Hi all! I want to sync/copy a tree from a remote system to my local computer. Let 's say they are completly synced. When I do rsync remote.computer:/storage /new-storage --compare-dest=/ -a -v As expected rsync does not copy the files but copies/recreate the symlinks in the new folder. Is there a way to suppress this (the creation of the links) when they are the same? Tobias

Hi, I would like to compare a backup dir with a directory list in --compare-dest= but I don't know how to specify this list. If a have only one dir it's ok, but if I have 2 or more dir I have an error ? Here is my script: #!/bin/bash SSH_USER= SSH_HOST= TOBCK=/ EXCLUDES=/root/bckscript/ns200176/excludes LOG=/root/bckscript/ns200176/rsync_$(date +'%Y-%m-%d_%H.%M.S').log

Hello, Say one starts with creating an archive rsync work -> archive and periodically (below, i = 1 to N) does rsync --backup-dir=a_<i> work -> archive and rsync --compare-dest=archive work -> b_<i> Then suppose one wants to recover the work directory as it was at time k. Using the b_<i> directories, one would merely merge

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.

Hi all. A while ago (April 15th or so) I posted a patch that allows rsync to take multiple --compare-dest or --link-dest arguments, allowing fetching of files not present in multiple trees. I never got any feedback on it, though, so I'm picking it up again. :) Is there any interest in such a patch at all? Below is the usage example i outlined back then; --start-- [...] Its primary usage is

Hi folks, I have a bunch of directories to mirror via rsync. I have lots of hardlinked files spread about these directories. Therfore I use -R (--relative) and -H. so far ok but: I create symlinks to the source-directories via script because src-dirs have changing names (date and time of backup) and I want to have constant directory names on target. How can I achieve that? I thought -k

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
