During my initial download for my home directory backup, it took rsync over 6 hours to do the initial backup, but I can FTP the stuff in about 30 Mins. Is Rsync usualy this slow? I have compression turned on, and its across a 100 MB/S network, Anyone had this problem before? Steve Sills

Hi all, I'm new to the rsync list. I've been searching for two days and have tried five different installs and so far none work the way I need them to. I have an "backup" server running rsync --version: rsync version 2.6.6 protocol version 29 Copyright (C) 1996-2005 by Andrew Tridgell and others <http://rsync.samba.org/> Capabilities: 64-bit files, socketpairs, hard

Is there a good introductory document for rsync in --daemon mode? When folks ask questions like "what is rsyncd" I would like to have someplace for them to go and learn. Perhaps not - one more writing task for me! Keith -- Keith Lofstrom keithl@keithl.com Voice (503)-520-1993 KLIC --- Keith Lofstrom Integrated Circuits --- "Your Ideas in Silicon" Design

This is likely a linux or ssh problem, but perhaps someone else on this list may have encountered it. I have run about 15,000 instances of rsync in the last year, (about 500 total hours of rsyncing) using ssh as a transport mechanism ( actually, I am running the dirvish backup wrapper, www.dirvish.org, around rsync). In all cases, I am pulling filesystems from a linux client to a linux backup

Just built 2.6.1 and started testing it. Nice job guys. I especially love the --progress and hardlink tweaks. Quite often, while I have systems backing up out of cron, I'd love to be able to see the --progress. Unfortunately, it's just not practical to crank up the verbosity like that on a regular basis (some of these systems have a few million files). A neat feature I'd like to see

have the following in my manifest to delete old uninstall directories and logs using exec since we don''t have tidy for windows yet {code} exec { ''CleanupOldUninstallDirs'': command => ''C:\Windows\system32\forfiles.exe -p "C:\Windows" -m "$NtUninstall*" -d -65 -c "cmd /c dev /F /S /Q @path"'', }

Hi All, Here's an rsync patch which adds an --offline flag, letting you transfer changed blocks via removable media, while still comparing checksums via the net. I expect this could be very popular for the growing number of people who want to do disk-based offsite backups, which is what I needed it for. It took me longer than I hoped, but still only several hours to work this out -- it

Hi - there's a flag for rsync to compress the files in transit - is it possible to compress one side (target) with gzip and have rsync still work correctly? Any help would be appreciated. -- Ken

OK, I set up a new PC with a fresh XP load to be my rsync server. Rsync by itself seems to work fine (thank God. I'm going nuts.) I am still having problems when I throw ssh into the mix. At least now, things don't crash, but they do hang. The file list gets build, the transfer starts and it gets through maybe a few hundred files, but then everything stops. All the processes are still

I am runninng rsync on Ubuntu. It was installed using apt-get install rysnc. I note that the package has not yet been updated to rysnc 3.0. I would like to update using the tar but I am confused how to update the existing installation. On this machine, I am mainly using rsync to send to a cwrsync server (which I have updated already). Can I just overwrite the rsync executable? Any help

If your Perl apps are unusually slow on CentOS 5, have a look at this blog: http://blog.vipul.net/2008/08/24/redhat-perl-what-a-tragedy/ In a nutshell: some Perl apps are 100x slower on RedHat / CentOS 5 compared to other distributions.

I've been getting this error message for a few days from a customer's server and we can't seem to decipher it. I googled for it and only found references to it with respect to much older versions of rsync. We're running the Debian packaged version of rsync version 2.6.2-3. The customer side is running 2.6.3 compiled from source. #### inflate (token) returned -5 rsync error:

Have the hard-links optimizations that were described here been implemented? http://lists.samba.org/archive/rsync/2004-January/008137.html In any case, what's the general consensus behind using the --hard-links option on large (100GB and above) images? Does it still use a ton of memory? Or has that situation been alleviated? ..Chuck.. -- http://www.quantumlinux.com Quantum Linux

Hi folks, I'm having a problem with my rsync between two areas between a WAN. The problem is really odd. I have a script that runs every night. Lately, we've been having problems with rsync. The source side is an ordinary file while the destination side is a symlink. We've been having problems with rsync deleting the symlink and repacing it with the source copy despite having it in

Greetings All, I am planning on authoring a web-based (CGI) interface to rsync. The idea is to build a fool-proof interface for my web designers to push content changes from our development server to our live production server. I am talking about an interface which allows point-n-click navigation of file system folders and the ability to push files. These users are both MAC and Windows based. We

Hello, I have been using rsync to sync data from 1 ftp server to a backup ftp server. Both servers are Solaris 10 X86, and the file systems being synced are a few hundred zfs user data file-systems under the parent/root ftp area. I noticed an unexpected problem in the sync log files, one of the user data directories had bumped up against it's quota, and failed to write the data. That is
