similar to: copy symbolic links as real file during syncing files.

I'm trying to figure out if there is some way to run an rsync daemon which makes a mix of "real" and symlinked folders available to a client such that all the folders appear as "real" to the client. I realize the --copy-links and --copy-dirlinks accomplish this when invoked from the client side (and that is currently how I am accomplishing this). Is there any way to

Hi folks, I have a bunch of directories to mirror via rsync. I have lots of hardlinked files spread about these directories. Therfore I use -R (--relative) and -H. so far ok but: I create symlinks to the source-directories via script because src-dirs have changing names (date and time of backup) and I want to have constant directory names on target. How can I achieve that? I thought -k

Hi! I've been attempting to use rsync to sync a set of files between my laptop and my desktop. I've tried using google to search the archives, but didn't find anything that addressed this issue exactly... First of all, here are the details of how I have things set up. Server acting as the intermediary: OS: Mac OS X Server 10.3 rsync: 2.6.2 Laptop: OS: Mac OS X 10.3.6 rsync: 2.6.2

Hi, The problem I found is not in what rsync, but on the error handling: How to reproduce: On server side I setup a tree and share using rsync + xinetd, of course, for security reason I use chroot option.

Hi, I am new to Rsync, but i have successfully used it to sync the contents between two machines. Now the requirement is to sync the contents which are symlinks. I need to sync the actual contents on client machine from these symlinks. I went through rsync tutorial and found --copy-links options to do my job i.e, to transform symlink into referent file/dir Issue: Rsync Server : The actual

Hi, as documented, if you use rsync with --copy-unsafe-links, and copy a directory with a symlink pointing outside of the copied tree, the referent of the symlink is copied. Now, assume that the directory contains a symlink, which points to a (2nd) directory outside of the copied tree. If this (2nd) directory contains another symlink, which also points outside of the copied tree, rsync

If I have a backup script that does the following: (latest 2.6.9 rsync) rsync --archive --hard-links --force --ignore-errors --numeric-ids --keep-dirlinks --delete / /backup I've found that if there is a symlink in place that gets backed up (which goes fine), i.e.: homelink -> /home/ and then that symlink gets changed into an actual directory, i.e.: rm homelink mkdir homelink rsync

When using rsync -avv to recursively copy a local directory on a remote server, and if the remote server has a symbolic link of the same name pointing to some other directory, then that remote symlink is clobbered in favor of the hard-wired path. I looked at the man page and other rsync documentation about copying links, but not of the options seemed to apply in my case. The closest was

Hi, the combination of --keep-dirlinks and --delete (--delete-during, --delete-delay) erroneously deletes symlinks to directories on the receiver. With --delete-before and --delete-after it works as expected. (rsync version 3.0.3 protocol version, on Debian Lenny) I don't think that this behaviour is intended.
