an ssh Host (let us call it "MAIN") with a ControlPath and with ControlMaster=no, from the .ssh/config file. I also have a shell script whose purpose is to hop to a remote host through a port forward, which uses the ProxyCommand option like this: ProxyCommand ssh

Well, I followed this link: http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/ and implemented it (with a bit of tweaking) on my home network. It is used to make snapshots of two Windows PC's over samba. On one of the machines (and not the other, from what I can tell) it deletes files from the target machine for no good reason (ie. they still exist on the source machine). Then, if I run

Hi, I have a question of using 2 SIP providers. Let's say I have provider A and provider B, and I would like my calls to go to A, and then B if A wasn`t available Something like this would work: exten => 1234,1,Dial(SIP/providerA) exten => 1234,2,Dial(providerB) exten => 1234,3,Hangup But what if I want to put in a delay? If I put 30 seconds on each of them, I'll wait a

Hello, I have several individual files in a directory that I want to keep syncronized. Here's an example: Server #1 (host): /tmp/file1 /tmp/file2 Now of course I can run "rsync -a /tmp/file1 remoteuser@remotehost:/tmp"... But, when I delete /tmp/file1 from the host and try to run this it complains about /tmp/file1 being non-existant... Can I force (or using a more elegant

I've been using rsync for years on linux based systems but just recently downloaded and installed rsync on an XP computer for a certain application. For the most part it works fine except for one issue pertaining to an open file. When backing up the My Documents directory, there is an Outlook .pst file as part of this directory. This is an in use pst file. If Outlook is closed, the pst file

Hello, I'm backing up a file server using rsync from a cron job, which recently started to give me errors like: delete_file: rmdir "/some/path" failed: Directory not empty symlink "/some/path" -> "/some/other/path" failed: File exists Looking at the involved files and directories, it looks like the user decided to replace a directory with a symlink, but

I've read the web/man pages on dsync, but it's not clear to me whether dsync can be used to export (rather than import) a user's mailbox to a remote non-dovecot IMAP account. (The intention is to use it whenever a user leaves and wants to copy their local mail to Google or whatever. I currently use uw-imapd's mailutil -- it works, but it's dreadfully slow.) As a first crack

Hi, I am runing rsync --backup --backup-dir=$BACKUPDIR where the BACKUPDIR=$(date +%d) to recycle the $BACKUPDIR in a month. But rsync does not clean the $BACKUPDIR before writing to it in cycling. I guess you have to clean it manually before the rsync can write to it. As my $BACKUPDIR is in remote machine, do you have to run ssh to delete it first before calling rsync in a script? Or if there

Greetings, I have seen via google that this very problem was already discussed on several lists some months ago, but the archives report no solution. I have a remote server with dovecot 1.0-0_12.beta8 on Centos 4.3. IMAP works just fine: I can read email from both Squirrelmail via web and Kmail. Now I have created an ssl certificate on the server, and I'm trying to retrieve email via pop3s

Hi all, I have the following situation: Backup /mysource to /backupdir, /backupdir/full ---------an old full backup /backupdir/back2 -------previous increment backup(based on the full backup mentioned above) /backupdir/back1 ------most recent increment backup (based on the two backups mentioned above) How can I merge the two increment backups into one directory,say

Hi Kevin, Thank you very much for the response. Actually, I don't think I need to clean the backup dir defined in --backup-dir=<backup dir>, when the contents has already been deleted in the destination (no exist), it will delete from the backup dir as well in next cycle, correct?

My Samba AD DC was installed from scratch some months ago using the instructions from this page https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_AD_DC_HOWTO and everything had been working well. I just upgraded some deb-packages with samba to the same version but different buid-release. Regarding

I want to replicate between two Solaris hosts. The source is Solaris 2.6 and the target is Solaris 2.8. Using rsh, the basic program seems fine (not running in daemon mode), but I have a problem. The directory tree is about 150,000 files, with about 5 gb of data. I tar'd the directory and moved it to the other side, but when I run an rsync against that directory, it still wants to move

Greetings! I've ran into a couple difficulties for a particular rsync use-case I'm involved in implementing - hoping someone here might be able to clue me in! I've got an existing linux box, with a particular directory that needs to be mirrored onto another server, into a different base path on that server - i.e.: server1:/var/lib/bar/ to server2:/backupdir/var/lib/bar/ Now,
