Hi, I'm still waiting for my list subscription but if I don't send in this bug report now I won't for who-knows-how-long and I want to get it in.... I'm using 2.5.6 compiled from cvs on SCO Open Server 5.0.6 bothe machines are the same version of OS and the same copy of rsync. on my live machine one of the database files eventually got to be 2 gigs the file has since then been

Hi, Is there a way in which rsync's -z compression (zlib) utility can be benchmarked? I'm trying to compare the compression ratio between rsync and external compression tools like gzip and bzip2. Are there any advantages to using rsync's internal compression mechanism specified with the -z option compared to solely applying external compression i.e. bzip2 to the files and invoking

Hi, Where can I get good pointers on the rolling checksum algorithm used in rsync? I need an 8-bit or 12-bit rolling checksum too. Any place where "rolling" checksum algorithms are discussed?

Has anyone else experienced high CPU usage when using RSYNC in windows 2000 server? I am using the rsync.exe (and applicable DLL's) from the cygwin installation (I am not however running cygwin on this machine). The linux machine connecting to the windows rsync daemon has a very low performance hit when the session is running (see below). However, the windows machine, which has a much

Please enlightnen me on a subject, which is easily explained by example (cyberone is a Cygwin1.3.12/WinXPpro and cyberx is a FreeBSD with latest openssh-portable installed): lapo at CYBERONE ~ $ scp lapo at cyberx:Luth\'ol.pcg . bash: -c: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `'' bash: -c: line 2: syntax error: unexpected end of file lapo at CYBERONE ~ $ scp lapo at

For a recent project I needed to run Rsync as a service on Windows NT. The following is a link to the instructions I created to recreate my steps. http://members.home.net/cbollerud2/projects/rsync/NTService.html The "no-fork" patch used here is very similar to the "no-detach" option mentioned in many previous posts. I wish I could take credit for it, but I basically put

I'm looking for the latest build of RSYNC for windows 2000 or Windows XP. Does anyone have any resources? Thanks, Shawn skdoyle1@yahoo.com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Autos - Get free new car price quotes http://autos.yahoo.com

I'm interested in these very questions (librsync-rsync relationship, remaining limitations of rsync, active prospects for ground-up rewrites), Google searches for rsync info have proved a little too vague due to the programs ubiquity. Much has certainly changed since this was written, could some people with knowledge in these areas could update martin's response for the state of rsync,

Can you tell me a place to download RSYNC 2.5.2 for Windows Nt and the documentation?. Thanks.

Help ! I am running rsync as a service on w2k successfully using the patch from http://v.iki.fi/~vherva/cygwin-rsync/ I would like to connect to the windows machine from Linux, to automatically backup the windows machine without user intervention. I understand that there are network problems using the native rsync transport under windows. How do I setup ssh with a w2k server? I have the ssh

We need to encrypt files before transferring them to the destination Host for security reasons. Encryption must be strong: IDEA, 3DES or similar. One way would be the integration of PGP into rsync. Is there any PGP integration into rsync available ? Thank?s Clemens

Hi, folks. I've been quite concerned about Open Source and the recent FSF compromise. I realize that FSF does not seem to have rsync, but prudence would dictate that I check other sources as well. Could someone please e-mail the public key for rsync to the list or to me directly? rsync-2.5.6.tar.gz rsync-2.5.6.tar.gz.sig I seem to be having a spot of trouble getting to any public

Hi, I'm trying to use rsync to backup a linux filesystem to a windows server. I followed the hints that I found at http://www.tiarnan.phlegethon.org/rsyncntdoc.html to run rsync on windows, and it works quite well. The only problem I found is that windows is not able to backup linux special files (/dev/*). I don't know if the problem is in the way rsync has been compiled, or simply in

Hi there, I'm playing arround with rsync under W2K in conjunction with the cygwin environment. What I want is to get rsync copy a folder tree from one W2K machine to another W2K machine through a firewall. I installed the cygwin on both machines and got the rsync running which is using an openssh connection with public key authentication. Everything works fine except for the assignment of

I am attempting to use rsync to "mirror" data between several windows 2000 and windows XP systems. I am a UNIX person by nature, so decided the easiest way to go about doing this would be to use Cygwin with cron and ssh running as services, then run the rsync connection nightly through cron. Cygwin is installed on both systems and works perfectly. OpenSSH is installed and running,

Hi there, I have a problem syncronizing a windows machine with a linux box. I want to backup the "My Documents" folder. Therefore I burned the data on a cdrom because the windows pc is only connected over a slow wan connection to the linux box. When I copy the data to the users home directory (using samba and another windows pc) and run the rsync program all the files are copied once

Hi to all on the Rsync mailing list. I noticed some posts back on the 25th September about my Rsync page (http://www.gaztronics.net/rsync.php). There were questions regarding it's suitability, why it was there, etc, and how I did not conform to the GPL. I have since sought advice from the Rsync administrators, who have advised me with regards to the GPL, etc. The page has been updated

hello, I'm new to this list. here is my question: I would like to synchronize two computers (say the home one and the job one) using zip drives or similar (cdroms, etc), since modem lines are quite slow and expensive (in Italy). I though I could produce the "signature" of files on home computer, store it on a zip, go to job, run rsync to copy the missing or altered files on
