similar to: preserving Mac OS X metadata in rsync backups and restores

Hi all, I'm planning on implementing this in my new upcoming dovecot instance, and would like to hear thoughts on how best to accomplish this. We will be paying Timo's support company to do the work, but obviously, the less work in the form of coding he has to do to get this working (I'm hoping it won't be a lot), the more money it will save us... ;) First - I currently use

Hello guys, sorry for cross-posting, but imho it could be an error in my rsnapshot setup as well as in my rsync setup. If there is a solution on one of these mailing-lists i will post it to the other one as well. ok? here is my question: when running rsnapshot, my exclude filter is being ignored, but i don't see why. grep -v "#" /etc/rsnapshot-debx40.conf | grep . gives

Hello, yesterday i posted this issue on snapshot-discuss at listsourceforge.net (subject: wondering why backup wont start), but after reading the FAQ and searching the bugzilla DB i thought it could help to post here as well. i have a problem. But let me first describe my setup. i followed this howto: http://dev.kprod.net/?q=linux-backup-rsnapshot-no-root Now there is a backup server rpi-home

I am using rsync/rsnapshot on Windows XP (via cygwin) to backup to a mapped share (/u) on a Linux server. I’m hoping to get this to work so that I don’t have to open an XP share to the network for Linux “pull” backups. My current setup doesn’t seem to give me incremental backups. See the “du” output… $ /usr/bin/du -csh /cygdrive/u/docs_bkup/daily.0/ /cygdrive/u/docs_bkup/daily.1/

Hi, New to this list, but long-time (appreciative) user of rsync. Grateful for any help with my problem here... In particular, I've been having long-standing issues (just now getting around to trying to resolve them) when I use rsync with '--copy-unsafe-links' alongside the '--delete' parameter. If I use either of these two parameters in isolation (along with other shared

Hi I got rsnapshot working, but I am still unclear about a few things. Say I have intervals daily 7 weekly 4 monthly 12 so running "rsnapshot daily" for seven days will create files daily.0, daily.1, daily.2, daily3, daily.4, daily.5, daily.6 If at the end of the week I do "rsnapshot weekly", then daily.6 gets moved to weekly.0 The next time daily runs, 5 will move to 6,

Hey folks, I did some googling on this but did not come up with much. I'm using rsnapshot which uses rsync, and I notice some pretty long pauses in the xfers as you can see on this graph from "munin". THe machine in question right at the moment is doing nothing but rsyncing ( rsnapshoting ) some 12T of NAS storage to local disk, so there is nothing else going on at all.

Once rsync has passed through a given section of the tree, it will not see any subsequent changes. I think you miss my meaning. Consider this sequence of events: * "find" begins and processes dirA and then dirB * another application writes

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi folks, I would like to do incremental backups of the users' maildir directories to a dedicated backup host (using "rsync -SHa" and rsnapshot). Problem is: Dovecot bloats the incremental backup by changing the file names again and again. Is there some way to tell Dovecot to keep meta information separate from the file names? Any

Folks I have been using rsnapshot for years now. The only problem I've found is that it is possible to run out of inodes. So my heads-up is that when you create the file system, ensure you have more than the default inodes - I usually multiply the default by 10. Otherwise you can find your 1Tb USB drive failing after 259Mb and you can't then recover the files. Rather embarrassing. >

I am using rsnapshot <http://www.rsnapshot.org/> to make snapshots of my filesystem. rsnapshot uses rsync to do all the heavy lifting. I was recently browsing my snapshots and discovered that none of the excluded files or files deleted in the source are getting deleted from the snapshot. rsnapshot calls rsync like this: /usr/bin/rsync -a --delete --numeric-ids --relative --delete-excluded

Hi, I'm having some problems with a script in /etc/cron.daily. It's quite simple: ------ #!/bin/sh touch /mnt/Backup/foo rsnapshot daily ----- So the touch gets executed, but the rsnapshot not. If I run manually > run-parts /etc/cron.daily/ everything's fine. Also when I run rsnapshot from roots crontab. So I have no idea what's the issue here. Any ideas / recommendations

Hello list, I'm trying rsnapshot for taking snapshots of data. It's based on rsync. While running a rsnapshot job on my member server to sync files to another the IO is very slow. I did a mount of the samba share of the backup server on the production server. It's mounted rw with vers=2.1 and a credentials file. While rsnapshot is running it takes a long time to finish the sync.

Slightly OT maybe: at a customer we run the main data share on the samba file server (access defined via Windows ACLs) ... so far no surprise ;-) then we let a 2nd server pull snapshots via rsnapshot (you know: https://rsnapshot.org/) and provide the resulting tree of snapshots via samba again: read-only, only for some admin users So far OK, runs for years (although it gets slower, other topic)

Hi, I'm a happy camper @ rsync (and rsnapshot) since years. Thanks for this major piece of software. In an attempt to reorganize my rsnapshot backups, I stumbled across an issue, that I'm trying to seeking a more sophisticated solution here. Given, I have a deeply branched tree, where I would like to include a specific directory deep under, while excluding anything else on that path,

I want to make a full disk image backup of my disk with rsnapshot/rsync that I can restore on a new disk. Part of my /etc/rsnapshot.conf looks like follows: exclude /proc exclude lost+found exclude /media exclude /sys exclude /dev exclude /tmp exclude /dev backup / localhost/ My questions are ... can I use the backup and copy everything from localhost/hourly.0 ---> / of

Hi, I am experiencing segfaults when transferring files via rsync though sudo. Setup: - Backupserver initiates the rsync command with --delete -vvv --no-inc-recursive --numeric-ids --delete-excluded --relative --rsync-path=/home/backupuser/rsync-wrapper.sh - rsync-wrapper.sh (on the client) contains /usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/rsync "$@"; - user "backupuser" has sudo access to the
