similar to: --compare-dest and missing files

Hi all, I have just migrated my tooling from version 2.6.9 to 3.0.0. Unfortunately my script generated an error message during the execution. Because this command was working perfectly in the previous version I suspect this could be a bug. This is the command that I am executing: rsync -av --link-dest=20080313/ --compare-dest=/data/20080313/ 20080313/ /data/20080314/ It just

Hi again. I just spotted another peculiarity when inspecting the rsync log. When using --compare-dest, source files that have permissions that differ from the "comparables" are not logged, unless you're using -i. Here's a testing session: $ ls -lR .: total 12 drwxr-xr-x 2 vidar users 4096 2005-03-31 14:16 cmp/ drwxr-xr-x 2 vidar users 4096 2005-03-31 14:23 dst/

I must be seriously misunderstanding the man page coverage of --compre-dest. My take was that if a file in compare-dest=dir matches a file in SOURCE/ then it won't be transferred to DEST/. I tried this test. (d1 has single files and 2 subdir with files) cp -a d1 d1a mkdir d2 rsync -avv --compare-dest="./d1a" d1/ d2/ d1a is carbon copy of d1 but still every last file in

Hi, I'm having trouble with --compare-dest, to copy only files that differ in content. Here are the commands used thusfar: rsync -av --checksum --delete --progress --stats --compare-dest=../old new/ new_archive rsync -av --checksum --delete --progress --stats --compare-dest=../new old/ old_archive old/ a.txt new/ a.txt Note: both a.txt are the same (except for a different

Hey. Can anybody spot my mistake? mkdir a b c echo foo > a/test echo foo > b/test rsync -av --compare-dest=b a/ c/ Expected results: no copy of a/test to c/test, since it is already present in b. Actual results: a/test gets copied to c/test What is wrong here? My expectation? my syntax? I'm having the same trouble with --link-dest, and --copy-dest. The behaviour I'm seeing

Hi, I have problem with --compare-dest option. I have backup that copies all files on WINDOWS server to another computer each Monday. On rest of weekdays I want to compare files between production data and once backuped on Monday and copy ONLY changed/new files to third location. I use syntax: rsync -av --delete-excluded --exclude-from=/cygdrive/d/bin/backup/excludes.txt

Hi, I tried it also because it's an old question which has never worked for me. Instead it creates copies and not hard links: pierre at in94:~/tmp$ ls -li a b a: insgesamt 8 257315 -rw-r--r-- 1 pierre pierre 4 Nov 14 10:53 1 257316 -rw-r--r-- 1 pierre pierre 6 Nov

Hi, I just noticed that the value of the '--compare-dest' argument is simply prepended to the DEST argument, even if that has path compnents. For example with this command: rsync -a --compare-dest=$comparedest \ remote::something/1/ \ /local/path/to/1/ if the remote 'something' module has a file called '1/2/3/4/file' (which is going to be mirrored to

Hi all. A while ago (April 15th or so) I posted a patch that allows rsync to take multiple --compare-dest or --link-dest arguments, allowing fetching of files not present in multiple trees. I never got any feedback on it, though, so I'm picking it up again. :) Is there any interest in such a patch at all? Below is the usage example i outlined back then; --start-- [...] Its primary usage is

I am working with rsync on Debian, package version 3.0.9-1. I am trying to use rsync --compare-dest to make a delta-copy of a directory. In my case, the mtimes are all unreliable. The data is the same, but the times are all messed up and always will be. I am trying to use --compare-dest with --checksum or --size-only and it does not work. All files are transferred and the delta copy

Hi all, Being a rsync newbie, I wanted to use rsync for frequent backups that should only contain the changes. First I made copy of the important partition of the remote PC ("gany") using dd and mounted the resulting local file using a loop device under /mnt/gany. Then I tried: rsync -Haziv --compare-dest=/mnt/gany/lib --compare-dest=/data/A/gany.1 \ root@gany:/lib/ /data/A/gany.1

Hi, I want to use rsync to make daily backups using hard-links in this way: rsync -av --delete --link-dest=../backup_old ./source/. ./backup_new This works great, but the problem is, that rsync does not show correctly what action it performs (-v option). It shows correctly all new and changed files/folders, but it does not show files that were deleted. This works only if I do not use the

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 ?
