similar to: daily back (incremental backup )

Dear Manoj, Have found out the mistake in my script. One must create directory if he/she wants to move old files to backup directory. In my script I was not creating any new backup-dir(datewise), therefore despite of have -b --backup-dir flags it was not working. This means rsync can only create automatically new direcotry for destination but not backup-dir !!!! Am I correct? Bipin ---

Hello, I am using rsync v2.5.6 to backup our entire server filesystem over the network to a central backup server. I have copied the example script from the rsync website (http://rsync.samba.org/examples.html) to create incremental backups, the --backup-dir seems to have a strange side-effect. Everything goes well, but on the server side where the backup is stored I can't seem to break out

Hello, I'm new to this and am trying to modify the "backup to a central backup server with 7 day incremental" script from http://samba.anu.edu.au/rsync/examples.html to suit my situation. I have ended up with the script attached below and when running it from command line I get these errors: rsync error: syntax or usage error (code 1) at main.c(726) and a plethora of this >

I am using the 'backup to a central backup server with 7 day incremental' example to archive three separate computers to identically configured (apart from name) shares on a Western Digital 'MyBookLive' NAS which has rsync enabled. The backup from two Raspberry Pi Computers operates without a problem but the backup from a Fedora 32 computer fails with an 'unknown module

Hi folks, What is the purpose of following statements? [ -d $HOME/emptydir ] || mkdir $HOME/emptydir rsync --delete -a $HOME/emptydir/ $BSERVER::$USER/$BACKUPDIR/ Expecting reply. Baskar

Need to understand exactly what the "--delete" flag does when rsync runs. Here is my understanding... If a file is created on the source machine on monday, then rsync'd to the rsync server on monday night, then deleted on the source machine tuesday, then it will be deleted from the rsync server on tuesday night when the cron job runs again. But, would rsync under any circumstances,

Hello Dovecoters, I am using dovecot-2.2.10-8.el7.x86_64 on RHEL 7.4 When I backup mdboxes (using SIS) using this command doveadm -Dv -o plugin/quota= sync -1f -u user1 at user.com mdbox:/mailbackup/user1 mails get backedup but all m files are not copied. Last file copied is m.4 If I run the command again I get below error I tried with doveadm backup command as well (many times).

Hi, Suppose I have a compiz key-binding (let's say Ctrl and +) that performs a particular action (let's say maximization) and the current active application (say xterm) also does something with the same key-binding (zoom in xterm) - compiz handles the event and does not pass it on to the application. Is this desired behavior? Is the behavior configurable? Shouldn't compiz handle it

What is the minimum version required for Compiz to run? Is it OpenGL 1.5 or OpenGL 2.0? -Bipin -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/compiz/attachments/20090126/985c425a/attachment.htm

Hello All, I'm kishore, new to this group. I'm using rsync to backup the Directory from local system to remote system. I'm using the command: rsync -rlt PATH(path of the filename to be backed up) IPAddress:/Path (where the file has to be backedup). I'm able to backup the directory, but some files are found missing.Please help me in solving this.thanks in

I'm attempting to setup rsync to do backups of a remote system. I'd like to make it passwordless. The trouble I'm running into is I run sshd with PermitRootLogin Off for obvious security reasons. This means that I can't use rsync over ssh to the root user. Instead what I thought of was sshing to the machine I want to backup via a seperate user that is added to the sudoers file and

So I'm trying to write up a short script to do some backups over rsync. The goal is to have multiple client machines push the backups to the backup server nightly. The backup server will have a complete copy of the selected directories as well as revisions for the last 7 days. Here is the brief script I have. Btw if you're wondering about all the variables, I eventually want to set it to

Hello, I have a situation where a zfs file server holding lots of graphic files cannot be backed up daily with a full backup. My idea was initially to run a full backup on Sunday through the lto library on more dedicated tapes, then have an incremental backup run on daily tapes. Brainstorming on this, led me to the idea that I could actually stop thinking about incremental backups (that may always

Normally I would use the --link-dest option to do this but I can't since I'm rsyncing from a Mac to a Samba share on a Linux box and hard links don't work. What I want to do is create a 10 day rotating incremental backup. I used the first script example on the rsync examples page as a template. The only thing I changed was the destination to be a local directory and paths for

I've spent quite a lot of the day trying to construct a fairly standard line plot in R, and I have the feeling there is a simple way that I haven't discovered. I have a large vector of measurements (TIME), and each measurement falls into one of three categories (PHASE). For each PHASE value, I want a mean of the corresponding TIME measurements plotted as a point along with

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

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Obviously you can ssh an rm -rf. Alternatively, if you are in a restricted environment where you are only allowed to use rsync you can rsync --delete an empty directory to it.

Hi, I am runing rsync --backup --backup-dir=$BACKUPDIR where the BACKUPDIR=$(date +%d) to recycle the $BACKUPDIR in a month. But rsync does not clean the $BACKUPDIR before writing to it in cycling. I guess you have to clean it manually before the rsync can write to it. As my $BACKUPDIR is in remote machine, do you have to run ssh to delete it first before calling rsync in a script? Or if there

Hi all, I have the following situation: Backup /mysource to /backupdir, /backupdir/full ---------an old full backup /backupdir/back2 -------previous increment backup(based on the full backup mentioned above) /backupdir/back1 ------most recent increment backup (based on the two backups mentioned above) How can I merge the two increment backups into one directory,say
