Hello, I'm new to this and am trying to modify the "backup to a central backup server with 7 day incremental" script from http://samba.anu.edu.au/rsync/examples.html to suit my situation. I have ended up with the script attached below and when running it from command line I get these errors: rsync error: syntax or usage error (code 1) at main.c(726) and a plethora of this >

There are a couple of niggles with the sandboxing of the unprivileged child in the privsep code: the empty directory causes namespace pollution, and it requires care to ensure that it is set up properly and remains set up properly. The patch below (against the portable OpenSSH, although the patch against the OpenBSD version is very similar) replaces the fixed empty directory with one that is

Hello, I am using rsync v2.5.6 to backup our entire server filesystem over the network to a central backup server. I have copied the example script from the rsync website (http://rsync.samba.org/examples.html) to create incremental backups, the --backup-dir seems to have a strange side-effect. Everything goes well, but on the server side where the backup is stored I can't seem to break out

Normally I would use the --link-dest option to do this but I can't since I'm rsyncing from a Mac to a Samba share on a Linux box and hard links don't work. What I want to do is create a 10 day rotating incremental backup. I used the first script example on the rsync examples page as a template. The only thing I changed was the destination to be a local directory and paths for

I am using the 'backup to a central backup server with 7 day incremental' example to archive three separate computers to identically configured (apart from name) shares on a Western Digital 'MyBookLive' NAS which has rsync enabled. The backup from two Raspberry Pi Computers operates without a problem but the backup from a Fedora 32 computer fails with an 'unknown module

I'm attempting to get our Accounting software : Peachtree Premium Accounting to work under Wine in Ubuntu 7.10. The install went smoothly with 0 issues however when i try to run it , it takes about 10s and then exits w/out any errors. So i fired up its database manager since i know it tries to start it first and i get an error message saying Unable to access registry. I've seen that on

I've a particular situation in which I need to sometimes delete one or two files from a remote site. I haven't figured out a way to do it with rsync yet... I've considered playing games with --exclude and --delete but I'm a bit nervous of the chances of mayhem by a simple error. Situation is a remote repository to which files are added on occasion; there is no local copy. On

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 ?

I'm migrating an old UW pop server to a new Dovecot server. The old server did not allow mail to be stored on the server, so only mbox files exist in /var/mail, with nothing in /home/$user. I'd like to copy the /var/mail directory over to the new server and then use dsync to convert the mbox files and put them in /home/$user/Maildir, but every permutation of the command line I've

Hi, I have persistent problems to access the OpenSSH CVS repository as anonymous user, once it has been checked out: $ cvs -d anoncvs at anoncvs.mindrot.org:/cvs co openssh [...works fine...] $ cd openssh $ cvs up cannot create_adm_p /tmp/cvs-serv5471/contrib Permission denied The same happens when trying to use the second repository: $ cvs -d anoncvs at

Hi Arnold, deleting that is a bit rude, and svn will recover it when doing "svn up" next time. A better solution is to cd llvm-gcc svn switch libstdc++ missing This permanently tells svn to see an empty dir instead of the c++ lib. Sabre wanted to put this into the README, dunno if this happened. Cheers, Gabor Arnold Schwaighofer wrote: > Ups just saw i forgot to delete

Hello, I've recently saw a discussion on this list, about a standardised way of emptying POP3 mailboxes on the server - but no solution came up. Please provide a suggestion for the following situation: - I am running a stock POP3 dovecot server, on Fedora 12 (dovecot version 1.2.9) - passwd-file authentication via /etc/imap.passwd - users are virtual, sharing the same UID/GID; -

Hello, here is a preliminary patch allowing rsync 2.5.6 to compile in BeOS (using the new BONE networking stack). Some explanations: - BeOS doesn't have chroot(), - the BONE networking stack export legacy network function for old apps in libnet.so (linked to by default), so it's necessary to force linking to the new libraries for things to work. I've yet to get inet_ntop() to be
