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

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 --

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 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

Hi, I want to backup data from my computer located at home to a server located anywhere else and accessible through the Internet at any time. Does anybody know any provider offering a storage service and an rsync server service ? Thank you very much for your answer ... Xav

Hi all, I try to use rsync with the option --acl but it doesn`t work. send_acl : sys_acl_get_file(haservices, SMB_ACL_TYPE_ACCESS): Operation not supported Does my rsync-package don`t support acls or what is going wrong here? How can I ensure that my rsync version is compiled with acl support? info: rsync-2.6.2-8 (rpm from sles9) cheers Stefan

All I am having a problem with rsyncing 2 directories in my network. Here is the situation: 1. I have a directory tree on the 1 server say: SOURCE 2. I have to rsync this directory tree on a backup server, say: Backup 3. This is a huge tree (about 8-9 GB) that grows by about 2-3 % a day. 4. What I did is... I gzipped the tree on a HD and restored it on the backup server 5. The file permissions

Hi, Well, I need the procedure or how to do a full backup of archives to a directory. Then, do incremental backups in different directories. For example: source-dir to dest-dir a full backup. incremental of sources-dir and differential of backup-dir in `date +%m%h%y` Then, i should have a full backup in the dest-dir and incremental+diferential backup in every $DATE directory. Any ideas? I try

Suppose we have about 1000 files at location 'A' & 500 files at location 'B' & we want them to be transmitted to each other (not exactly synchronizing two location). RSYNC can do that, no issues on that. But i have few queries further. My first query: 1. Can we make some sort of queuing procedure alongwith or through RSYNC. Like in which we can provide priorities to

Does rsync support acl and xattr (as with acl and user_xattr mount options)? I saw some acl patches for rsync, so probably it's not officially blessed yet. However, I didn't see any xattr patches - although some talks about it on the list go back into year 2003. So how it is with support for these? If I backup a Samba server, which has a filesystem mounted with acl,user_xattr (with

Hello Everyone I need to restore 1 server to another and need a script Heres what I would like to do is restore a server from #1 to #2 * Rsync the following files and folders to server2 from server1 exactly where they are on server1 so /etc/file.conf on server1 goes to /etc/file.conf on server2 * They need to keep the same permissions and owner/group as well * I was thinking

Hi all, I'm attempting to build a backup system using rsync and subversion. I have a samba share which I would like to replicate via rsync. The replicated copy is under subversion control to store a 'history'. This appears to work well until a directory is removed on the primary (non-backup) file system. The rsync command which I assumed would do the job: $ rsyc -zrv

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

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

Hi All, I would to rsync data spread of many files from remote site. Each file may exist in total different location - the path for each file may be different. My question is: Can I do it one single rsync command, giving a file containing list of paths as parameter, or do I need to run rsync for each file. I did not find any option doing it in the man page. I tried to play with

Hi, I have searched the whole internet and mailing list and I was unable to find a clear answer to this. The method described in the FAQ [1] are not useful for me. Three machines source, middle, target. ssh into middle from source requires password pass_middle. ssh into target from middle requires password pass_target. One cannot reach target from source. So I can do: source $ ssh middle
