Hello I am making backup of a Plesk Debian server to /backup using Rsync. My questioin is how can I preserve the ctime, mtime, and atime of original files? Thanks

Dear List, I just googled "superlifter" and found below link, but I can't get any source code. http://superlifter.sourceforge.net/ Any help or info on this is mostly appreciated. And sorry for the trouble, if it's NOT allowed to post here. THanks. -- Daniel

Hi I have a single filesystem i don't mount noatime because mutt would work very good otherwise. Today, in a discussion about mkisofs, i learned that Linux since 2.6.8 supports "O_NOATIME" as an option to open. (see "man 2 open") So how comes that rsync doesn't do that and/or there is no option to switch on that behaviour? Bis denn -- Real Programmers

Hello Everyone, I have been reading the rsync code for the past few days and Iam finding it hard to understand how the file list works. The info that I am looking for is - "Are the files processed in the same order in both the receiver and generator processes?". Thanx in advance for all the replies. zahed. -- View this message in context:

Hello all, Thanks for all the ideas. I liked the remote to remote idea and have told my guide about it. Anyways, can anybody tell me which files to look into, if I want to look at the code for file reconstruction. I have studied Dr. Tridgell's thesis on the Rsync Algorithm and have understood the working of the algorithm. Now, I am trying to read the code to understand it better. Any help

Hi! I've just tried to do a backup of a machine with rsync. While doing this (I was reading emails:-) I noted that mbox for mbox, I had no longe new mails, but I've never read off these mailboxes lately... This seemed to be a st_atime problem, and indeed, I could verify that. This is what I used for backup: rsync --archive \ --recursive \

I am rsyncing several hunderds of thousands of files in several directories. The way I got rsync to work for me was I wrote a script which NFS mounts the directory I am rsyncing first before starting, and then it goes through the directories and rsyncs them in bite sizeable chunks by going a few directories deep and starting there.. Is there any way to have this as an option inside rsync

Hello, I'm currently evaluating the possibility of implementing a rsync client in a project for my company. The platform used is currently not supported and implementing the client from scratch currently seems to be the most feasible approach. For that I'd be very much interested in a description of the protocol that rsync talks on port 873. Is such a description available somewhere? I

Hi there, I haven't yet delved into the rsync source code, and thus would need to ask a few questions first before going into the wrong direction. We have not, one but several cases[1] of doing Disaster Recovery type backup/synchronization with typically 1 to 2 million of files. Now yes, I know I can go and write a perl/python/<flavour_of_the_year> script to recursively do the

Hello, since we are using rsync for backing up millions of files in a virtual environment, and most of the virtual machines run on SSD cached storage, i`d be curious how that negatively impacts lifetime of the SSD`s when we do rsync run every night for backup my question: does rsync normal file comparison run to determine if anything has changed change atime of any files ? for me it seems,

For the small number of people who are checking this out, I released version 0.05 a couple days ago (and only mentioned it on my new-protocol web page) followed today by 0.06. Some highlights of the two releases: - We handle symlinks now in our recursive synchronization mode. - Directory scanning is no longer limited to one active directory at a time (which was sorely needed when all the

A clean design allows optimization to be done by the compiler, and tight optimization

I've used LVM on servers with hot-swap drives to migrate to new storage without downtime a number of times. Add new drives to the system, configure RAID (software or

Most fixes are trivial. The one from Alex is fixing a real bug that several users have reported. Alex sent the patch half a year ago and it was not yet integrated. The patch "Use /proc/mounts instead of /etc/mtab" is a repost. The patch "btrfs-receive optionally honors the end-cmd" is a preparation step to allow backup tools to multiplex a single communication stream (e.g. a

Bradley, and the rsync development team, I came across the following message on the rsync bug tracking system, while searching for just this feature (access time preservation)... http://rsync.samba.org/cgi-bin/rsync/incoming?id=2509;expression=atime;user=guest ... where it is written... > Date: Mon, 7 Feb 2000 02:59:42 -0500 > From: "Bradley M.

I would like to suggest that different programs be used for backups than for file distribution. While the two applications have a lot in common, and could probably share a common library, there are some significant differences in what they need to do. These differences can add needless complexity to the design if a single program is used to do both. A backup program is mainly concerned with

Hi, Is virsh able to access the VMX config of a virtual machine running on a esxi host? I would like to take backups of my virtual machine configs and the doku section "Converting from VMware VMX config to domain XML config" (http://libvirt.org/drvesx.html) comes close to this - but does not tell how to get access to the vmx file. I would prefer a solution where ssh access to the
