similar to: Make rsync exclude subversion working directories

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

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

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

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 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

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

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 guys, I hope this is not considered a stupid question, but it really seems to be something that needs to be covered with a decent example in the man page. I have looked in every piece of documentation I can think of and have found no answer. So I want to use the multiple link-dest directories feature as of 2.6.4. (I am using 2.6.6) My understanding of how this should work is that I can

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

Hi folks. Running rsync on Slackware. I'm going over the man pages yet some aspects remain murky. Hopefully someone can set me straight. 1. The --rsh option, The man page explains that you can invoke a single-transfer daemon if you want some features that a daemon provides: $ rsync -av --rsh=ssh host::module /dest The it says that you need to slap on an ssh user if the daemon/module

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

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

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

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
