similar to: --append option description in manpage confusing

I just noticed, too late )-: --append This causes rsync to update a file by appending data onto the end of the file, which presumes that the data that already exists on the receiving side is identical with the start of the file on the sending side. Any files that are the same size or shorter on the

I am using rsync 2.6.9 in daemon mode under Cygwin, and having trouble reconciling its --append behavior with that described in the man page: The man page says that when you use --append, it will update a file by appending, which presumes the existing data on the receiving side matches. But when I run rsync with append mode when the existing file on the receiving side is shorter than on the

In the manpage, all occurrences of a single quote (or apostrophe) are preceded by a backslash. This means that these get turned into acute accents by groff; here's the relevant part of the groff manpage: \' The acute accent ; same as \(aa.

Hy all, I'm a new rsync user and my english may be poor. I try to sync two folders between two machines using ssh and 2.6.9 rsync version on each. My purpose is to sync only files called "*.lic" in each subfolders. On the source machine I want to sync : /home/dps3/public/Lic/Lic /home/dps3/public/Lic/Lic2 /home/dps3/public/Lic/Lic3 to /home/dps3/public/Lic/Lic9 On each

Hey all, A customer is configuring an offsite rsync backup. Their Internet pipe is fairly slow (DSL) but they have some very large files to backup. Their backup window is only after business hours. If one of these large files starts rsyncing at midnight, and the backup window ends before the file is complete (i.e. the rsync process stops), will it complete the rest of that file the

I wanted to restrict rsync to listen only on one IP address on a multi-homed system. I put an "address aa.bb.cc.dd" option in the (single) module definition, as the manpage shows that "address" is a module option, not a global one. However, lsof showed that rsync had bound to * instead of the specified IP address. Moving the "address" line to the global part did the

I noticed that rsync sometimes miscalculates the permissions of the top-level destination directory when --perms is off. For example, run these commands in an area free of default ACLs: umask 0000 mkdir -p src/foo chmod 700 src src/foo rsync -r src/ dest/ find . -ls 763054 0 drwx------ 4 matt matt 96 Feb 16 17:57 . 763158 0 drwx------ 3 matt matt 72 Feb 16

I am having trouble running rsync over a mapped drive. Basically it only copies whole files. I use the -rvcS switches. Any suggestions?

Today I went to back up my computer to an external disk with rsnapshot. I have two copies of the Linux kernel; a few files differ, but matching files are hard-linked between the two trees to save space. Since I didn't give -H to rsync, it is making a separate file on the backup disk from each hard link on the source. I had the understanding that -H used an O(n^2) algorithm to match up hard

Hi, I wonder if the following is possible in R: Suppose a function takes an argument, and wants to modify this argument so that the change is visible _at the call side_. It would be what is for example known as pass-by-reference-to-non-const in C++. test <- function(x) { x <- 10 ... return (somethingElse) # I do NOT want having to return x } number = 5 test(number)

Hi all, I am new to rsync and I apologize in advance if my question is shallow. I write a simple script to use rsync to transfer a big file (~600MB)from a single source to variable number of destinations in a parallel way. When I transfer the file to 4 destination machines, I get X overall transfer time. Then I transfer the same file to 8 destination machines and I get Y overall transfer time.

I can manually ssh into the server with no problems. Is the server running an rsync daemon? If so, why the ssh? Paul Slootman

Hi: I need periodically rsync a bunch of very big files. These files are append-only so changes are already at the end of the file. Because files are big, I assume it will take some time comparing the first part of files. Is there a way that I can tell rsync to sync only the extra part at the end of file, and do not compare the first part of files? Thanks. Chuang

Hi, I need a small information on the way rsync copies the files . I am writing the files , links to a list file and I am passing the list file to rsync for copying to remote machine.

There's a rather old bug report in Debian's bug tracking system (see http://bugs.debian.org/27126) about wanting to be able to specify the maximum file size, as well as the minimum file size. Here's the text: Sometimes, it's useful to specify a file size range one is interested in. For example, I'd like to keep an up-to-date mirror of Debian, but I currently
