similar to: --delete option

Hello, This is my first post to the list. Is it possible to specify the --link-dest option server-side in the rsyncd.conf file? What I'd like to do is implement incremental snapshot backups without having to change the clients which all just do regular dumps to the rsync server. I'd like to specifiy this option on the server rather than on the client because I don't want to

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

Hello, I'm trying to do backups with rsync through ssh.

I noticed that rsync sometimes miscalculates the permissions of the top-level destination directory when --perms is off. For example, run these commands in an area free of default ACLs: umask 0000 mkdir -p src/foo chmod 700 src src/foo rsync -r src/ dest/ find . -ls 763054 0 drwx------ 4 matt matt 96 Feb 16 17:57 . 763158 0 drwx------ 3 matt matt 72 Feb 16

There's a rather old bug report in Debian's bug tracking system (see http://bugs.debian.org/27126) about wanting to be able to specify the maximum file size, as well as the minimum file size. Here's the text: Sometimes, it's useful to specify a file size range one is interested in. For example, I'd like to keep an up-to-date mirror of Debian, but I currently

Hi I have a problem with rsync and the -c option. I think understand what it does, but I'm not sure, it does it correctly. But then I guess, perhaps I don't understand what it does... :-) I use "rsync version 2.6.8 protocol version 29" I use the following command: /opt/rsync/bin/rsync -av --link-dest=/home/user/backup/old /home/user/source

Hello all, I want to copy all files on the SRC side to the DST side without deleteing any from the DST side. However, whenever I run rsync the files on the DST side are deleted if they were deleted from the SRC side. What am I doing wrong? I am running the following command: ======================================================== rsync -avz --progress --force --delete-excluded

I know that there are a million messages from newbies who cannot get --delete to work. This message is special. :) --delete works fine for me EXCEPT when the following two conditions are present: 1) I am using the --relative option, and 2) the deleted file is in a subdirectory of the SRC directory. Here is a demonstration of how to recreate this bug: lenny@mythtv:/tmp$ rsync --version rsync

If you use mtime, then it will be deleted "ndays" after the last modification date on the file -- NOT the time the file was moved into the recycle bin. If you use ctime - that

Hello fellas, Firstly, I would like to apologize for the post being long, but I would appreciate if someone with a good knowledge of the subject gave his opinion. I am working on a backup solution for a series of old and very specialized host computers in aviation industry.

Dear Folks, I have to backup pgsql database dump everynight on a routine. The database dump actually contains sql(text) statements. The actual size of the database dump is aroung 800 MB. Between two days backup, only few lines of statements are modified/added/deleted. I dont want to do incremental backup. Instead, I want everyday's full dump to be stored on to a folder named DD-MM-YY(ex:

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

I am trying to use rsync for making snapshots, sharing hardlinks at the destination using the --link-dest option. In conjunction with this, I would like for --dry-run to report some reliable-ish number for how much space it is going to consume at the destination so that I can arrange to free such space prior the launching rsync "for effect". Right now, that isn't working: #

Have a directory with a bunch rpms in it, mostly x86_64. Have another directory with a bunch, mostly 'noarch'. Some of the noarch files are already in the x86_64 dir and don't want to overwrite them. They are on the same physical disk, so really, just want the new 'noarch' files hardlinked into the destination. sitting in the noarch dir, I tried: rsync -auv
