Hello all, I am wondering if it would be possible to write a script or a cronjob in linux using Rsync to run an automated backup of a server, or serveral servers if possible. I am very new with writing scripts and such, so any help or suggestions with how to get started would be great!!! Thanks ahead of time for the help!!! ----- Computers are like air conditioners.

Hi, all. I'm new to rsync so please bear with me... I'm trying to back-up to a remote host (rsync locally works fine) & keep getting the below error messages. If I mount the remote host on my OS X box (I'm attempting to back-up my Debian boxes) the operation flows smoothly. I've upgraded my rsync version to the same as the remote host, chmod'd the permissions on the

Hello, I've just spent several hours going over several Google searches trying to find a way to configure rsync to log into a file named "/var/log/rsync.log". So far, every instance where I've found someone asking about rsync logging remained unanswered (which is kind of weird in itself). As far as I can tell, the only way to do this is to setup rsync as a daemon process so

Gang, I've read the manual(s), surfed google, spent about 5 hours on this, to no avail.... I'm trying to run rsync in server mode and it appears to start normally, but it refuses all connections (refuses connection when I tried telnetting in on localhost 873!). I've turned off all firewalls on this server (do I dare tell you guys that?...), which is fine: it is on a local network. I

Hi, I've a problem with rsync 2.6.2 and the daemon. I've installed it precisly as I did with 2.6.0 (I've tried before with 2.6.1 and was having the same problems as now with 2.6.2). When I try to a rsync --daemon command the rsync offcourse finishes, but in the log file it says 2004/05/04 21:15:10 [22369] rsyncd version 2.6.2 starting, listening on port 873 2004/05/04 21:15:10

Hi, I have setup a rsync server with a rsync running as a deamon, due to security rules I cannot open the rsync standard port (873) in the firewall. We have to tunnel rsync through ssh. On the client side, which is linux kernel 2.4 I have made the following script, but ssh -i /home/ifao/bin/traveltest -f -C -L 2211:cib.ifao.net:8730 cytric@localhost sleep 1000 rsync -auz --password-file=rsync.cib

I have been using rsync in daemon mode to get backups of systems. The daemon would not start on one system. Gave the syslog message that the 'Address already in use'. netstat, lsof, ps - nothing exposed the process that was taking the port. It would not time out and magically start either. I started rsync on a different port and it ran fine. This still was not a great solution, as I

Hi, Few days a go one of my rsync server stop respond. When I tried to figure out way, I discover that rpc.statd is listen to port 873. Killing the rpc.statd process bypass the problem.

Hi gurus! First time post: Scenario want to talk to daemon locked behind a firewall using encrypted transfer of files. Have daemon setup on port 10001. Do not have NC, do not have root access.
