similar to: rsync clobbering links?

I have looked on the mailing lists and through rsync documentation but those still haven't solved my problem. I may be calling rsync incorrectly but the problem I have is that the exclude file seems to be ignored. My final goal is to replicate an entire host, excluding some files that contain specific IP, hostname configuration things. I'm trying to start small by mirroring a

I've been using the --keep-dirlinks feature of 2.6.3pre1. I also use -x (--one-file-system) and --delete-after. The symlinked directories on the receiver are symlinked to a partition other than the one where the target of the rsync resides (that's the whole point of this nifty --keep-dirlinks feature). I discovered that the symlinked directories are not being processed for deletions.

Hello. Recently, I started using rsync to backup files in my root partition on an Ensim box over to a remote machine. The remote machine 'pulls' from the Ensim box using the following: rsync -arvzx --exclude=/proc --exclude=/tmp --exclude=/mnt --delete --delete-excluded -e ssh 192.168.0.1:/ /bkup/rootpart/ The problem is, if I 'df' the Ensim box, it reports that the entire

There is a new patch named "delete-during.diff" in the CVS "patches" dir. This patch adds the ability for rsync to incrementally delete files in each directory during the normal course of the transfer rather than doing a separate delete scan either before or after the transfer. The patch renames the current --delete option into --delete-before and makes --delete behave in the

I'm using 2.6.3pre1 to transfer a rather large Debian archive (126GB, more than 30 million files). It contains about 450 daily snapshots, where unchanged files are hardlinked between the snapshots (so many files have hunderds of links). It's been running for some time now, and I found that while it's far from done, it's already used 165GB on the receiving end. Investigation shows

I have a bit of an issue with rsync. I am using to keep directories in sync via another server for backup. Here is the server config [w1] path = /w1 comment = w1 web dir [w2] path = /w2 comment = w2 web dir Now on the client i run this command rsync -avv --delete --force domain.com::w1/ /w1/ It will NOT delete anything that is no on the server anymore.. for example on the server/client there

Hi, sorry if this is old stuff, but I did my best to look first... Have been getting errors along these lines: mv mydir mdir.2002 ln -s mydir.2002 mydir Then update mirror with rsync -av --delete-after. Without --delete-after, no problem, with --delete-after, get a code 23. The attached shell script will recreate the error (on my machine, at any rate). Just run it from a clean directory.

Hi, we do a 1:1 backup from our main raid to a backup raid every night with rsync -a --delete /mnt/raid1/ /mnt/raid2 rsync is 3.09, filesystems are ext3, OS is SLES 11 SP1. The rsync process takes several hours, even if no file has changed at all. Using -vv I see that rsync compares all files every time and that takes long for some hundreds of millions of small files. Can I tell rsync it

I have the following 3 commands which are supposed to run every night to back up my web server: rsync -avve ssh --numeric-ids --delete --ignore-errors myuser at myisp.com:/usr/home/myuser /Volumes/Downloads rsync -avve ssh --copy-links --numeric-ids --delete --ignore-errors myuser at myisp.com:/usr/home/myuser/mail_boxes /Volumes/Downloads/myuser/mail_boxesBU rsync -avve ssh --copy-links

hi. I know this is a big topic on the list, please forgive me. rsync -avv --include "/film/jonah/**/sourceimages/*.tif" --exclude "*" /film /tmp i'm trying to copy all *.tif 's that are in a */sourceimages/ directory and that are only under /film/jonah. i would like to copy the directory tree and tif files to /tmp i was able to copy ever tif with: rsync -a

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

Hello, I bumped in to issue with rsync 2.5.6 while doing "sync" of large files. Here is the error message....

This is a patch made by the redhat folks. I noticed it in their src.rpm for rsync while I was updating it for 2.5.7. I figure at the worst, it's a nice bit of protection. It would be cool to get this put into CVS. -- Kees Cook kees@kernel.org -------------- next part -------------- --- rsync-2.4.6/main.c.foo Fri Aug 17 11:46:03 2001 +++ rsync-2.4.6/main.c Fri Aug 17 11:45:37 2001 @@

Hello! I need to do rsync between local drives on win32. Rsync works, but it never ends. I started it with -vv and it writes something like: total: matches=0 tag_hits=0 false_alarms=0 data=0 And then it stays forever. :-( Could you help me?

Hi, I only want to preserv symlinks when copying but rsync deletes the leading "/" on the target system or does nothing regarding to the options I use. My Symlink on the Source Filesystem : serviceWeb -> /users/service/.public_html results to: serviceWeb -> users/service/.public_html on the destination Filesystem Has anyone an idea ?? Thank?s Clemens

Hi, I want to mirror NetBSD on this server: ftp://ftp.univ-orleans.fr/logiciel-libre/netbsd-ftp/ The problem is I dont want to mirror old versions (1.5.x) There are 1.5* branches as subdirs of 'packages' and others at the root of the server called 'NetBSD-release-1-5' and 'NetBSD-1.5.3'. I want to avoid to sync them. The command I use to sync is: - - - - - - - - - - -
