Dear All I would like to use the command rsync to have a perfect copy of each one of five directories and their contents. How can I do that at once? I know that I can do that directory by directory... but it would not be the fastest way. Thanks in advance, Paul

Hello, I want to be 100% sure that rsync copies something from one location to another. However, I did not see an option which would make rsync retry an operation if it failed for whatever reason (network was down when rsync started, or network went down during rsync was copying something, connection timed out etc.). For example, wget has an option like --tries=number Set number of retries

Hi, from time to time, in times like today where the whole world is grabbing SUSE-9.2 and/or debian-30r4, I really like to condemn those other anon rsync server admins (you know, the successors of the traditional unix ftp server admins). They usually have within their /etc/rsyncd.conf a line like timeout = <very low> because they are thinking "less" there is "better for

Hello All, We have a very high utilization rsync server. We can handle large number of connections at a time, but would like to limit to one connection per client. we don't want multiple connections from the same client. Is that possible? Thanks Saqib http://enterprise20.squarespace.com

Is it possible to sleep 1 second after each file is rsynced? Ofcourse, I can put this in a for loop and do a sleep after each file is done, I was wondering if there was anything native in rsync for this type of operation. TIA

Hi (especially Wayne), ftp.gwdg.de is rsyncing most of the data from about 500 other rsync servers. Especially during the general "high traffic" phases like the release of a new Knoppix ISO or a new SUSE distribution or a new KDE release, I see timeouts with other servers which have maximum traffic at that time. There is a general scheme: 1. rsync is building the data base of the

Hi, I have a bash script for rsync that should tranfer all my filer from one drive to the other. I would like to know how I can make the script sending me an email after the script is run and be able to know if it was a success or not and also if possible to include the log file. This is my script: !/bin/bash rsync -av --delete --log-file=/home/duffed/RSyncLog/$(date

If I perform an local rsync with the 'delete' option over an NFS mount, and the mount point has been unmounted, the rsync will delete what was once on the local box.. For example Machine 1(192.168.0.1) is a live production server with a database within the /DB directory Machine 2 (192.168.0.2) is an idling server, capturing all changes of Machine 1's database. The rsync is done over

Hi, I am trying to transfer a file that has spaces in its name. The rsync gives me below error. Am I doing anything wrong? #ls -l /tmp/test\ file -rw-rw-r-- 1 xxx xxx 0 Jul 5 02:23 /tmp//test file # /usr/local/bin/rsync --archive /u/masanip/ACH/test\\\ file /tmp/mydir/ rsync: link_stat "/tmp/test\ file" failed: No such file or directory (2) Number of files: 0 Number of

Would it be possible to make rsync capable to sync gziped source (at server) with non gziped detination file? PROBLEM: The rsyncd server provides a few *frequently* accessed, slow changing, *big* text files (DNS RBL zones). It seems that the source files are too big to stay in memory caches and rsync sessions cause to many hard disk I/O operations. Making rsynd capable to "ungzip"

dear rsync developers: I use rsync as a convenient synchronization tool. I know it was not made therefore, but it is very convenient. the only drawback I see is that the delete option is "harsh"---if I edit on machine A, and then forget that A is the updated machine, an rsync pull from machine B will delete my new files on A (if I use --delete). most of the time, this is what

I'm trying to set up an rsync daemon on my OS X machine to sync my remote subversion repositories. My config file /etc/rsyncd.conf looks like this: motd file = /etc/motd max connections = 25 syslog facility = local3 [repositories] comment = Subversion Repositories path = /usr/local/repositories read only = no list = yes hosts allow = 127.0.0.1 auth users = username secrets file

Anyone, When attempting to use batch mode to update a second host by executing the .sh file I get: [root@sspfedweb batch]# ./obsession_0000.sh Batch file ./batch/obsession_0000.rsync_flist open error: No such file or directory rsync error: syntax or usage error (code 1) at batch.c(241) Can anyone tell me whatI'm doing wrong. I tar and gzip the batch directory and ftp to the target

Hey all, I'm not sure if anyone has experienced this, and I have searched for it online, with no conclusive, err.. conclusions. Basically, when rsyncing two \test1(local) and \mnt\test2\ (NFS mount) it seems that when using rsync with --no-whole-file entire files (instead of just updated blocks) are sent through. I am using the following command rsync -avtz --no-whole-file \test1\

Hi Rsync/Samba team, First of all, cudos on rsync 2.6.6! It is running exceptionally well. I'm using a script executed by cron to keep warm-backup servers in sync with the primary server. The execution is set to run every 5 minutes. Like any good programmer, this process is *very* paranoid and uses 'wall' to notify the users if any error occurs during the transmissions. This is

Hi Just starting out, and have read through the man and several web page tutorials, and I don?t quite understand some of the options (guess I?ll ask about those as I get to them). The first I see pretty often is ?e. Can someone explain what this does? Thanks :) All My Best, Jeffrey -------------- next part -------------- HTML attachment scrubbed and removed

Hello, I am working on implementing rsync to replace a server distribution mechanism that currently works like this: 1) process new file on backend server 2) upload file to frontend server using scp or rsync over ssh 3) ssh to frontend server to trigger script #3 is only used in a couple special cases I have this tested and working: 1) (same as above) 2) upload file to frontend server using

I use rsync for backing up user data, profiles, important network shares etc. (from several locations over WAN). Overall it works flawlessly, as it transfers only changes, but sometimes there are some serious hiccups. Suppose this scenario, suppose it's 1 GB of files: user shares: /home/joe/data/file1 /file2 /... /file1000 Now the user

My apologies if this has been asked before - I searched the archives but couldn't find it, probably because I'm not sure what terms to use. I'm trying to rsync database backups from point A to point B, where point B has rsync running as a service. Every day I make a new backup on point A (mike_db_20041110.bak), and since there's no matching file on point B, the entire file is
