similar to: symlinks and --compare-dest option

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, following the instructions on https://bugzilla.samba.org/createaccount-save.html, I've applied for a bugzilla account at bugzilla-maintenance at samba.org but didn't receive a reply, so I report through this list. With --link-dest the search for a candidate to link from, follows symlinks in directory path components, when the path element is a directory in the source tree but a

I'm translating rsync.1, and i'm having some problems with the --compare-dest option description, actually i dont understand the part which describes the usefulness of this option, it says : This is useful for doing transfers to a new destination while leaving existing files intact, and then doing a flash-cutover when all files have been successfully transferred (for

Hi, I've been attempting to use --compare-dest DIR SOURCE/ DEST/ If a file exists in DEST but is different to the corresponding file in DIR, then the file is updated in DEST. This is what I would expect. I have found that files which do not exist in DEST but do exist in DIR and SOURCE, are not created. Simply touching the file in DEST causes it to be updated. This behaviour seems

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, 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

The following backup script works fine for test cases but for doing a backup of 750 MB, the directory daily.1 has a subdirectory daily.0, that is, there is daily.1/daily.0 daily.2/daily.1 daily.3/daily.2 The directory daily.0 has nothing strange, no unusual links at the top level neither hard or soft. Also, the original directory has not unusual links. All directories are in the same

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
