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 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 just read the thread http://lists.samba.org/archive/rsync/2004-June/009678.html which describes how --keep-dirlinks came to be. My use case is similar, but I?d like a similar option for files as well. Setup: in my public_html I have some symlinks which I send over as files, with -L (for various reasons: partly, because they are copies of current work which is done elsewhere, or

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

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. Details/example: - Host 1 directory-structure: drwx------ ./1

Hello folks, trying to make use of the new --keep-dirlinks feature for a synch port; it works excellent but feels incomplete without a way for rsync to ignore recursive links. Example: # ls -la . total 6 drwxrwxr-x 2 bldmstr staff 512 Aug 16 21:42 . drwxrwxr-x 8 bldmstr staff 512 Aug 16 21:41 .. lrwxrwxrwx 1 bldmstr staff 2 Aug 20 12:07 bogus -> .. if you use

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

Rsync people, I am preparing to overhaul my Web site's build system, and I am looking for a convenient way to collect files and directories from various places on my computer and put them at various locations inside a destination directory to be posted to my Web site.

I want to

Hello, when trying to rsync files between hosts, I ran into a surprising case in which rsync replaces a symlink with a directory, with no indication of any kind. In the following reproducer, rsync is called as follows: rsync --verbose --recursive --relative --delete a/./lib/modules b/ Directory b contains a 'lib' symlink pointing to 'usr/lib', and rsync removes that and
