Hello, I am trying to copy, on the same server, a set of files. I need to copy them every day with a cron job. This is working fine the only problem is that he always changes the owner and group to the root user. Is there a possibility that he uses the user of the remote files and not the root user ? rsync --archive --exclude ".htaccess" /home/virtual/site5/fst/var/www/ html/

Hi all, I'm having problems with an rsync via ssh process hanging during transfer. The basic problem, (gory details to follow): I've set up a machine on my LAN to act as the receiver and have two (soon to be more) remote servers transferring files via a script. It seems as if certain files are causing the transfer to hang. These are different files on each of the sending machines,

for example's sake: With traditional backup systems, you keep a base (full backup, let's say every 30 days), then build incrementals on top of that, eg. (what has changed since the base). So, to restore, you copy over your base, then copy each incremental over the base to rebuild up to the latest snapshot. (*copying new incrementals files over older base files*) With rsync, (using

hi! i want to use rsync for backup to central storage. from emc networker i know some nice feature - it`s telling about "changed files during save" - i.e. i know which files have changed their contents while being backed up. for example you can see if shutdown of some oracle database was forgotten and that database was backed up online accidentally. what`s the rsync equivalent to

Dears, I would like to mirror data from 2 servers connected together via VPN over ADSL lines (dwn 2Mbps/Upld 512Kbps). I'm sure rsync is one of the best tool to keep these data in sync but how should I use it to initialise the mirror? I'm currently testing the solution with 10Gb of data to keep in sync. But on my lines it would take more than 40 hours to initially create the

The manual says rsync can be used as an improved cp command. If S1 and S2 are (local) source files or directories and T is an (local) existing directory, is it safe to think that $ rsync -r S1 S2 T does the same thing as $ cp -r S1 S2 T , assuming no trailing slashes in S1, S2? -- View this message in context:

Hi all, I was wondering, I run (inside another program) 'rsync' as 'root' using '--files-from'. It seems to error though on files with permissions where 'everyone' does not have read permissions (ie: permissions of '0640'). Is this the normal behaviour for 'rsync' could I be missing something? Thanks!

Dear List, I set up a NetBackup destination on my server. And I backup test1 to NetBackup/test1, test2 to NetBackup/test2. Now I wanna know how many folders that have been backuped. It should be 2 folders, with the name of test1 and test2. But I don't know if there is any way to do so? Any advice and help is well appreciated. Thanks. -- Daniel Li

Hello. I would like to transfer files which have changed on another box. The rsync man page says: --size-only ..This is useful when starting to use rsync after using another mirroring system which may not preserve timestamps exactly.. Which is my situation. My problem is that the size-only switch (clearly) ignores files with different content, but that have the same size. I'd like to

I know this subject has been covered a fair bit here but I'm getting confused with the vast array of possible options I've seen in various cmdlines posted here, and the vast (and sometimes confusing) rsync manual. Can someone show me the simplest case to allow rsync to push data from a windows XP or vista machine onto an opensolaris host using rsync on cygwin? What options are commonly
