hi! i want to use rsync for backup to central storage. from emc networker i know some nice feature - it`s telling about "changed files during save" - i.e. i know which files have changed their contents while being backed up. for example you can see if shutdown of some oracle database was forgotten and that database was backed up online accidentally. what`s the rsync equivalent to

Hello I run rsync on a server and I backup our office PCs to it using cwRsync on Windows PCs. The command I use to backup these PCs is: rsync -vbalz --stats --backup-dir=/yesterday_backups/ --exclude-from="exclude_list.txt" --files-from="include_list.txt" --rsh="ssh" . username@mydomain.com:/path/to/folder On the server, I have the rsync service started at

Given two directories "foo" and "fooprime", can I have rsync make a file or directory "d", that contains the differences between these two directories such that I can take d and apply it to foo to get fooprime, or take fooprime and reverse-apply d to it to get foo? I'm not sure that the --backup and --backup-dir options to rsync will give me exactly what I want.

I'm writing a wrapper around a large number of rsyncs that need to happen, and it would be great if I could parse the output of a running rsync and find out how far along it is. To do this, I would need to know how many files the rsync is going to transfer. If I run 'rsync -avz --progress', it tells me how many files it is considering, but not how many it actually needs to update.

Hello ! I`m trying to find a way to use lzo compression for the data being transferred by rsync. rsync only supports gzip (or maybe ssh -c, which is also zlib), which gives cpu intensive workload - and this cannot be exchanged by a commandline param like we have with tar (--use-compress-program=....) i like to use lzo because it does much faster compression than gzip. I read the following in

Yep I tried those two options, and nothing... Even if the pre-user conf files have a log file in the same directory, which I touch before trying, messages keep going to syslog... I tried with 666 permissions on rsyncd.log too just to make sure... The following is one of the user's conf file, hope theres a clue. Thanks! log file = /home/pluto/rsyncd.log <<< This is the problem!!

hi i try to include and exclude file when i do a rsync #!/bin/sh # directory to backup BDIR=/home/collinm/test/home # includes file - this contains a wildcard pattern per line of files to exclude INCLUDE=include.txt # excludes file - this contains a wildcard pattern per line of files to exclude EXCLUDE=exclude.txt OPTS="-a -r -v -p -t --delete-before --exclude-from=$EXCLUDE

I am having trouble running rsync over a mapped drive. Basically it only copies whole files. I use the -rvcS switches. Any suggestions?

I''m running 2.6.6 on a red hat EL3 system. using the following command, rsync -rlptDvzL --stats --include=a/ --include=a/dir/ --include=a/dir/symlink/ --include=a/dir/symlink/dir2/ --include=a/dir/symlink/dir2/dir3/ --exclude=''**'' /export/stuff remote::stuff I expect the "symlink" (which is really a symbolic link to a directory) to be preserved on the

I have a scenario where I am copying from a local system to remote target and need to remove the local source files once they have been successfully transfered. --remove-source-files works fine for this. An issue has come up in that I need to be able to backup the removed local source files as well. With rsync 2.6.9 I tried: rsync --remove-source-files --backup-dir=/archive –abv (source)

I wrote a patch for rsync 2.6.6 that changes two things: (1) When the receiving rsync creates a file in a directory with a default ACL and `--perms' is off, rsync uses the default ACL instead of the umask to calculate the new file's permissions. All programs that just use `open' and don't do an explicit `chmod' are forward-compatible with default ACLs, but rsync always sets

Hello, I was reading your posts about RSYNC. We have a massive Oracle schema lots of datafiles about 750 GB size. We do rsync datafiles from source to target server but everytime we cleanup the datafiles on the target server and do rsync every 2 weeks. On the target side mostly the datafiles will be same but on source we might have added few datafiles or made some changes in data and as such the

Hi, When I have my rsync daemon running, I get all log messages in a custom format in the file /var/log/rsyncd.log. This is very convenient as I can cron a script to grep it and mail me a summary of activity every day and then create a fresh file. I have now switched to using rsync over ssh, so I stopped the rsync daemon, and every user has an authorised ssh key and a *custom* rsyncd.conf (with

Hi, Can someone tell me the status of ext3 acl support in rsync? I saw this post from may 2004 which seems to indicate there is a patch. http://lists.samba.org/archive/rsync/2004-May/009466.html But it still appears that 2.6.6 doesn't have any acl support included. Is that true? Does anyone know where to get the latest patch for 2.6.6 if it even exists? Thanks Paul --

Hi, I'm very interested in learning the status of the --ignorecase patch being included in the main tree... is there a reason it still isn't in there? For anyone who is forced to dealing with backing up windows boxes, this is a big problem, and I can't believe that it isn't affecting a lot of people... Or maybe there is a simple workaround? I'm trying to backup files

Hello, Today I succesfully transfered some testfile on my local computer with the following command: rsync -e "ssh" testfile.txt localhost:receive I can also succesfully connect with SSH to a remote server through an http proxy with the following command: ssh -o "ProxyCommand corkscrew myhttpProxy 8080 targetcomputer.domain 22" targetcomputer.domain But I'm so far

Hi all, I'm new to the rsync list. I've been searching for two days and have tried five different installs and so far none work the way I need them to.
