I read the following hint at: http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/#Incremental mv backup.0 backup.1 rsync -a --delete --link-dest=../backup.1 source_directory/ backup.0/ I simply want to maintain a dated backup of a server so that I could always go back to a certain date. I would like to keep this structure for each day for the last seven days, then one weekly snapshot for

Having snapshot technology is great. Who else supports it? Thanks. Scott

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

Hello All, I have been using rsync to backup several filesystems by using Mike Rubel's hard link method (http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/). The problem is, I am backing up a lot of ASCII .log, csv, and .txt files. These files are large and can range anywhere from 1GB to 30GB. I was wondering if on the target side (the backup side), if I can use some sort of compression. I

Hello, I'm trying to figure out how to keep a mirror and 7 day incremental backup between to 2 mount points. I want to rsync everything from /mnt/production/ to /mnt/backup/production/ on the same server. Nothing fancy. But , I Want to utilize the --delete option for files that no longer exist on /mnt/production/ that have been on /mnt/backup/production/ for longer then 7 days. I

Hello fellas, Firstly, I would like to apologize for the post being long, but I would appreciate if someone with a good knowledge of the subject gave his opinion. I am working on a backup solution for a series of old and very specialized host computers in aviation industry. I need to do monthly backups of one or two logical volumes (non-OS) on each of the computers and keep the last 12 monthly

Hello, I am trying to rsync folders/files hosted on a Windows machine to a Linux machine. Many of the directory names have spaces in them. How can I list them in a file so that the --include-from option use them correctly? Thanks! Charles -- Charles-E. Nadeau Ph.D http://radio.weblogs.com/0111823/

Is anybody else having problems with CentOS 5 not loading the usb drivers for kickstart installations? I'm passing "linux ks=hd:sdb1:/ks.cfg," but I get a message saying it can't find the ks.cfg file and I should enter another path. I use the exact same boot options with CentOS 4 without any problems. What am I missing with CentOS 5? Thanks for any tips. -- Jiann-Ming Su

We have about 5 servers spread out throughout the country: 2 Centos 4.4, 1 Red Hat and 2 windows machines- looking for some good ideas for a back-up solution. Our servers hold a lot of data, but only a small portion of it is crucial on any given day. That crucial portion is always changing (for example, this week the crucial files all relate to November- current and previous projects, and the next

I'm running smbclient 3.0.14a-Debian. I'm trying to view shares on a Windows server on a Active Directory domain: $ smbclient //fileserver/ Password: session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE I'm pretty sure the username and password is correct since it works when I use a Windows client to connect to the fileserver. What does the NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE mean in this

Hello list readers, I am doing rsync backups based on Mike Rubels recipe (http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/). I am creating lvm snapshots of partitions whose contents changes fast. In order to verify if evyerthing went ok, I do md5sum checks on all files and everytime some files are failing the test. Here is a list of them: ./amavis/db/__db.001: FAILED ./amavis/db/__db.002:

Hello, I'm trying to make incremental backups with rsync (I'm reading http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/ ) But I can't backup a file with old owner when the change on the file is only the owner (content is unchanged). rsync -av -e ssh --link-dest=$PWD/backup.1/ --numeric-ids --delete root@myhost.mydomaine.org:/var/www backup.0 If I look at the owner of

Greetings, I've been using samba for a few years now sharing files from the local filesystems without a hitch. Recently I have tried to throw into the mix read only samba shares of read only nfs mounts. I can browse these shares but any attempt to copy files from them seems to reset the connection. Windows says the resource is unavailable. On the Debian system that is sharing the file I see

Hello, I get hanging rsync-processes while synchronisize windows to linux, starting on linux. The problem is not new, I found some mails in this list (archive) and on http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/#Bugs too.

I am just wondering what the criteria is for getting something added to the rsync resouces page, http://samba.anu.edu.au/rsync/resources.html. I have recently been working on a small little program, RSBackup, that I use to backup my computers to each other. Limiting the concern of a hardware failure causing me to lose any of my bits. Basically it takes the tutorial by Mike Rubel on using rsync

rsync is optimized to conserve network resources, sometimes at the expense of CPU resources. As long as CPU's are fast and networks are slow, rsync with compression does a great job. However, if I run rsync on a slow box (166MHz Ultra SPARC) over a fast network (100Mb/s), the compression kills the transfer rate. I turned compression off and I should be done rsyncing my files (60GB)
