Hi all, I am very new to the rsync world (as well as the linux world) and have some really basic doubts. Please bear with me. I installed RH 9 on two systems in the same network and Rsync 2.5.5 was automatically installed with it. When I executed the command “rsync –avz test.txt /backupdir/ ”, it backed up the file test.txt into backupdir/test.txt. But when I tried the command “rsync

Hi all, I know this subject is extensively discussed on the mail list but I did not get the solution yet..

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

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

Hello, rsync.h is always including the syslog.h file, even though it is only used when the LOG_DAEMON macro is defined.

Hello - I just finished doing a search of the archives and couldn't seem to get this answered. Example, I have a root directory containing the following directories: /Test1 /Test2 /Test3 I want to rsync only /Test2 and all subdirs under.
