Hi All, I am using rsync to backup our office server to our Internet server (RHE). As an association for doctors we are looking at providing a backup service for their practices using rsync. As it would be patient data it would need to be encrypted. I have found a few options, namely esync wurt rsyncrypto Does anyone have experience with the above and perhaps like to recommend one? On the

In the archives I see the question about encrypted destination and it's mostly answered with the --source-filter / --dest-filter patch by Kyle Jones. There are also some proposed updates to the patch. A lot of these posts 3 years old, is there plans or reasons not to include them in the main line code? // George -- George Georgalis, systems architect, administrator <IXOYE><

Hi, I have a small server at home. I like to put it 'online' and secure it as good as possible. The counterside of putting your personal backups on a server is that it might get hacked... and you don't want have to have your personal docs online... Do you think encryption is needed? How to use encryption with rsync? Thanks in advance, ~D

https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4615 --- Comment #2 from Shachar Shemesh <shachar at shemesh.biz> --- What you're asking for is currently possible with an external utility, called rsyncrypto (http://rsyncrypto.lingnu.com). It, in fact, does not require you to trust the server you're storing your backups on. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the QA Contact

Hi all, I recently came across a possible requirement of backing up certain files on a remote server ... in an encrypted format. This got me seriously thinking about the possibility of doing such a thing with rsync. I am not too knowledgable about encryption and the mechanisms of the rsync algorithm (at least as yet :), but I would like to know whether this is attainable or 'far fetched'

During my initial download for my home directory backup, it took rsync over 6 hours to do the initial backup, but I can FTP the stuff in about 30 Mins. Is Rsync usualy this slow? I have compression turned on, and its across a 100 MB/S network, Anyone had this problem before? Steve Sills

I don't know if this is the propper place to ask for new funcionality, but after searching the website i didn't find another place to do it. I'm very sorry if I`m asking this in the wrong place. It would be greatful to have crypting funcionality added to rsync, appart from using ssh to crypt transmissions. I know this is not the original purpose for rsync, but anyway it's a fact

Moin, I wrote a backup script, that use rsync and its hardlink features. Now I want to implement a new feature to my script: crypt the backuped files. But I wonder how this can be done? Because rsync check if the source file is different from the target file. But the target file will be allways different if it is crypt; right? Any idea? Thanks -- |Michael Renner E-mail:

What I want to do is use rsync to back up a folder to an external drive. I would like to keep 30 days worth. For example: I have backups of June 1 - June 30. Once July 1 comes along, I want to keep June 2 - July 1 and delete June 1, and so forth. Any ideas how I can accomplish this? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Rysnc-Schedule-tf4104577.html#a11672997 Sent from the

Hi, all - I've been digging into the question of using rsync to sync up compressed data, and read with interest the conversations regarding the rsync friendly patch available for gzip (I belive Rusty provided this patch). For anyone interested, the message thread is archived at http://lists.samba.org/archive/rsync/2002-June/thread.html. The broad outline of this approach were mentioned in

I am attempting to use rsync to backup a Win98 laptop to a FreeBSD 4.8 backup server. I have experienced the same problem at roughly the same point in the process on two occations. The laptop contains ~2.7Gb of data. On the first attempt we received this error at 2.3Gb and on the second at 2.4Gb. rsync error: partial transfer (code 23) at main.c(575) Would love to have a full backup of the

One thing that's bugged me is that some of the man page lines in the options summary are longer than 79 chars and wrap onto the next line. These are just one line summaries (detailed description appear later) so they can, and should, be terse. Here's an edited diff showing my proposed changes (and a 79 char ruler):

Hi all, I'm new to the rsync list. I've been searching for two days and have tried five different installs and so far none work the way I need them to.

Hi all, A while back I announced "Rsyncrypto", a rsync friendly encryption system. With version 0.11 just out, and proving reasonably usable in and on its own right, we now have an independent mailing list discussing just rsyncrypto. I have therefor allowed myself this one last notice to this list. All further rsyncrypto related announcements will go to

Hi Friends, I have started learning rsync source code but I am finding very difficult to go back and forth to find the execution flow. I could see that rsync code is written in UNIX and the compilation is difficult. Does anybody converted it into Windows Project so that we can open in using Visual Studio IDE and it will be very simple to search for some function and find the complete work flow.

Hi all, I'm sorry if this is off topic here. I'll send this one anyways, but do let me know if you are interested in related project's release announcements so that I don't spam this list unnecessarily in the future. rsyncrypto is a utility that encrypts file in a rsync friendly way. Small changes to the plain text file will result in small changes to the cypher text file.

What the maximum filesize rsync can transfer? I'm trying to rsync one of my servers to another but the rsync is croaking on a file that's barely 1GB. Tips, hints, suggestions? rsync server is AIX 4.3.3 ML11 - rsync 2.6.3 rsync client is AIX 5.3 ML1 - rsync 2.6.4 Thanks -Jeff -- Jeff Schoby Unix/Network Admin City of Columbia, Missouri 573.874.6320

Hi all, Sorry if this question seems odd. Is it possible to use syslinux to boot from a regular hard disk? I know that's exactly what grub, lilo etc. are doing, but I would really like to utilize the comboot option of syslinux. Are there LBA limitations to such a setup?

Hello everyone, I have a question regarding syncing of large files. We have a setup where we need to sync a 500GB file with changes in random blocks. The changes are made in a manner, so moving blocks is not probable (actually it will never happen). As I understand it, the way rsync works is: - remote server calculates all checksum blocks and transmits these to client - local client calculates
