similar to: remote rsyncd modules and --link-dest

Hello, This is my first post to the list. Is it possible to specify the --link-dest option server-side in the rsyncd.conf file? What I'd like to do is implement incremental snapshot backups without having to change the clients which all just do regular dumps to the rsync server. I'd like to specifiy this option on the server rather than on the client because I don't want to

I've seen this question asked in the archives, but not really answered. I would like to limit the rsync operation to modules listed in the rsyncd.conf file and hence disallow any command line syncs. Is there any way of doing this? Thanks in advance regards, Dal ************************************************************************************************************ More

Hello, I'm trying to do my rsync to copy a mirror of my site in another webserver. I am trying to use RSYNCD . How I'll do for my rsync to copy my site website in the mirror ?

Hi I am wondering if there is any way to change the file permission of "rsync.log" and "rsyncd.lock" via rsyncd.conf. Most likely the "lock" file is not possible, but maybe the other file is possible. The reason I am asking is because if I UserA runs rsync, then UserB won't be able to write to rsync.log file since its owned by UserA and readable only to UserB.

Hi, I've having some difficulty using rsync from a client to a rsyncd Server (RedHat 7.2). Although the same command works fine on the server. I can view the list from client using - rsync i1:: Using the following cmd to connect from client (i2) to rsyncd server (i1): rsync -trlvz i1::i1-test /home/test /var/log/message file on i1 shows the following error: May 11 10:40:39 i1

I run a CentOS/Fedora mirror with rsync access.

Hi, I have installed rsync on CentOS4, Installation went through ok and I tested it as well by copying a folder to mounted tap backup drive. But now I need to run rsync as daemon(server), trying to find /etc/rsyncd.conf file but there is no rsyncd.conf file exists under /etc directory. Having read online I found out that /etc/rsyncd.conf file needs to be manually created. Is there any sample

Gang, I've read the manual(s), surfed google, spent about 5 hours on this, to no avail.... I'm trying to run rsync in server mode and it appears to start normally, but it refuses all connections (refuses connection when I tried telnetting in on localhost 873!). I've turned off all firewalls on this server (do I dare tell you guys that?...), which is fine: it is on a local network. I

Hello all, I'm not a total newbie, but probably close enough. I have tried to find the answer to this question, but have been unsuccessful. I'm testing out rsync over ssh using empty passphrases between 2 OpenBSD 3.5 boxes using rsync 2.5.7 (yes i know i should upgrade, but can't because of BSD ports issues). Everything seems to be working, but I'm very confused as to why it is

I want to transfer files from a Windows server running rsyncd to a local Linux machine. It has no SSH, so I can't use keys. I need credentials to access files on the rsyncd server, so I thought using "expect" to pass a password in a script is the obvious choice: /usr/bin/expect <<! set timeout -1 spawn rsync --partial -a rsync://username@server/share/dir /local/copy

Hi list, I just setup my first rsyncd server and all is working well as far as file syncing goes. However, I am a bit baffled by the fact that some of the log entries in the rsyncd.log file are entered in local time and other are entered in GMT. Here is a sample: file upload: ============ 2009/03/01 15:15:49 [22641] connect from UNKNOWN (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) 2009/03/01 23:15:49 [22641] rsync to

Hello, Rsync is working great for me right now, using version 2.6.5 on two Solaris 9 V100 servers. Box A is the source and box B is the destination, and also box B is my rsync server box. Box A is a rsync client. Yesterdar from Box B I pulled 250 meg just fine from box A with rsync. Today from the client I want to just copy over to the server what files have changed today. So my command

I would like to specify an entry in /etc/rsyncd.conf such that it operates on a --one-file-system basis always. The path will point to a filesystem mount point, but there is another filesystem that is mounted in a subdirectory. I want to back up only those files in the pointed to filesystem, and not the one mounted within (in that run, anyway). I do not see such an option in man rsyncd.conf. Is

It seems to me that rsyncd.conf does not provide an option akin to rsync's --one-file-system command line argument. If that is true, it seems like a bug of ommission, as I now face a use case where I need it. Is there maybe some technical reason for the ommission? Thanks, -- Lester Hightower
