Well, I followed this link: http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/ and implemented it (with a bit of tweaking) on my home network. It is used to make snapshots of two Windows PC's over samba. On one of the machines (and not the other, from what I can tell) it deletes files from the target machine for no good reason (ie. they still exist on the source machine). Then, if I run

Hello All, I have been using rsync to backup several filesystems by using Mike Rubel's hard link method (http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/). The problem is, I am backing up a lot of ASCII .log, csv, and .txt files. These files are large and can range anywhere from 1GB to 30GB. I was wondering if on the target side (the backup side), if I can use some sort of compression. I

Hello list readers, I am doing rsync backups based on Mike Rubels recipe (http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/). I am creating lvm snapshots of partitions whose contents changes fast. In order to verify if evyerthing went ok, I do md5sum checks on all files and everytime some files are failing the test. Here is a list of them: ./amavis/db/__db.001: FAILED ./amavis/db/__db.002:

I read the following hint at: http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/#Incremental mv backup.0 backup.1 rsync -a --delete --link-dest=../backup.1 source_directory/ backup.0/ I simply want to maintain a dated backup of a server so that I could always go back to a certain date.

Hello, I'm trying to figure out how to keep a mirror and 7 day incremental backup between to 2 mount points. I want to rsync everything from /mnt/production/ to /mnt/backup/production/ on the same server. Nothing fancy. But , I Want to utilize the --delete option for files that no longer exist on /mnt/production/ that have been on /mnt/backup/production/ for longer then 7 days. I

I'm trying to configure rsync snapshots as described at http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/. I'm essentially using the following commands: mv backup.3 backup.tmp mv backup.2 backup.3 mv backup.1 backup.2 mv backup.0 backup.1 mv backup.tmp backup.0 cp -al backup.1 backup.0 rsync -a --delete source_directory/ backup.0/ I'm trying to backup two directories in a

I have looked for answers to these two questions on Google, rsync mailing lists, and of course the rsync man page but seem to be coming up blank. First: What is the advantage of using the rsync daemon vs just rsync over ssh? I am hoping for a link to a webpage that details these differences. Second: How does rsync over ssh initiate itself on the remote machine? Here is what I mean. As I

I am looking at rsync 2.6.6 When I try to rsync a directory using --link-dest it never creates hardlinks. After crashing my way through the code here is what I found: generator.c: function 'unchanged_file' if (ignore_times) return 0; return cmp_modtime(st->st_mtime, file->modtime) == 0; shouldn't these lines be: if (ignore_times) return 1;

Hi all, I have installed rsync 2.5.5 as daemons on our 35 Netware servers (no 2.5.6 is yet available for Netware) and do a daily sync from a Linux Rsync client machine with 1.2 TB disk capacity. For the moment we do a daily, weekly and monthly backup on tape of this machine, but I'd like to replace the daily backups by a disc-based setup. It would be good to be able to share the

I am wondering if there are known incompatibilities between 2.6.3 and 2.6.4? I have a debian box with 2.6.4 and a FC3 box with 2.6.3. Most of the time rsync works fine between the two but I am running this command on FC3 box: rsync -azvv --stats --delete --files-from=/root/.rsb2.tmp / nathan@debian:/home/backup/bkp.01 And I am getting this error message: building file list ...

Hello, I'm trying to make incremental backups with rsync (I'm reading http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/ ) But I can't backup a file with old owner when the change on the file is only the owner (content is unchanged). rsync -av -e ssh --link-dest=$PWD/backup.1/ --numeric-ids --delete root@myhost.mydomaine.org:/var/www backup.0 If I look at the owner of

Greetings, I've been using samba for a few years now sharing files from the local filesystems without a hitch. Recently I have tried to throw into the mix read only samba shares of read only nfs mounts. I can browse these shares but any attempt to copy files from them seems to reset the connection. Windows says the resource is unavailable. On the Debian system that is sharing the file I see

Hello, I get hanging rsync-processes while synchronisize windows to linux, starting on linux. The problem is not new, I found some mails in this list (archive) and on http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/#Bugs too. Example of the command: rsync -e 'ssh -i /backup/data/servers/identities/backup.W2000Server -p 22 -x -oForwardAgent=no -oClearAllForwardings=yes' --archive

rsync is optimized to conserve network resources, sometimes at the expense of CPU resources. As long as CPU's are fast and networks are slow, rsync with compression does a great job. However, if I run rsync on a slow box (166MHz Ultra SPARC) over a fast network (100Mb/s), the compression kills the transfer rate. I turned compression off and I should be done rsyncing my files (60GB)

Hi All, I am presently doing a small POC with rsync for incremental backup and restore starategies. I have come up with certain question down the line, can anyone help me with the explanation.

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. I need to do monthly backups of one or two logical volumes (non-OS) on each of the computers and keep the last 12 monthly
