similar to: rsnapshot

Hello guys, sorry for cross-posting, but imho it could be an error in my rsnapshot setup as well as in my rsync setup. If there is a solution on one of these mailing-lists i will post it to the other one as well. ok? here is my question: when running rsnapshot, my exclude filter is being ignored, but i don't see why. grep -v "#" /etc/rsnapshot-debx40.conf | grep . gives

Has anyone else had problems using the --link-dest flag? I do what it says in the example rsync -a --delete --link-dest=/home/chamberl/oldbk/ /home/chamberl/source/ /home/chamberl/backup/ I make sure that /home/chamberl/source has some files exactly the same as in /home/chamberl/oldbk/ but evertything gets copiued, and no hard links are done (though they should be). Anyone know the problem?

Hello, yesterday i posted this issue on snapshot-discuss at listsourceforge.net (subject: wondering why backup wont start), but after reading the FAQ and searching the bugzilla DB i thought it could help to post here as well. i have a problem. But let me first describe my setup. i followed this howto: http://dev.kprod.net/?q=linux-backup-rsnapshot-no-root Now there is a backup server rpi-home

Hi all, I'm planning on implementing this in my new upcoming dovecot instance, and would like to hear thoughts on how best to accomplish this. We will be paying Timo's support company to do the work, but obviously, the less work in the form of coding he has to do to get this working (I'm hoping it won't be a lot), the more money it will save us... ;) First - I currently use

I have been using rsnapshot on OS X for a bit now to backup my debian home server to my external HD but have now started getting this error. Shiny:rsync-3.0.6 kurt$ sudo rsnapshot sync /usr/bin/rsync -a --delete --numeric-ids --relative --delete-excluded \ --exclude=mtab --exclude=core --rsh="/usr/bin/ssh -i \ /Users/kurt/.ssh/id_rsa" root at home.thisisnotajoke.com:/home \

I am looking for something similar to the windows SEARCH FILES comman with the option "files containing ..." (that is where I can specify a string and it will find all files containing that string -- not just having the string as part of the name but actually containing it in the text). Is there some way to do this?

I found the response below today online to a question I had. For some reason I never got the mail. I am not quite clear on what "DHCP + DFG + 2DNS entries" means when calculating the IP to set for the router: Thanks Re: [CentOS] Yum/WGET/HTTP sourceforge etc. new April 12, 2010 08:10AM On Sun, 2010-04-11 at 22:57 +0000, tony.chamberlain at lemko.com wrote: > Here is what I

Hi, New to this list, but long-time (appreciative) user of rsync. Grateful for any help with my problem here... In particular, I've been having long-standing issues (just now getting around to trying to resolve them) when I use rsync with '--copy-unsafe-links' alongside the '--delete' parameter. If I use either of these two parameters in isolation (along with other shared

Hi, I'm having some problems with a script in /etc/cron.daily. It's quite simple: ------ #!/bin/sh touch /mnt/Backup/foo rsnapshot daily ----- So the touch gets executed, but the rsnapshot not. If I run manually > run-parts /etc/cron.daily/ everything's fine. Also when I run rsnapshot from roots crontab. So I have no idea what's the issue here. Any ideas / recommendations

I want to make a full disk image backup of my disk with rsnapshot/rsync that I can restore on a new disk. Part of my /etc/rsnapshot.conf looks like follows: exclude /proc exclude lost+found exclude /media exclude /sys exclude /dev exclude /tmp exclude /dev backup / localhost/ My questions are ... can I use the backup and copy everything from localhost/hourly.0 ---> / of

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/

I think the answer to this question is Rsnapshot, which is an old and well proven tool: http://rsnapshot.org/. To quote the homepage: > rsnapshot is a filesystem snapshot

Hello I need to know a way to have scp allocate a tty on a remote machine so I can have it run sudo and activate a vpn which it will need to activate. scp with "-S" does not work. I can't chmod +s the cisco vpn client because when I try to run it it says it can not have setuser. I could have the user scp via root but I do not want to do that. Any way to have scp allocate a tty?

I have a shell script, /usr/bin/joevpn, which does a quick VPN connect. Basically (HOST and DOFIL are defined above and are correct. I just did not list them here) case "$1" in start) date > $DOFIL while [ -f $DOFIL ] do echo y | /usr/local/bin/vpnclient connect $HOST sleep 10 done ;; #

Another question about find. I looked at the gnome tool and tried to simulate what it is doing. I can't use it directly because it won't do sed. Basically I want to find all files with a string (except binary) and change it. let STR be the string I am looking for. NEW is new string. I am doing TFIL=/usr/tmp/dummy$$.txt find . -type f | while read fil do grep "$STR"

I am currently running CentOS 4.5 (which, through many Yum updates) now appears to be CentOD 4.8. 4.8 is still rather old, but I havbe lots of stuff (files and stuff installed). I would like to install Fedora but I am worried about losing all the stuff I have. I would have to back everything up, uninstall/reinstall things, etc. I am wondering whether there is some way to upgrade to Fedora from

I am using rsnapshot <http://www.rsnapshot.org/> to make snapshots of my filesystem. rsnapshot uses rsync to do all the heavy lifting. I was recently browsing my snapshots and discovered that none of the excluded files or files deleted in the source are getting deleted from the snapshot. rsnapshot calls rsync like this: /usr/bin/rsync -a --delete --numeric-ids --relative --delete-excluded

I made a file partition-ks.cfg and put it in our machine 192.168.5.17 under /var/www/html.
