I current do some rsync backups with a command like so every day rsync -az -e ssh --stats --delete --exclude "stuff" / user@server:/home/user/ What I want to do is have some incremental backups in there in subdirectories. So, for example, something like this on the remote server /home/user/something.tuesday /home/user/something.friday I thought the --backup --backup-dir Switches were

I'm was wondering if this has been asked about/for multiple exclude-from files ? Where I could find this useful is say I had a common or base exclusion list for all my AIX boxes --exclude-from=/foo/aix_base Then be able to add for say all my AIX boxes that are running SAP --exclude-from=/foo/aix_base --exclude-from=/foo/sap or --exclude-from=/foo/aix-base,/foo/sap and so on ...

Sorry about that ./configure --with-included-popt But then 200+ plus lines of warnings :( I'll read some more -pete

Hi all, I've finally hit rsync limit. As someone already addressed the problem in this list the problem regards the impossibility for rsync to rename directories. The situation is as follow: every night I backup my samba dir with this command: rsync -ab --suffix=-`date +%F-%H%M` --filter="protect *-[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]" --delete

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi folks, I would like to do incremental backups of the users' maildir directories to a dedicated backup host (using "rsync -SHa" and rsnapshot). Problem is: Dovecot bloats the incremental backup by changing the file names again and again. Is there some way to tell Dovecot to keep meta information separate from the file names? Any

I'm trying to formulate a strategy for our interconnected Asterisk IAX peers to failover to the PSTN in the event of a DDoS. We currently use them like this: DID--->PRI--->Primary Asterisk--->IAX--->On-site Asterisk--->SIP This works fine, and everyone is happy. One of my concerns, though, is if we get DDoS'd - which happens probably once every couple of years. I'd

Hello dear list! Just wanted to tell you that there's a simple and somehow smart backup solution using rsync named ccollect [0]. It uses the hardlink feature of rsync to create fullbackups with only minor size differences (it uesd cp -al and pax before). I would be happy for any critic about the software, the documentation the configuration style (cconfig [1]) and the idea itself. Sincerly

Hello, I am using rsync v2.5.6 to backup our entire server filesystem over the network to a central backup server. I have copied the example script from the rsync website (http://rsync.samba.org/examples.html) to create incremental backups, the --backup-dir seems to have a strange side-effect. Everything goes well, but on the server side where the backup is stored I can't seem to break out

I'm using rsync to do an incremental backup of my desktop here, to a remote server as follows: #/usr/bin/bash old=$(date -d 'now - 1 week' +%Y-%m-%d) new=$(date +%Y-%m-%d) rsync -avP --delete --link-dest=../$dir /home/bakers bakers at perturb.org:/home/bakers/backup/$new/ This is actually working GREAT!

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
