similar to: how to mirror only selected directories?

Hi-- Ok. I?ve now run into the next thing I can?t find in man, and this time, I googled as well: --exclude /afs/\* I thought you could just say: --exclude /afs/* or even --exclude /afs/ To exclude the entire afs directory. Can you explain what the purpose of the \ and * are here? Thanks again :) All My Best, Jeffrey on 8/6/06 5:00 AM, rsync-request@lists.samba.org at

I am having a bit of a problem with rsync 2.6.2 on AIX and I was wondering if this might just be the expected behavior. When using the -o and -g flags, the user and group names are NOT preserved on the receiving side, however, the UIDs/GIDs are preserved. I checked the OLDNEWS file and bugzilla, but could not find any reference to a problem like this. Vitals: -rsync 2.6.2 with security patch

I am looking for documentation on creating the secrets file. man -k rsync on my system doesn't have any reference to how to create a secrets file. Also, rsync.samba.org didn't seem to have documentation either. Any pointers? -- -- David Bear College of Public Programs at Arizona State University

Hi! Is there a possibiliy to tell rsync only to copy files less than eg 10Mb of size? I'm running a dedicated backup-server, and would like to skip backing up my downloaded iso-files. They can bee downloaded again if requeired ;-) -- Henning Wangerin <mailinglists-after-041101_reply-not-possible@hpc.dk>

Hello I have been using cwRsync on some Windows boxes, backing up to a Linux server. I have found some issues which files being open and not being copied etc, so I decided that I would log the output from the rsync command on the Windows clients so that I can look at them. On the Windows boxes, I put the rsync command in a batch file and run that automatically each evening. However, if I simply

Hi, We use rsync to share data between two remote sites. We are using rsync after configuration of the rsync.conf file. I created a module in the file with the relevant entries and permissions. The problem is that I get "connection refused ", when I try to run rsync in the following way: root@rsync1-mpg:/root# rsync ptsinf01.pt.intel.com:: rsync: failed to connect to

Hi there Is there a commercial license for using Rsync or the Rsync algorithm within a commercial product? I appreciate that Rsync as it stands is GNU and therefore it cannot be used in this way, but I thought that I would ask the list. I understand that it is open source, but we have an application that would benefit from something like Rsync and therefore thought we would ask the question. If

I was under the impression that --include and --exclude worked by matching patterns in the order given, and whichever matched first, whether that was an include or exclude determined the action for that file. I have a big directory from which I am attempting to transfer selected files. I want all files where the first level directory is anything, the second level directory is "2005"

Hi All, I've been using the great file-attr-restore script with rsync to get around problems with uid's on a portable hard drive... It's the perfect solution for me. (for those that haven't seen it,you can get it here: http://samba.org/ftp/unpacked/rsync/support/file-attr-restore ) Anyway, I found a small bug in the script. file-attr-restore fails for file names with dollar

Hi folks, I am hoping someone here can offer some suggestions. Here is my situation: I am using rsync over the internet for several hundred clients to keep them in sync with a master repository of files. The rsync daemon is listening on port 80, because most of the clients are behind firewalls that only allow outbound port 80 (and other common ports). This works fine for most of them

Hi rsync devs and users, I want to use rsync to synchronize home directories on two PCs. It works fine if I start rsync after working on a host each time I leave. But instead of operating modes "host1 -> host2" and "host2 -> host1" I would like to have a mode "host1 <-> host2" to allow synchronizing at any time -> Scenario: - on host1 files A,B have

I have another small feature suggestion, it should not cause such a stir as the whole "file list" issue (I kind of wish I never said anything about it :) ). What about adding a "UMASK" setting to rsync (for use on the command line and/or perhaps rsyncd.conf)? I realize that it may be a problem/conflict with -p, but I think it could be a useful feature. -- Aaron W Morris

HI all, efficiency question for VERY low bandwith networks Suppose I know the list of files that are changed What is the most efficient way to make rsync sync this list. Currently I use --include-from --exclude to generate a 'filelist' but I suspect that client and/or server exchange the list of files in the module to be synced. this traffic can be avoided since the include-from

This is hopefully a simple question. I am trying to escape single quotes like so: abc's >> abc\'s However, I cannot find an easy way to do that with gsub: gsub("'","\\\\'","abc's") # returns "abc\\'s" How can I get a single \ in the output? Thanks, Sean

Back in June I posted about the trouble I've been having backing up some local directories and I'm no further ahead than back then. Link for that discussion: http://lists.samba.org/archive/rsync/2007-June/017882.html In summary: I'm copying nearly a million small files from the main disk in a server to another disk in the same machine. Still on this server, but at a different time,

Dear all, let's assume I have a vector of character strings: x <- c("abcdef", "defabc", "qwerty") What I would like to find is the following: all elements where the word 'abc' does not appear (i.e. 3 in this case of 'x'). Since I am not really experienced with regular expressions, I started slowly and thought I find all word were

Hi all, I have read posts of heat map creation but I am one step prior -- Here is what I am trying to do and wonder if you have any tips? We are trying to map sequence reads from tumors to viral genomes. Example input file : 111 abc 111 sdf 111 xyz 1079 abc 1079 xyz 1079 xyz 5576 abc 5576 sdf 5576 sdf How may xyz's are there for 1079 and 111? How many abc's, etc?

How do I remove a "$" character from a string sub() and gsub() with "$" or "\$" as pattern do not work. > sub("$","","ABC$DEF") [1] "ABC$DEF" > sub("\$","","ABC$DEF") Error: '\$' is an unrecognized escape in character string starting "\$" >

Yes this scenario works on my 2 systems which are at LAN. I made one system as server (192.168.0.20) and registered from other system... it is fine but now there is a different scene. actually there is a registered user named abc at system1 (192.168.0.20) having context [payasyougo] which is used to do outbound calls. we want to use this user's context and account so that when we register

Given vectors of strings of arbitrary length content <- c("abc", "def") searchset <- c("a", "abc", "abcdef", "d", "def", "defghi") Is it possible to determine the content String set that matches the searchset in the sense of 'startswith' ? This would be a vector of all strings in content that start with
