During my initial download for my home directory backup, it took rsync over 6 hours to do the initial backup, but I can FTP the stuff in about 30 Mins. Is Rsync usualy this slow? I have compression turned on, and its across a 100 MB/S network, Anyone had this problem before? Steve Sills

What I want to do is use rsync to back up a folder to an external drive. I would like to keep 30 days worth. For example: I have backups of June 1 - June 30. Once July 1 comes along, I want to keep June 2 - July 1 and delete June 1, and so forth. Any ideas how I can accomplish this? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Rysnc-Schedule-tf4104577.html#a11672997 Sent from the

Hi all, I'm new to the rsync list. I've been searching for two days and have tried five different installs and so far none work the way I need them to. I have an "backup" server running rsync --version: rsync version 2.6.6 protocol version 29 Copyright (C) 1996-2005 by Andrew Tridgell and others <http://rsync.samba.org/> Capabilities: 64-bit files, socketpairs, hard

Just built 2.6.1 and started testing it. Nice job guys. I especially love the --progress and hardlink tweaks. Quite often, while I have systems backing up out of cron, I'd love to be able to see the --progress. Unfortunately, it's just not practical to crank up the verbosity like that on a regular basis (some of these systems have a few million files). A neat feature I'd like to see

The rsync faq-o-matic was broken during the recent machine migration. Since there was relatively little useful content and a lot of unanswered or pointless questions, I am going to remove the links to it. If anyone feels like maintaining an FAQ please do so. -- Martin -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed... Name: not available Type:

Hi, I am trying to synchronise two directories on separate machines across a network using rsync, but I want to apply rsync whenever the contents of the directories are altered, rather than using a cron job. Does anyone have any ideas? We are running Redhat9.0. Thanks Henry

Hi, When I use --delete option, it seems to hang for over 8 hours on 4.5Gb of total data. But when I remove the --delete option, I can see it starts rsyncing. Has anyone encounter this problem before? --Tony Shum

Hi there Is there a way with rsync to encrypt data at the source before transmitting? Not talking about the actually transmission, but the data itself. I've got a few department heads that want their data secured before it leaves their computer so that no one in the office can access the data except for them. Thanks.

Hello, we did some research and we would like to try to write a Tcl/Tk wrapper around rsync. Tcl/Tk - - is easy to write - has nice GUI library - is cross platform - has several installers Would somebody be interested to participate? Our goal is - To have a small Windows XP and OS X backup applications that allow the user to select a folder which is sent to a remote server. Incremental

Dear rsync Developers, I am new user to rsync, I have few queries please help me. 1. I want to know whether rsync server and client are available for * Novell servers * Windows 2003 * Windows 2000 server * Windows NT * Windows XP * Xservers * Mac OS X * Mac OS 9 2. I also want to know if my rsync server is on Mac OS X and the clients are Windows (XP/2000/2003) , Novelle Server , Mac OS

I find that rsync is an excellent tool for backing up my large partitions, often over slower links on the Internet. I run a cron job every night to update backup mirrors. But occasionally I make large changes to the source disk, and the rsync update takes more thanb 24 ours to complete. Then I can have two or more rsyncs working over the same source and destination directories. What I really

Hello all, I saw on the Release notes that 2.6.0 is using protocol version 27 which is different than 2.5.7 and 2.5.6. I did a quick peak through the rest of the release notes and quickly browsed the archives on the list and I didn't see any notes on how well 2.6.0 works with older versions of rsync. At our site, we do have 2.5.7 and 2.5.6 installed. Are there any documented problems when

OK, I set up a new PC with a fresh XP load to be my rsync server. Rsync by itself seems to work fine (thank God. I'm going nuts.) I am still having problems when I throw ssh into the mix. At least now, things don't crash, but they do hang. The file list gets build, the transfer starts and it gets through maybe a few hundred files, but then everything stops. All the processes are still

I'm running rsync via ssh on two machines connected with 100 Mbit/s Ethernet cards (at high speed) via a Linksys switch. It's all right here in a single closet. I'm sending large files (initial transfer, nothing preexists on the destination machine) and seeing transfer rates in the 2 Mbit/s range. The CPUs on both machines are more than 90% idle, and I upped the --block-size to 256

Hi everybody - I'm trying to write a Perl wrapper for some rsync tasks that need doing. Problem is, there's some sort of odd interaction going on between Perl and the daemon mode communication for the rsync client, and I'm at my wit's end in trying to figure it out. Here's the Perl script: #####################################################

A recent posting here got me thinking about having the --progress output tell the user about how many files were left to go in the transfer. I submit the attached patch which outputs an extra suffix onto the progress line at the end of each file's transfer (so it only appears once per file, not on every status update). The output would look like this: [...] flist.c 35671 100%
