similar to: --compare-dest not working for me. what am I doing wrong?

Hello, In a small environment I have to backup two servers, an Ubuntu 9.10 and a Windows Server 2008 machine. My Backuphost is a Ubuntu 9.10 machine as well. I installed rsync on both Ubuntu hosts from repository (3.0.6) and cwrsync from http://www.itefix.no/i2/node/10650 (3.0.7). Then I wrote some Bash-Scripts which executes rsync every week like that: BACKUPDIR=/var/backup rsync -v -a

Hi all, I have just migrated my tooling from version 2.6.9 to 3.0.0. Unfortunately my script generated an error message during the execution. Because this command was working perfectly in the previous version I suspect this could be a bug. This is the command that I am executing: rsync -av --link-dest=20080313/ --compare-dest=/data/20080313/ 20080313/ /data/20080314/ It just

I have great luck running rsync from one linux system to another, or from a windows system (with cwRsync) to a linux system. But when I try to do an rsync backup from one directory on a Windows system to another, it fails. The cwRsync says its version is 2.6.9. Here's my Rsync command, boiled down to its simplest: rsync -rlptgD -vvv --delete --delete-excluded --modify-window=2

Hi, I'm having trouble with --compare-dest, to copy only files that differ in content. Here are the commands used thusfar: rsync -av --checksum --delete --progress --stats --compare-dest=../old new/ new_archive rsync -av --checksum --delete --progress --stats --compare-dest=../new old/ old_archive old/ a.txt new/ a.txt Note: both a.txt are the same (except for a different

Hi, I have problem with --compare-dest option. I have backup that copies all files on WINDOWS server to another computer each Monday. On rest of weekdays I want to compare files between production data and once backuped on Monday and copy ONLY changed/new files to third location. I use syntax: rsync -av --delete-excluded --exclude-from=/cygdrive/d/bin/backup/excludes.txt

I must be seriously misunderstanding the man page coverage of --compre-dest. My take was that if a file in compare-dest=dir matches a file in SOURCE/ then it won't be transferred to DEST/. I tried this test. (d1 has single files and 2 subdir with files) cp -a d1 d1a mkdir d2 rsync -avv --compare-dest="./d1a" d1/ d2/ d1a is carbon copy of d1 but still every last file in

Hi, I've been attempting to use --compare-dest DIR SOURCE/ DEST/ If a file exists in DEST but is different to the corresponding file in DIR, then the file is updated in DEST. This is what I would expect. I have found that files which do not exist in DEST but do exist in DIR and SOURCE, are not created. Simply touching the file in DEST causes it to be updated. This behaviour seems

Hi all. A while ago (April 15th or so) I posted a patch that allows rsync to take multiple --compare-dest or --link-dest arguments, allowing fetching of files not present in multiple trees. I never got any feedback on it, though, so I'm picking it up again. :) Is there any interest in such a patch at all? Below is the usage example i outlined back then; --start-- [...] Its primary usage is

Hi, I can't manage to get rsync's --link-dest option working. Here is a step by step script which doesn't produce the good results. # create test dir mkdir testrsync cd testrsync mkdir orig echo "abcd" > orig/testfile # create a mirror rsync -apog orig/ mirror/ # create another mirror using link-dest rsync -apog --link-dest=mirror/ orig/ mirror2/ # look at inodes ls

Hi, All, I am implementing real-time Rsync on Windows 2008 system. I set up Rsync server and Rsync client on two machines. An windows service is watching all the Windows file events with FileSystemWatcher. However, the service cannot tell the exactly what happened to folders such as create, delete, or modified. So, I ignored folder event, and only catch file changing events. After I catch

Hi again. I just spotted another peculiarity when inspecting the rsync log. When using --compare-dest, source files that have permissions that differ from the "comparables" are not logged, unless you're using -i. Here's a testing session: $ ls -lR .: total 12 drwxr-xr-x 2 vidar users 4096 2005-03-31 14:16 cmp/ drwxr-xr-x 2 vidar users 4096 2005-03-31 14:23 dst/

Hi, I am using cwRsync on windows xp and getting following error when I start the rsync client to do local copy. Looks like some kind of permission issue. Any configuration to be done on windows or rsync side?

I am working with rsync on Debian, package version 3.0.9-1. I am trying to use rsync --compare-dest to make a delta-copy of a directory. In my case, the mtimes are all unreliable. The data is the same, but the times are all messed up and always will be. I am trying to use --compare-dest with --checksum or --size-only and it does not work. All files are transferred and the delta copy

Hi, I want to use rsync to make daily backups using hard-links in this way: rsync -av --delete --link-dest=../backup_old ./source/. ./backup_new This works great, but the problem is, that rsync does not show correctly what action it performs (-v option). It shows correctly all new and changed files/folders, but it does not show files that were deleted. This works only if I do not use the

Hi all, Being a rsync newbie, I wanted to use rsync for frequent backups that should only contain the changes. First I made copy of the important partition of the remote PC ("gany") using dd and mounted the resulting local file using a loop device under /mnt/gany. Then I tried: rsync -Haziv --compare-dest=/mnt/gany/lib --compare-dest=/data/A/gany.1 \ root@gany:/lib/ /data/A/gany.1

Hi, I tried it also because it's an old question which has never worked for me. Instead it creates copies and not hard links: pierre at in94:~/tmp$ ls -li a b a: insgesamt 8 257315 -rw-r--r-- 1 pierre pierre 4 Nov 14 10:53 1 257316 -rw-r--r-- 1 pierre pierre 6 Nov
