similar to: --link-dest doesn't work

I've been looking throught the archives for a set of things to be done to migrate a install with samba 3.2.5 (lenny) to another server (wheezy) I can cope with the name change, that's no problem, but I'd like to avoid having to recreate the users on the new server, so far I tried this, without much success - scp the smb.conf to the new server - make hot backups cd /var/lib/samba

Running rsync 3.0.6 on OS X 10.5.7 (on a MacBook Pro) and using the -b flag (and -v --verbose), the "backup_dir" is reported in the output, but sometimes on STDOUT and sometimes somewhere else. Note that the rsync daemon running on the "server" is 2.6.9 (on another MacBook Pro, OS X 10.5.7) For example, in bash, this happens: axe-MBP:bin work$ /usr/local/bin/rsync

Hi, How about adding now option '--backup-only' that means making backups only and don't change any destination files? (I posted similar patch a month ago, but the patch was made for nightly snapshot of 20020808, which was tooo old! Laugh at me...) I want to use rsync with LVM snapshot to make incremental backups like below: 1) Make LVM snapshot of file system and mount it.

Hello, I just narrowed down an rsync command that keeps failing to the --delete flag: rsync -vv --delete --backup-dir=backup_target --archive /etc myuser@localhost: It gives the following output: ... backup_dir is --delete/ building file list ... done Invalid file index: 1868985864 (count=0) [receiver] delta-transmission enabled rsync error: protocol incompatibility (code 2) at sender.c(189)

I am having a problem using the backup_dir option of rsync. The command being used is basically rsync --archive --delete --backup --backup_dir=PathToBackup/save user@fromsystem:FilePath/ PathToBackup/ The feature that is unique to this problem is that the "save" directory is under the path where the files are being backed up. Fortunately, rsync is clever enough to not delete

Dear All, I found a workaround for the corrupted backup app package files though there is probably a more intelligent way. When the destination is empty or missing (rather than an update) rsync.c calls make_backup and returns 1 when it encounters if (x_lstat(fname, &sx.st, NULL) < 0) return 1; the calling code in rsync.c: if ( make_backups > 0 && overwriting_basis) {

Hello, I suspect a minor bug in the file rsync-2.5.4/backup.c line 206. To identify too-long pathnames, it makes the following test: if (strlen(backup_dir) + strlen(fname) > (MAXPATHLEN - 1)) I think that the constant subtracted off should be 2, to account both for the forward-slash and for the trailing zero in the following snprintf statement, line 211: snprintf(keep_name, sizeof

Greetings, I have written a patch for rsync-2.6.1pre-2 which adds a --time-limit=T option. When this option is used rsync will stop after T minutes and exit. I think this option is useful when rsyncing a large amount of data during the night (non-busy hours), and then stopping when it is time for people to start using the network, during the day (busy hours). If this patch is accepted it may

I''ve begun using Hiera in combination with Foreman, primarily storing data that is best left in Array/Hash form. I''d like to be able to have a module, in this case BackupPC, query all the Hiera data for each node where the backup directories/databases are stored. Then use all that information on the BackupPC server to generate proper configuration files for each

Greetings, Upon a suggestion to improve the --timelimit patch, I have also added a --stopat option. You can get the patch from this URL and/or cut/paste it from below. http://www.terry.uga.edu/~jft/rsync-timelimit-stopat.patch.gz Here are the details... --timelimit=T This option allows you to specify the maximum number of minutes rsync will run for. This time starts when

Hi, The patch below adds a "--ignore" option to rsync, which means "--exclude-but-dont-delete-even-if-we-specified--delete-excluded". I need this for a few tasks, the simplest of which is to have rsync resist trying to delete NetApp filers' ".snapshot" directories. The change is fairly simple (the boolean filter returns become tri-state), and works for me both

Hi. I'm trying to back up from an ext3 filesystem to an IOMega Rev USB cartridge drive, which uses a UDF filesystem. It appears to the system as /dev/scd0, but can be mounted in R/W mode. I get a bunch of errors like this: rsync: mkstemp "/media/usb/backup_dir/home/support/data-old/clipart/STANDARD/STDDIR3/.PE01617_.WMF.M9ACqm" failed: Input/output error (5) There are

Hello, I tried to follow the instructions in the man page, but it doesn't seem to be working for me. I am trying to use rsync as the core of my backup system, remotely connecting to clients over ssh using a key with forced rsync command. The problem is that I want to be carefull not to include network mounts and/or cd/dvds. But, I do want to include seperate mounts, such as /boot and /home.
