Hi NG, I want to do incremental backups to a remote server running rsyncd (because daemonless transfer via ssh often hangs!). In contrast to transfer via ssh (without remote rsyncd) this doesn't seem possible, or do I miss something? Imagine I want to incrementally backup `mydir' to the backup space `backup' on e remote server `alpha' running an rsync daemon. rsyncd on

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 Kevin, Thank you very much for the response. Actually, I don't think I need to clean the backup dir defined in --backup-dir=<backup dir>, when the contents has already been deleted in the destination (no exist), it will delete from the backup dir as well in next cycle, correct?

Hi all, Here''s what I''ve come up with so far for a pure Ruby Dir.glob for MS Windows. It almost works. The problem right now is the [] notation, which I''m not translating properly into a regex. I haven''t started on the ''**'' notation yet either, but I figure that''s more of a control flow issue. Feel free to disagree with me and/or

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

Dear all, Maybe, I am doing something wrong, but using R-2.5.0 on my Intel-Mac, I have problems using function callNextMethod() in method initialize. I am loading the following code as file "testS4.R": setClass("baseClass", representation(myname = "character", mydir = "character", "VIRTUAL"),

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 >

Greetings! I've ran into a couple difficulties for a particular rsync use-case I'm involved in implementing - hoping someone here might be able to clue me in! I've got an existing linux box, with a particular directory that needs to be mirrored onto another server, into a different base path on that server - i.e.: server1:/var/lib/bar/ to server2:/backupdir/var/lib/bar/ Now,

Hello, In a small environment I have to backup two servers, an Ubuntu 9.10 and a Windows Server 2008 machine. My Backuphost is a Ubuntu 9.10 machine as well. I installed rsync on both Ubuntu hosts from repository (3.0.6) and cwrsync from http://www.itefix.no/i2/node/10650 (3.0.7). Then I wrote some Bash-Scripts which executes rsync every week like that: BACKUPDIR=/var/backup rsync -v -a

Hi, I would like to compare a backup dir with a directory list in --compare-dest= but I don't know how to specify this list. If a have only one dir it's ok, but if I have 2 or more dir I have an error ? Here is my script: #!/bin/bash SSH_USER= SSH_HOST= TOBCK=/ EXCLUDES=/root/bckscript/ns200176/excludes LOG=/root/bckscript/ns200176/rsync_$(date +'%Y-%m-%d_%H.%M.S').log

Hi All, I try to test rsync on my notebook with Freebsd 5.2 I mount a dir to a win2000 hd with 80 gb free space as the BACKUPDIR after I run a script there are 3 files named dev-ad0s1a.0.200406290920.dump.gz dev-ad0s1e.0.200406290920.dump.gz dev-ad0s1g.0.200406290920.dump.gz end up with filesystem is full.. df show me enough space on local disc if I run the script again I get the error

Since I am using dovecot I do not have courier installed, but Courier had a very handy tool for making maildir folders called `maildirmake` which I used in some automated backup scripts. How do I duplicate maildirmake in dovecot? for example: #!/bin/bash # v1.2a Testing for new dovecot install # Archive mail from folders without [0-9]{4} Maildirs # after they are 21 days old to a yearly folder

Hi, I believe this is kind of a long standing bug though. In R-3.0.1, but this also happened in previous versions, the long version '--outdir' is not recognised: For `R CMD check --outdir=mydir pkg_0.1.tar.gz` we get: Warning: unknown option ‘--outdir=mydir’ But with `R CMD check -o mydir pkg_0.1.tar.gz` we get: * using log directory ‘/home/renaud/Documents/projects/mydir/pkg.Rcheck’

Hi, all, I'm looking a utility for removing a directory from within R. Currently, I'm using: foo <- function(...) { mydir <- tempdir() dir.create(mydir, showWarnings = FALSE, recursive = TRUE) on.exit(system(sprintf("rm -rf %s", mydir))) ## do some stuff in "mydir" invisible() } However, this is assumes "rm" is available. I know of

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
