Hi, I can't get rsync from a PC to an HP-UX or Linux box to work, and am hoping for a pointer or two. I checked the FAQ and googled ... with no luck, so I hope this isn't a patently obvious newbie problem :) I just got interested in trying to use rsync to backup my WinXP PC to a Linux or HP-UX computer. I got the cygwin package from Robert Scholten's site at

Dear All, though my query is not directly with rsync but i thought some of the people must be using rsync & ssh, so i am posting my query here, in case if there is some other group or forum pls let me know so that i won't bother people here(my apologies) actually, i am facing a very strange issue as : my objective is to use rsync from windows m/c with ssh(auto), so i did as ... 1) I

I posted this message to the cygwin mailing list, but I thought I'd try it here too... flip --------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello, I am using rsync 2.5.5 protocol version 26 with cygwin 1.3.10-1.

Hello, I have a remote win2k machine and local NT4 machine running rsync over ssh, by way of cygwin. I have a cron script that grabs a directory from remote and puts it on local.

Hi, I've seen a page on the internet : http://optics.ph.unimelb.edu.au/help/rsync/rsync_pc1.html Seems to me that I have some problems running the rsync binary with "--backup-dir=PATH" options. The command below runs just fine except for the option above. C:\rsync>rsync --delete -b --backup --backup-dir=/cygdrive/c/Doc/backup/Fri -ave ssh /cygd rive/c/Doc/backup/desktop/

Thanks a lot , This explains a lot ("--backup-dir is on the remote). I should have guest, sorry about this. But about the fact that it is an old version, your right but : - on Linux I tried to install the latest version 2.6.2, but the "configure"command did never succeed :(, some problems about not finding a valid cc or gcc. (/lib/libgcc_s-3.2.2-20030225.so.1) even if it

Hi all, I'm trying to backup a disk using rsync but I need to exclude some folder. I'm using rsync 3.0.4 under cygwin on a winxp machine. The script that I use is: # ---------------------------------------------------------------- # SRCDIR=/cygdrive/d LOGDIR=/cygdrive/f BCKDIR=/cygdrive/f/Backup rsync -auv --progress --delete --delete-excluded --log-file=$LOGDIR/`date +%Y%m%d`.log

When using Cygwin Rsync 2.5.6/OpenSSH 3.6.1 for copying files from Win2k->Win2k, I get 2 or 3 hung processes on the receiving-side out of about every 50 runs. These hung processes cause the system to be unable to reboot(?!), requiring a hard reset. Killing the processes allows a graceful reboot every time. I'm currently running both ssh and rsync as services on the recieving side.

Hi, I'm trying to set up rsync, with the transfers originating from a Win2K box and going to a Linux box. Both boxes are on my home LAN, so ssh is not required; I thought I would simply use the rsync protocol. I set up xinetd on my Linux box to start a rsync server when needed. My first attempts at a test run failed like so: $ rsync -a /cygdrive/c/installs/palm rsync://192.168.2.3/palm

Hi all, I am running Ubuntu server 10.04 and use rsync to do all my backups. I would like to backup multiple directories to my external hard drive, but I am faced with a problem on how to set up crontab -e to allow each rsync statement to perform one after the other. Right now I have each one set to run on different nights, but I would like them all to run the same night to allow for a more

I am running rsync 2.6.3 on Cygwin 1.5.11-1 over ssh to a remote server (server is also running rsync 2.6.3). When I upload a file via rsync to a remote server, its filesize on the remote is much larger than the local copy, leading me to believe some sort of ASCII translation is being done. Some interesting things: 1. If I upload the file using scp instead of rsync, it works perfectly. 2. If

A while back I argued for adding a --with-rsh=CMD option to configure and got some general agreement that it would be a good thing (especially for systems that don't have rsh at all). However, the changes were never integrated into rsync. This patch adds the --with-rsh=CMD option to configure and modifies main.c to improve the blocking-IO setting code. The old code would set blocking_io to

Hi! I'm having a bit of a problem setting up an rsync operation between two Windows 2000 servers. On one of the machines I have started an rsync Daemon (service, started as administrator) using the lines below. On the other machine I do a rsync -Pzrtvpo /cygdrive/d/root/Folder administrator@192.168.2.4::root What happens is that all transferred files (no problem with the actual transfer)

What should be the official behaviour here? I must admit some of my scripts probably have both trailing and non-trailing "/". But just played around until it was mirroring into the correct directory.

Hi all, Thank-you to all the developers for rsync. It is very well done. I have rsync running on various platforms connecting to the same server and all is good. Except for 1 Win2000 Prof. server. I backup several directories with various permissions and users successfully. However, there are 2 directories that even though the permissions are the same as other directories that are

Hi, I'm trying to use rsync from Windows to Unix. I've followed the directions on : http://optics.ph.unimelb.edu.au/help/rsync/rsync_pc1.html I can see ssh running on the windows machine, because I tested it using telnet localhost 22 and I can see the result "SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_3.4p1". But when I try "$ rsync -avz -e ssh user@windowsserver::/rsync/* ." from the Linux

It appears that the trailing slash in the source is being ignored: rsync -auv clam::root/usr/local/bin/ /tmp/bin ends up with files under /tmp/bin/bin where rsync -auv clam:/usr/local/bin/ /tmp/bin works as expected. rsync -auv 'clam::root/usr/local/bin/*' /tmp/bin also works as expected.

The latest rsync (2.6.5) seems to invoke the transport specified by $RSYNC_RSH differently. I have this set to point at an ssh wrapper script (which is now I noticed), and an strace shows this: [archives/silva]#root@jazzbo*> strace -e trace=process -f /opt/bin/rsync -avHP /mnt/phat/archives/silva/. root@ali:/a/ali/home/.............
