Hello, This is my first posting to the rsync list. I mirror a database containing directories which contain a very large number of files (say 30,000), and sending the file list can often take longer than transferring the new files. (Rsync ends up sending nearly the same file list on every transfer, with only the addition of a few new files.) Has the rsync team considered an rsync option

hi! i want to use rsync for backup to central storage. from emc networker i know some nice feature - it`s telling about "changed files during save" - i.e. i know which files have changed their contents while being backed up. for example you can see if shutdown of some oracle database was forgotten and that database was backed up online accidentally. what`s the rsync equivalent to

Let's assume only kernel and drivers are on a system. Is it possible to effectively run an rsync server with ssh (ie. the receiving end) with say 3MB of available memory? How about 6MB? _____________________________ Stephen Zemlicka Integrated Computer Technologies PH. 608-558-5926 E-Mail <mailto:stevezemlicka@gmail.com> stevezemlicka@gmail.com -------------- next part

I am having problems using rsync on cygwin to properly copy the ownership of files from windows to windows. I am running: rsync -avPA //src_addr/some/path /local/dst/path/ Based on: http://www.mail-archive.com/rsync@lists.samba.org/msg18920.html and: http://www.nabble.com/Re:-I-need-rsync-+-acl-support-for-windows--t2462647.html ENV: CYGWIN=ntsec tty I am running this on Windows Server 2003 R2

I have seen people say both that rsync can efficiently copy truecrypt volumes. I got it working once with deltacopy but as I'm trying to get it to work from the command line, I cannot. It just transfers the whole file. I am using -rvs -inplace switches. Does anybody have any suggestions? _____________________________ Stephen Zemlicka Integrated Computer Technologies PH.

I'm having a terrible time with one particular customer using rsync. Every once in awhile, they create a folder like "Jon Const." Rsync seems to have a terrible time with the period in the folder name. After the backup runs and fails due to this folder, I cannot simply rename the folder. I have to go into cmd and rename the folder using the short filename. Has anybody run into

Can rsync support active mirroring? I've used robocopy in the past and it has a -mon switch that can copy ever x changes or every x minutes. I'm mostly interested in the x changes as the x minutes could easily be scheduled. Can rsync keep the data encrypted rather than unencrypting on the other end? Let me explain better. I want to rsync to a removable disk but I want the data to be

Not sure if that is the correct terminology. I have an rsync setup of files between two Windows servers using cwRsync, which uses -apv options among --progress and --delete options. One part of the backup is to transfer a MSSQL backup file and I notice that after the initial transfer taking 20 minutes or more, subsequent daily transfers after is changes each night take only a minute or two max and

Hey all, Any suggestions on how to estimate how much data rsync would synchronize on average in a given installation? Assume that a full rsync has already run and the only data being updated is just the daily diffs.

Hello, I was reading your posts about RSYNC. We have a massive Oracle schema lots of datafiles about 750 GB size. We do rsync datafiles from source to target server but everytime we cleanup the datafiles on the target server and do rsync every 2 weeks. On the target side mostly the datafiles will be same but on source we might have added few datafiles or made some changes in data and as such the

I'm using rsync and I'm very glad, but, in some case, i'm not so happy. Some people are backing up the data with rsync but they have a lot of files, more than 100000 and 20 Gb of data. We are using batch files and the task scheduling system of windows. It is difficult to see if the backup is well done, sometimes, they are error. We try to make some gui, one in java, an other in c++

Hi-- Can someone tell me how rsync performs it?s synchronization feature? What basic procedure does it use to check if files are different? Thanks :) All My Best, Jeffrey -------------- next part -------------- HTML attachment scrubbed and removed

Given two directories "foo" and "fooprime", can I have rsync make a file or directory "d", that contains the differences between these two directories such that I can take d and apply it to foo to get fooprime, or take fooprime and reverse-apply d to it to get foo? I'm not sure that the --backup and --backup-dir options to rsync will give me exactly what I want.

Hello ! I`m trying to find a way to use lzo compression for the data being transferred by rsync. rsync only supports gzip (or maybe ssh -c, which is also zlib), which gives cpu intensive workload - and this cannot be exchanged by a commandline param like we have with tar (--use-compress-program=....) i like to use lzo because it does much faster compression than gzip. I read the following in

I''m running 2.6.6 on a red hat EL3 system. using the following command, rsync -rlptDvzL --stats --include=a/ --include=a/dir/ --include=a/dir/symlink/ --include=a/dir/symlink/dir2/ --include=a/dir/symlink/dir2/dir3/ --exclude=''**'' /export/stuff remote::stuff I expect the "symlink" (which is really a symbolic link to a directory) to be preserved on the

I have a scenario where I am copying from a local system to remote target and need to remove the local source files once they have been successfully transfered. --remove-source-files works fine for this. An issue has come up in that I need to be able to backup the removed local source files as well. With rsync 2.6.9 I tried: rsync --remove-source-files --backup-dir=/archive –abv (source)

I wrote a patch for rsync 2.6.6 that changes two things: (1) When the receiving rsync creates a file in a directory with a default ACL and `--perms' is off, rsync uses the default ACL instead of the umask to calculate the new file's permissions. All programs that just use `open' and don't do an explicit `chmod' are forward-compatible with default ACLs, but rsync always sets

Suppose we have about 1000 files at location 'A' & 500 files at location 'B' & we want them to be transmitted to each other (not exactly synchronizing two location). RSYNC can do that, no issues on that. But i have few queries further. My first query: 1. Can we make some sort of queuing procedure alongwith or through RSYNC. Like in which we can provide priorities to
