similar to: delete exclusion

I noticed some discussion from a while back of adding a --files-from flag to rsync that would allow an explicit file list to be fed to rsync as to what files it should check. What is the status of that discussion? If I try to specifiy a file list with --include-from that is about 100,000 files long, the execution time goes up to about 20 minutes or more, compared with a couple of seconds to just

Is there anyway to keep rsync from reporting an error when attempting to sync pagefile.sys (through a samba share)? It seems like any type of exclusion of the file gets ignored, why is that? Anyway around it? Also, of experimented with the exclude-from syntax quite a bit and haven't figure out how you could just backup all .doc files on a file system and exclude everything else. Thanks - Max

I am using the following command and the excluded directory /usr/share/doc/ still appears with all it's contents in the backup directory when it's contents should be deleted. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? rsync --delete --delete-excluded -a -R --exclude="/proc/*" --exclude="/dev/*" --exclude="/usr/share/doc/*" --exclude="/backup*"

Dear JW, I spent hours checking and upgrading my hardware. There is nothing wrong with it. It is a 'mature' Pentium-II 400MHz system that has been running my servers WITHOUT ANY CRASHES for nearly 2 years now 24/7 Listen to me: "The crashes are dues to rsync" There is an IDENTICAL report from a totally different source at

Hi all, I want to copy files from a remote server to a local directory with ssh. I've some difficulties with that because on the Remoteserver I have a directory "/www/ftp" with a lot of subdirectories with each of them 4 other subdirectories.

I've got a patch that changes f_name_to() to return an unsigned int (like snprintf() and strlcpy() do) and adds checking to ensure that we didn't overflow the name before we try to use it: http://www.blorf.net/name-overflow.patch If anyone would care to check out the following patch before I commit it, please do. ..wayne..

Hi all, We are currently looking at a solution for backing up files on laptops to a server in a small office (10 users). I was looking at rsync as a solution. Here is my suggested solution: Install rsync on network server - this is Windows 2000 :-( Share the root of C:\ on laptops Schedule rsync to periodically mount to laptops share ove SMB (if they can be found) and running an incremental

Hi, I got a little question on the rsync-option include/exclude: I excluded all hidden files in my home-directory but I want two files to be included. I used following command: gregor@notebook:~> rsync -avzuPn -e ssh --exclude=.* --exclude=* --include=.kderc --include=.gaimrc /home/gregor/ 192.168.0.1:/home/gregor/ building file list ... 1 file to consider wrote 69 bytes read 20 bytes

Hey list, arriving home from SambaXP, it was really nice. That darth vader cake was super sweet :-) Hearing some people talking about how much they'd like bash completion for `samba-tool`, I've put together an ugly script that does that. It's a very dumb script (I'm boldly calling it script), but it might make someones day a little bit easier.

This is a patch to fix one annoyance of having rsync processes race: I usually keep our servers synced with the following script, run by cron. #!/bin/sh lockfile -r 2 -l 1000 /tmp/synchome.lock || exit 1 rsync -e ssh -avHP --delete zorro01:/home/\* /home >/dev/null rm -f /tmp/synchome.lock -- Sometimes my users (including myself) are in a hurry and syncronise files and directories in their

Hello, rsync.h is always including the syslog.h file, even though it is only used when the LOG_DAEMON macro is defined. Could someone change it to be as follows: #ifdef LOG_DAEMON #include <syslog.h> #endif OpenVMS currently does not have a syslog facility, so it does not have a syslog.h.

I am using AIX 4.3.3 and 5.1, rsync version 2.5.5 protocol version 26 when rsyncing files that are larger than 2gb it dies. You get message about broken something. root limits is -1 filesystems are large file enabled. I tested this with linux to linux and it does not have this problem. any reason why it does not work in AIX? __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

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
