similar to: help please, updating rsync on OS X

We currently do backup using rsync amongst Linux and Solaris machines. Modulo an ACL issue that we had to patch, this is working extremely well. But I want to add our OSX machines to the mix. This is, unfortunately, leaving me confused about rsyncx. I can do the normal thing from OSX using rsync. But the page for rsyncx says - cryptically, in my ignorant opinion - that rsyncx adds support for

hi will the official rsync version in future maybe support HFS(+) filesystem, like rsyncx does right now? i ask because the rsyncx version dosen't run on my linuxbox and the feature is only supported if all systems use rsyncx. regards sam

[Now the horse has left the barn, I decided to finally implement that backup system I'd been thinking about for ages. Disk crashes can be great motivators] [Web-location for the living version of this document: http://www.lartmaker.nl/rsync/] Goal: Producing a working network backup / cloning system for Mac OS X systems. The system can be used for local backups as well, for example to

I'm getting a "bad address" error which is causing my rsync process to bomb out. I'm running RsyncX 2.1, in daemon mode on the source machine, with a script to pull the information to the backup server. Both servers are Xserves running OS X Server 10.2.8. Rsync target is on an Xserve RAID. The RAID has 350GB free, so I'm not running into a disk full situation. My command

I have been trying to use rsyncx to generate a script for rotating backups but it seems to me that the --link-dest option doesn't work properly in my configuration. Instead of creating hard links for all unchanged files it seems that rsync copies everything, as if --link-dest hasn't been specificed. Can somebody clarify what's going on? My script is ptovided below: #rotating backup

Hello everybody, maybe someone has also had this issue: I try to copy the root partition "/" to a subdir "/Volumes/System". This is not a cyclic recursion, because "/Volumes/System" is a mounted hard disk partition. So I gave rsync the parameters "-x" for one-file-system, and '--exclude "/Volumes/" ' also: # rsync -ax --showtogo

Hello, I'm trying to use rsync to periodically restore a test computer from a master disk image on a separate partition. The first time I copy the data from the master partition to the target partition, everything works as expected. But if I do the operation again, rsync indicates that it is copying lots of files that have not changed. More significantly, the disk usage on the target volume

Hi All, I made a Mac UI application and am running rsync 3 from "do shell script" (applescript) and am trying to parse the output so I can get a progress bar to give a fairly true reading of size , or # of files, copied. I notice that the output reads for example, ..... 1650 of 8345 files to copy and then later ....30 of 11345 files to copy and eventually down to ....1 of

I am attempting to backup the Users directory on my desktop running OS X 10.3.6. I am backing up to Jaguar Server 10.2.8. I am using RsyncX version 2.1 on both systems. RsyncX Server is set up to run on both systems however in this instance the Rsync client is my desktop and server is Panther Server. When I kick off an RsyncX session, RsyncX will run for a while, then stop part of the way

Hi I am a rsync (on Mac OS X, RsyncX version with extended HFS+/-eahfs forks) beginner (I merely use it for backing up my desktop machine to a bootable external firewire volume, so that I can resume work in case of a harddrive disaster) and I got these messages: mknod "/Volumes/backup/Applications/Plone2/Sites/Default/var/zopectlsock" failed: Invalid argument mknod

Package: logcheck-database Version: 1.2.26 Severity: normal Hi, the file courier contains the line: ^\w{3} [ :0-9]{11} [._[:alnum:]-]+ pop3d-ssl: Unexpected SSL connection shutdown\.$ This triggers the security logcheck section because of the word "shutdown". Quick fix is to move or duplicate this line to violations.ignore.d/logcheck-courier. BTW: It looks like the courier package

Hi all, I'm setting up a backup script for my Mac, and I'm wondering about the rsync ability of dealing with HFS+ filesystem (resource-fork and such...). I've searched the mailing list archive for this topic and I've found some thread regarding it, but it's not clear to me what is the actual situation. Is the HFS+ officially supported? Will it be in the near future?

I have a feature request for rsync. I tried posting it to the FAQ-o-matic, but that system didn't seem to be accepting new questions. I hope this is an okay list for the request--apologies if it's misdirected. Mac OS X provides support for the Mac file system resource forks and mac specific metadata (e.g., creator and file type). Most Unix applications ignore this information, but it

I am unable to run Generals, or Generals: Zero Hour with wine. The splash screen comes up, but then it says it cannot locate the DVD - which is in the drive and it actually whirls up to speed when the splash screen starts... Any ideas?

Hi all, After applying some updates onto a Debian web server, I rebooted it. However it will no longer start, and generates this error in XenCenter: 22/12/2011 09:57:45 Error: Starting VM ''Web Server'' - Using <class ''grub.GrubConf.Grub2ConfigFile''>; to parse /boot/grub/grub.cfg - WARNING:root:Unknown directive load_video - WARNING:root:Unknown directive

I'm working on R1.1.1 and was wondering if there is a way to check how much memory an object would require, a.k.a. a way to check whether the object you'd like to create is going to exceed the heap memory available? Something to the effect of: if ( memorycheck(object) > vsize ) { don't create object } else { create object } Thanks in advance for any help, Michael

Hi Jason, Here's rsync10.3xattr_supportv0.6.diff. You can find fileflags.diff and crtimes.diff (that are not from me, but I strongly recommend you to install) here: http://samba.anu.edu.au/ftp/rsync/src/rsync-patches-3.0.5.tar.gz As you could see in the mail from the mail-list, this version have a bug with filenames containing slashes ("/"). They are converted to colons

I'm trying to use rsync to backup some database files on a Linux box to an OS X machine, so I can write them to a tape drive connected to the OS X machine. I'm aware that there are some "issues" about rsync and certain file forks found on HFS+ filesystems, but I'm not sure that should be stopping me from accomplishing what I want to do. I'm using rsync 2.5.5 on both
