Hi, I have a problem of loss of file ownership with rsync. For some odd reasons, I have to use a windows machine as rsync server, and to backup/restore a filesystem from/to a linux client. All files in my linux filesystem are owned by root, with gid root. If I save the files onto the windows rsync server from linux using rsync, and then restore them back to linux, the ownership for all files

hi, I have an 20G archive of pic files which would have to be mirrored onto another server. It contains large JPEGs, around 10k files, one of the servers is located in Boston, the another is in Budapest, Hungary. I use rsync rsync://remote_box/remotedir localdir/ -zcvr --progress --size-only The issue is that the remote server sends the filelist very slow. Looking into the rsyncd process with

Hello, This is my first post to the list. Is it possible to specify the --link-dest option server-side in the rsyncd.conf file? What I'd like to do is implement incremental snapshot backups without having to change the clients which all just do regular dumps to the rsync server. I'd like to specifiy this option on the server rather than on the client because I don't want to

Hi, rsyncd.conf allows you to forbid compression. I'd like a way for it to require compression, either by forcing the option on or forbidding transfers from clients that don't request --compress Is such a thing possible? Regards, David.

Add new optional argument to copy-out: 'numericowner', 'excludes', 'xattrs', 'selinux', and 'acls'. Pass them straight to tar-out, so it is possible to tweak how the files are extracted from the guest, and locally saved. --- generator/actions.ml | 37 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-- gobject/Makefile.inc | 2 ++ lib/copy-in-out.c | 29

Hello, let me describe my setup. Source server is debian wheezy, rsync 3.0.9 Destination is qnap TS-410, with rsyncd enabled, rsync 3.0.7 I'm trying to rsync two files, which are exported from source server as iscsi targets (windows iscsi backups). Files are on btrfs, so I use snapshots during rsync, so files don't change. One file is 50GB, second is 550GB in size. Initial sync over

It seems to me that rsyncd.conf does not provide an option akin to rsync's --one-file-system command line argument. If that is true, it seems like a bug of ommission, as I now face a use case where I need it. Is there maybe some technical reason for the ommission? Thanks, -- Lester Hightower

is there anything special to do this from the daemon server. I've setup the /etc/rsyncd.conf with some filesystems and I would rather originate (control) my rsyncs from this server and not from the hosts that have the data I want. ie. I want to pull not push. for instance my rsyncd.conf [www] comment = www path = /snaps/www numeric ids = true log file = /snaps/rsync/logs/www.log pid file

I have a string, "2012_10_16"; let's call this $YESTERDAY How can I rsync a file tree from a remote machine to the local one, including *only* filenames that contain the matching string? I've read the man page and googled around but can't seem to get the syntax right. I either end up syncing all the files, or none of them. Here's how the code looks now (I will remove

Can anyone shed any light on what I should expect from rsync when the --link-dest option is invoked when the destination is a remote rsync module? i.e. rsync --archive --delete --link-dest=../dst_1/ /src/ user@host::xyz/dst_0 I almost expected to get a whole lot of hard links in dst_1 to unchanged files in dst_0... if I skip rsyncd on the server side (i.e. make the target

Hello all, Since the rsync on Panther many things changed in my professional life. This project is abandoned although it should work. But this you already know. What's new? On my new job I have several servers to administrate. Servers that aren't backed up (sic). So, there's why I'm back to rsync. The backup plan I would like: 1) Client side: PCs running rsync (or

I have some rsync defined as a server on one of my production systems and use to to sync out various configuration files for services running on the box (dhcpd, dns named.conf files & the like). Both ends are Compaq Alpha/Tru64 5.1 systems running rsync 2.5.5. I'm having a fit trying to include certain files in specific subdirectories under the main path; one such example is below:

Is it possible to implement snapshots schema without NFS or filesystem mount? I would like to implement it with ssh only. Has anyone done this before? tia

I am using rsync/rsnapshot on Windows XP (via cygwin) to backup to a mapped share (/u) on a Linux server. I’m hoping to get this to work so that I don’t have to open an XP share to the network for Linux “pull” backups. My current setup doesn’t seem to give me incremental backups. See the “du” output… $ /usr/bin/du -csh /cygdrive/u/docs_bkup/daily.0/ /cygdrive/u/docs_bkup/daily.1/
