Hi all, I thought I understand how include/exclude and their precedences work (I read the user guide about this), but I seem to miss something. I have 2 questions about this, separated by ====== Question 1: -------------- I want to exclude the "hidden" directories except some sub-dirs or files: .mybackup and its files) and the mozilla firefox bookmarks folder and its contents

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

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

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 >

Hi, I got a little question on the rsync-option include/exclude: I excluded all hidden files in my home-directory but I want two files to be included. I used following command: gregor@notebook:~> rsync -avzuPn -e ssh --exclude=.* --exclude=* --include=.kderc --include=.gaimrc /home/gregor/ 192.168.0.1:/home/gregor/ building file list ... 1 file to consider wrote 69 bytes read 20 bytes

Hi there, I set up my company's back up server using rsync. And I've got a strange problem. I searched in the archives of this list, but none of them seems not giving me an idea to solve the problem. If anyone can help, it would be grateful. I'm using cron by a user (non wheel/admin) to rsync everyday during the night. The cron is set in the server to transfer the backing-up

Hello, I'm trying to determine if rsync is a sure method of backing up servers (Linux and Windows) whose files are constantly being accesed and are not able to be stoped they're services for backing up purposes... I would use it over ssh for making incremental backups... in my tests seem to always have worked backing up from a debian server to the copy server that runs debian too...

In Suse 9.2, it was easy to softlink to a drive from /home/username/.wine/dosdevices because the mount point for the drive was always the same. That is, /media/dvdrecorder was always where the disc would get mounted. NOW, with Suse 9.3, the mount point is /media/DISC_NAME. Since each disk has a different name, there is never a consistent mount point. So, I can't make Wine's

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

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

Hi Guys, Here is the setup. LVS NAT cluster with director (dir), backup director (bdir), and two realservers (rs1 and rs2) running apache webserver. SSH DSA key-based authentication set up between rs1 and rs2 in order to facilitate automated (via cron) mirorring of htdocs directories. All works fine untill I decide to host DNS on the same cluster. As soon as I start BIND on rs1, ssh no longer

Hey, all, Running Wine 20050111 under SuSE 9.2 (SuSE 9.2 package from sourceforge.net). Wine was working fine until about an hour ago; I had several programs installed and working and did not have this error (afaik). Then I decided to install Septerra Core ( http://www.lith.com/sites/septerra/ , don't download the demo, though; it is of no use in debugging, because the demo install does

Dear Manoj, Have found out the mistake in my script. One must create directory if he/she wants to move old files to backup directory. In my script I was not creating any new backup-dir(datewise), therefore despite of have -b --backup-dir flags it was not working. This means rsync can only create automatically new direcotry for destination but not backup-dir !!!! Am I correct? Bipin ---

Hello, I have Novell Netware File server. Which is mounted as /mnt/novell on one of my Linux m/c. I want to take backup of Novell Server to my Linux m/c.
