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

I sync some client stations to a central server at the discretion of the users. They run a single-transfer daemon by logging in via their ssh accounts. All is well. Now I also allow a certain user to rsync this accumulated client data (which end up as subdirectories of a single directory on the server) to an external hard drive. This user connects via ssh and runs a remote shell script on the

Hello List, How would i rsync all files which are older than X-Days? I am missing some kind of -mtime option. Since this is quite common for backups i am wondering how you are doing this kind of stuff. Thanks, Mario

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

I'm new on rsync, and I have some question regarding file synchronization my rsyncd.conf is secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.secrets read only = yes list = yes uid = nobody gid = nobody max connections = 1 log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid lock file = /var/run/rsync.lock [test] path = /home/test auth users = test on another linux, I executed rsync --verbose --progress

I've just released rsync 2.6.7pre3 -- the third, and (hopefully) final pre-release version of the 2.6.7 release. Please test this out and email the rsync mailing list with any questions, comments, bug reports, etc. Thanks! You can download the tar file and its signature from here: http://rsync.samba.org/ftp/rsync/rsync-2.6.7pre3.tar.gz

Hi, I am currently backing up a few Linux boxes, and a Windows XP box, using rsync (through a cron job). Regarding the Windows box ( Windows XP (running Cygwin) <--> Debian Testing), so far I specify a few directories as sources in the rsync command line. I then use an excludes file to include certain directories and exclude others. I was wondering, can I just specify / as the source and

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!!

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

I'm new to using rsync, so far it is working well. But I want to know what files rsync decided to transfer. Using the -v option lists every sub-folder of my directory and lots of files. Is there any way to get rsync to report only on the changes it made to the destination directory? I'd like to know: what files /directories were copied across what files/ directories were deleted

Logically, deleting the dst file which does not exist on src amounts to "transferring the non-existence" of that file from src to dst. Therefore, if files larger or smaller than some size are ignored in transfer, they must just as well be ignored in deleting (much as --exclude'd files are also excluded from delete, unless you specify --delete-excluded). So I think the behavior should

Hi. I can't get to work the excludes in this command: rsync -n -a -v --delete --timeout 120 --exclude '/sys/' --exclude '/tmp/' --exclude '/stuff/' --exclude '/mnt/' --exclude '/proc/' --exclude '/var/tmp/' --exclude '/usr/portage/distfiles/' --exclude '/home/msurdi/.thumbnails/' gaia:/ /usr/backups/gaia.0/ The excluded

Hi Guys, I'm backuping my home dir with rsync since 1 1/2 years, which is quite nice (I'm using the link-dir option). Now I started to use subversion and don't like that rsync is making backups of the checked-out working dirs. First I put all wd's in one folder (~/tmp) and put this on an exclude list. But now I'm use subversion on other locations as well, for example

i have a sync that i do daily on my home directory home directory -> external drive A i recently got a bigger external drive (B) and move my backup file tree from drive A to drive B. i gave the new drive the same name as the old drive, so all of the file paths will look the same to the backup script. My daily sync usually takes 3 minutes. After moving the backup tree, the first sync took 20

hello I'm having 2 problems with rsync... one is consequence of the other 1) I'm running an rsyncd one a server... then I run rync (client) as root on another server even being root, it doesn't read files/dirs with chmod 000 for example and gives error on them 2) when these error happens, it happens "IO error encountered" and it skip the "--delete" (I tried
