Hi folks, Are there any tricks known to let rsync operate on huge tar files? I've got a local tar file (e.g. 2GByte uncompressed) that is rebuilt each night (with just some tiny changes, of course), and I would like to update the remote copies of this file without extracting the tar files into temporary directories. Any ideas? Regards Harri

I've been reading through the man pages for rsync, yet I can't seem to find a way to provide progress indication and/or current download speed for total and/or individual files... Can this be done with rsync? Is it an implemented feature. I thought -v or -vv would do the trick, but it doesn't... Cheers, -- Dag Rune Sneeggen Romolslia 23B 7029 Trondheim Norway dudcore Inc.

Hello all, I'm not a total newbie, but probably close enough. I have tried to find the answer to this question, but have been unsuccessful. I'm testing out rsync over ssh using empty passphrases between 2 OpenBSD 3.5 boxes using rsync 2.5.7 (yes i know i should upgrade, but can't because of BSD ports issues). Everything seems to be working, but I'm very confused as to why it is

Hello, We are experiencing flaky behavior from rsync when attempting to rsync directories/files to a server in Penang. Several times the job seems to 'hang' and never completes. Penang then is therefore missing a lot of required cad files. Have any of you experienced the same thing and what did you do to fix the problem? Does anyone know of a better tool to use? We chose

Are there any plans to add support for multiple stream copying (BBFTP and GridFTP do this, though only for a single file) to rsync? Thanks, Jason

Hello I did the following command: rsync -a --delete cpbackup /mnt/backup/ It works well, but the problem is that it seens the "temporary files" (ie: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 83623936 Apr 19 2004 .name.tar.gz.yGk7m7* ) are being created on /mnt/backup/ Since it's a SAMBA mounted partition, it waste BW and is slower. Is there a way to specify where I want the temp files to be

Hello all, I am having a problem with rsync. I want to backup data from one machine to another remote machine. I have Freebsd4.7 on source and FreeBSD4.9 on destination machines. rsync is installed on both the machines. I gave the following command at the source machine. rsync -avvznrbe rsh /sourcepath 66.123.34.123:/destinationpath (66.123.34.123 is the destination ip address) Below is the

Hi, I am running cwrsync. 2004/05/11 [93] rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at /home/lapo/packaging/tmp/rsync-2.5.7/main.c(383) I am uncertain as to what this path statement is about in the above error message. /home/lapo/packaging/tmp/rsync-2.5.7/main.c(383) Thanks, Pat -- Patricia Palumbo DuBois & King, Inc. ppalumbo@dubois-king.com 802-728-4113 | ext 322

Sorry, but it seems everytime I setup a different rsync operation (client only) I end up here unraveling the include/exclude stuff I need. The documentation is quite good but I guess the subject is just quite a bit to chew. To cut to the chase: I want to sync up my own snapshot repository of openbsd. The basic install files. They reside at:

Hi all, While trying to mirror a filesystem from one machine to another (for backup purposes) I get the following error: [root@samantha root]# /usr/bin/rsync -qavxzC --delete chandler:/var/ /bigdisk/backup/chandler/dev-md5-var/ root@chandler's password: rsync error: unexplained error (code 24) at main.c(1045) Does this mean anything to anybody?

Hi, I need to back up all of /home on a remote server for which I have root access but cannot (and will not) do root logins via ssh. Of course if I attempt to rsync files that I don't own, rsync skips over them. My account is allowed to sudo, if that helps. How can I use rsync to do the following: rsync -av --compress --progress --delete -e me@SomeRemoteServer:/home

Hello everyone, Here is what I am trying to accomplish. Summary: Using rsync to push journal transaction files from one server to the hot backup server. Rsync script runs every 10 minutes and pushes the files . On the hot backup server these files are applied by a shell script. A purge job deletes files that have been applied from the hot backup server. Unfortunately rsync pushes missing

Hi. I need to create a lot of directories, just the same with remote's /var, but I only need the directories, the files inside those sub-directories in /var/ are not necessary for me. I know "find+cp" can do, but I would like to use the archive mode, i.e. I need the original permision, owner, group... Can I make it using rsync ? If so, please tell me how. Thank you in advance. --

Is it possible to configure rsync in server mode, to gain access to root protected files, without the user having to log in as root through ssh? I'd prefer to login as a regular user through ssh and access an rysnc server on the host that's running as root. As far as I can tell, however, that's not possible...am I wrong?

Hi. I've got 2 Fedora Linux (a Master and a Slave) with RSYNC-2.5.7. I need to keep Master synchronized every 5 minutes (mounting a remote directory with NFS on Slave). It runs correctly. To simulate a problem, I try to disconnect the lan cable. From the shell of Slave: rsync -a -v --timeout=10 --delete /mnt/master/ /local/slave I expect that the process will end after 10 seconds, but

Hi, I am trying to transfer some files to a remote rsync server. I have to preserve the ownership of these files in the remote server for future possibility of copying them back. The command I am using is: rsync -Cav /var/log/mp3log server2::var/log/mp3log I have tried to add -o and -g options but still can't reach my purpose. I also remember to add a same user name to the remote rsync
