I'm rsync'ing an rdiff-backup repository to a different machine and I have a few questions I'm hoping you guys can help me out with. Should I use --archive? Or maybe -rlD instead? Can I restrict an SSH key to rsync? I can do it with rdiff-backup with command="rdiff-backup --server" but I can't figure out how to do it with rsync. The rdiff-backup repository I'm

Hi, i am new to rsync and i want to use rsync to emulate rdiff behaviour (because i can't install rdiff on the system). What i would like rsync to do is to generate a diff file (like with rsync --write-batch) but WITHOUT changing the destination file. This would allow me to store daily differential updates on the target (i think hardlinking would not help me much as the file is changing every

Hi all. (I am sending this querry here because it is somehow relating to rsync. If i am wrong please pardon me.) I am doing following on these windowsXP and Vista. I am trying to get only incremental backup using "rdiff-backup" (that also uses rsync). I have installed gcc compiler and by following the steps given in http://katastrophos.net/andre/blog/2005/11/02/rdiff-backup-on-windows/

hi everyone a good basher around here? I try in a script: _rdiffBack="rdiff-backup -v5 --tempdir /tmp/ --no-eas --exclude-other-filesystems --exclude-symbolic-links" _rdffiExclude="--exclude '**/~*' --exclude '**.tmp' --exclude-regexp '(.glusterfs|.trashcan|temp)'" _execCom=${!2} _sourceDir=${1} _backupTo=${3} __backMeUp() { for _sourceDir in

I'm running RedHat 8.0 with samba-2.2.7-5.8.0 (installed from RedHat distribution) When I use cpio to write a backup (> 2GB) to a smbfs filesystem, I get the error: File size limit exceeded I get the same error when I linux copy (cp) a file (> 2GB) from a Linux ext3 filesystem to the smbfs filesystem. The smbfs filesystem is mounted from a Windows 2000 Professional workstation. After

We have been using ZFS for user home directories for a good while now. When we discovered the problem with full filesystems not allowing deletes over NFS, we became very anxious to fix this; our users fill their quotas on a fairly regular basis, so it''s important that they have a simple recourse to fix this (e.g., rm). I played around with this on my OpenSolaris box at home, read around

What is the best way to keeps rsynced copy of rotate log files ? x.log -> x.log.1 -> x.log.2.gz -> ... Can rsync "notice" changes of file name and avoid needless synchronization ? -- Andrzej [en:Andrew] Adam Filip anfi@priv.onet.pl anfi@xl.wp.pl http://anfi.webhop.net http://slashdot.org/~anfi

After the recent yum update to rdiff-backup-1.2.2-1.el5.rf rdiff-backup no longer works. I don't "speak" python so not sure what's going on. Here's a portion of what I'm seeing... # rdiff-backup /etc/ /backup/localhost/etc Exception '[Errno 34] Numerical result out of range' raised of class 'exceptions.IOError': File

Thanks Donovan, I downloaded the librsync 0.9.6 from sf and it compiled just fine believe it or not in the new visual studio.net. There where warnings but no fatal errors and the exe seems to be running just fine. I've tested it just now on a 60 meg mdb file that I've been trying to backup.. it seems to work great!. I even saved the original so I could apply patches and then file compare

Hi everybody, the following alway gives me the error "Fehler in if (File$X.Frame.Number[a] + 1 == File$X.Frame.Number[a + 1]) (File$FishNr[a] <- File$FishNr[a - : Fehlender Wert, wo TRUE/FALSE n?tig ist". Maybe its stupid, but i'm not getting why... Maybe someone can help me. Thanks a lot! for (i in unique(BigFile$TrackAll)) { File <-

What's the best way to do long-term backups of the Maildir format these days? Traditionally we've just done a rdiff-backup or pointed Bacula at the Maildir. Both give us the option to reset a particular mailbox back to a previous day (any day within the last N months). Do we just need to snapshot the LVM volume that holds all the Maildir boxes, or is there some additional commands

I have been really lax in supporting librsync for the last few months, because of a new job and taking over maintenance of rsync

Would it be possible to make rsync capable to sync gziped source (at server) with non gziped detination file? PROBLEM: The rsyncd server provides a few *frequently* accessed, slow changing, *big* text files (DNS RBL zones). It seems that the source files are too big to stay in memory caches and rsync sessions cause to many hard disk I/O operations. Making rsynd capable to "ungzip"

I'm trying to use the rsync algorithm for incremental backups. After a quick look at rsync I saw the batch mode operations, and I thought that maybe I can modify them for incremental backups. What is needed is to add an option to save the checksums of all the files of the level 0 backup and a second option to use the level n checksum to calculate the delta batch files for the level n+1

Helle everyone, Let's say we have 3 servers, 2 of them have the latest (stable) version of rsyncd running (2.6.9) <Server1> ==> I N T E R N E T ==> <Server2 (rsyncd running)> ==> LAN ==> <Server3 (rsyncd running)> Suppose I want to send a big file (bigfile.big) from Server1 to both Server2 and Server3. It would be a good idea to send first from Server1

Do you think it wold be worthwhile to add command line options to "deliver" and "imap" to make them ignore "system wide" configuration file and use ~/.dovecotrc instead? I would like to use "imap via fetchmail ssh plugin" and "deliver via ~/.forward (to get sieve support)". Such options would allow "cleaner" configuration. --

Dear OpenSSH developers, OpenSSH setting non-blocking mode on its standard files creates serious problems. Setting non-blocking mode violates many of the semantics of how files are supposed to behave and most programs (and most, if not all, stdio libraries) are not prepared to deal with it. That wouldn't be a problem except that non-blocking mode is not a property of the file descriptor but

--delete --force Won't Remove Directories With Dotnames rsync 2.6.9 Me, personally, I reckon this to be an irritant ... but perhaps (and having thought about this a bit I decided it's a good chance) this is an intentional and useful behaviour. But it's a nuisance if you call your --partial-dir .partial, as I happen to do, since now if you remove a directory which was aborted in
