similar to: cwRsync : send all output to a file

Hiya I have been doing some substantial research about rsync and the rsync algorithm. I was wondering: can rsync backup any type of file? I have tested it with "common" files Word, Excel, SQL dumps, log files etc But what about more complex types of files, like vector images etc. Thank you for your thoughts in advance. Hamish

Hiya if the rsync options -pgo (preserve perms, group perms, owner perms) are not set, from where does rsync attain the file permissions? Will it just take the default ones from the server? Also, what is the difference between -p and -g or -o ? Thanks Hamish

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

I am having a bit of a problem with rsync 2.6.2 on AIX and I was wondering if this might just be the expected behavior. When using the -o and -g flags, the user and group names are NOT preserved on the receiving side, however, the UIDs/GIDs are preserved. I checked the OLDNEWS file and bugzilla, but could not find any reference to a problem like this. Vitals: -rsync 2.6.2 with security patch

Hi, I've tried various combinations of --exclude and --include, but I can't quite get it. What I'd like to do is only mirror certain directories in a tree. For example, say a directory tree starting at /x contained under it several directories named "abc". I want to mirror only the "abc" directories and what's under them and nothing else. /x/abcdef/456

Is it possible to a configure a tinc (1.0.35) node to only send outbound through specific nodes, rather than trying to establish direct connections? I have a node which can connect to all the others directly, but some routes have terrible packet loss, so I'd like to configure it not to try. thansk Hamish

I am looking for documentation on creating the secrets file. man -k rsync on my system doesn't have any reference to how to create a secrets file. Also, rsync.samba.org didn't seem to have documentation either. Any pointers? -- -- David Bear College of Public Programs at Arizona State University

Hi! Is there a possibiliy to tell rsync only to copy files less than eg 10Mb of size? I'm running a dedicated backup-server, and would like to skip backing up my downloaded iso-files. They can bee downloaded again if requeired ;-) -- Henning Wangerin <mailinglists-after-041101_reply-not-possible@hpc.dk>

Hi, We use rsync to share data between two remote sites. We are using rsync after configuration of the rsync.conf file. I created a module in the file with the relevant entries and permissions. The problem is that I get "connection refused ", when I try to run rsync in the following way: root@rsync1-mpg:/root# rsync ptsinf01.pt.intel.com:: rsync: failed to connect to

Hi there Is there a commercial license for using Rsync or the Rsync algorithm within a commercial product? I appreciate that Rsync as it stands is GNU and therefore it cannot be used in this way, but I thought that I would ask the list. I understand that it is open source, but we have an application that would benefit from something like Rsync and therefore thought we would ask the question. If

Hi Folks, I am wanting advise on a good soft-phone on Linux. I have looked at Gnophone but cannot seem to get it to compile under debian sarge. I am now looing at sipXphone seem to be picking up that it is not that stable, but perhaps someone here can advise on what softphone I can use on Linux.

Dear All, I've been using R for windows for a while, without too many problems. However, I'm forced to use the MAC OS system for teaching, because our teaching labs are mac only (not my idea!!). I have a very basic problem, but one that doesn't appear on the FAQs. I simply want to import data from a spreadsheet. I'm using exactly what works fine on Windows, namely: 1 save

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 was under the impression that --include and --exclude worked by matching patterns in the order given, and whichever matched first, whether that was an include or exclude determined the action for that file. I have a big directory from which I am attempting to transfer selected files. I want all files where the first level directory is anything, the second level directory is "2005"

Hi All, I've been using the great file-attr-restore script with rsync to get around problems with uid's on a portable hard drive... It's the perfect solution for me. (for those that haven't seen it,you can get it here: http://samba.org/ftp/unpacked/rsync/support/file-attr-restore ) Anyway, I found a small bug in the script. file-attr-restore fails for file names with dollar

Currently I have the local tinc node's VPN IP in both the tinc-up script as well as in its hosts/$NODE file Subnet setting. Can this be avoided, to simplify deployment? Actually I am currently using a DNS lookup in the tinc-up script to get the local VPN IP ($NODE.myvpndomain), but this fails if DNS isn't ready when tinc-up is run. (DeviceStandby=yes fixes this, but then the
