[Now the horse has left the barn, I decided to finally implement that backup system I'd been thinking about for ages. Disk crashes can be great motivators] [Web-location for the living version of this document: http://www.lartmaker.nl/rsync/] Goal: Producing a working network backup / cloning system for Mac OS X systems. The system can be used for local backups as well, for example to

hi, it seems there's a more-recent solution, referenced here: http://www.lartmaker.nl/rsync/ that points out: "Since OS X 10.4 (aka Tiger) the MacOS ships with a modified version of rsync. An added option, -E, enables the transfer of extended attributes." exploring, the current apple patches @:

Hi, This is my first post to this list. I have been backing up some files with rsync from My Mac OS X 10.4.7 machine, which uses HFS+ filesystem to a FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE machine, which uses UFS2 filesystem. They go across a 100-base-T lan, which has little or no traffic on it. On my Mac, I mount the nfs exported volume on the FreeBSD machine with: $ mount -t nfs moe:/backup

OpenSSH Unix Dev, Mac OS X 10.5 recently shipped with OpenSSH 4.5p1. This build includes a number of patches, some general bug fixes and some platform- specific fixes and enhancements. These patches are available from our open source site (http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/10.5/OpenSSH-87/ ). Following is a brief description of each patch. We'd be more than happy to

Hi. Apple have a bunch of patches to openssh that they have folded into the version that's shipped with MacOSX. Some of these are very convenient: like automagically starting an ssh-agent at login/boot time and the ability to have SSH passphrases stored and fetched from the Keychain. It would be nice if these could be considered for rolling in to a future release of openssh. FWIW

Hi, I have a 32-bit installation of Arch Linux and I have developed my own little script (in perl) for downloading files over SMB/CIFS using multiple TCP connections to speed up the transfer. I have googled a lot but could not find any good download accelerator for files hosted over SMB/ CIFS. For example, the DownThemAll firefox add-on allows you to download files hosted over SMB/ CIFS, but is

I'm trying to use Filesys::SmbClient to connect to a windows share using kerberos to authenticate, however, I get a permission denied error. I've tried this on a FC5 with samba 3.0.22 and on Solaris 9 with samba 3.0.22 and 3.0.23rc2. Using kerberos with the command smbclient works however. If I specify a password, I can connect; however, I need to use kerberos. Since the smbclient

As you all know, rsync doesn't have any special handling for Mac OS X HFS+ resource forks. Kevin Boyd made RsyncX and rsync_hfs, to address this gap, but they only work when the destination filesystem is also HFS+. I haven't been able to find any references to an rsync that is capable of syncing from HFS+ to UFS (etc). The only solutions I've seen involve lots of preprocessing

Hi, as I mentioned in earlier mail to ext3-users I have been getting some corruption on an ext3 filesystem that has been serving NFS. I am now confident that I fully understand the problem and have a patch. It only affects data=journal mode and I wonder if it might also be the cause of the corruption noted by a number of people on linux-kernel. First I will explain the problem. Then display

Are there any patches (or planned updates) to rsync v3.0.6 to handle the HFS+ File Compression that Apple introduced with Snow Leopard?

Hi All, I have been reading about the HFS+ filesystem compression on Snow Leopard and how copying or cloning over system files with rsync and other tools results in them being expanded on destination. I was wondering if there was any thoughts on updating rsync to accommodate this? It is kind of a shame to the lose the benefits of the new compression. Thanks, Rob

I am using Mike Rubel's snapshot-style rsync to do backups from my web server (Linux) to my desktop (MacOS X). Mostly, this works great, except where case sensitivity (or rather, HFS+'s semi-lack thereof) causes problems. Specifically, it seems impossible to successfully back up my Linux box's /usr/share/terminfo, as it contains directories that differ ONLY in case (e.g.,

rsync is a very useful tool for me to backup from Max OS X to a linux server. However, would developers please add one feature: When rsync runs on an OS X machine and the source files are in hfs+ (or hfs) filesystem, copy the resources fork to a file with filename starts with a dot and append the original filename. That's the current behaviour of samba client on OS X interacting with

Hello, I have compiled v3.0.4 of rsync per http://www.bombich.com/mactips/rsync.html. Unfortunately, I can't get rsync v3.0.4 to work properly. If I execute this command on the target Mac, I receive this error. sudo rsync -An --progress --log-file=docs_transfer server.domain.com:/Volumes/File_Storage/docs /Volumes/File_Storage rsync: on remote machine: -vnpAe.Ls: unknown option rsync

I'd note that the mkisofs man page listed about a dozen different formats used in various contexts to store Mac resource forks and finder metadata in various contexts. I'd imagine the advent of MacOSX (with UFS support) has narrowed the field of what options are common somewhat, but it's an area where a lot of ad-hoc solutions made it out to the real world. On the other hand, the
