similar to: How to specify "--link-dest" on server (rsyncd.conf)?

Can anyone shed any light on what I should expect from rsync when the --link-dest option is invoked when the destination is a remote rsync module? i.e. rsync --archive --delete --link-dest=../dst_1/ /src/ user@host::xyz/dst_0 I almost expected to get a whole lot of hard links in dst_1 to unchanged files in dst_0... if I skip rsyncd on the server side (i.e. make the target

Hello all, I'm not a total newbie, but probably close enough. I have tried to find the answer to this question, but have been unsuccessful. I'm testing out rsync over ssh using empty passphrases between 2 OpenBSD 3.5 boxes using rsync 2.5.7 (yes i know i should upgrade, but can't because of BSD ports issues). Everything seems to be working, but I'm very confused as to why it is

Hello, (I found a post in the archives titled "link_dest checks perms despite no -p -o or -g" on April 7th, which might be related - not sure...) I'm trying to get a rotating daily backup going with previous days kept as hard links to save on network transfer and disk space. The plan: on day N, rsync to blah/N/, using --link-dest=../<N-1> (modulo 7 or whatever). My test

It seems to me that rsyncd.conf does not provide an option akin to rsync's --one-file-system command line argument. If that is true, it seems like a bug of ommission, as I now face a use case where I need it. Is there maybe some technical reason for the ommission? Thanks, -- Lester Hightower

Hello, I have read through the list of previous issues regarding this issue but haven't been able to resolve mine. I apologize in advance for the long text and am probably doing some simple typo. I have two servers in my setup: *Server 1* Doing rsync with --link-dest daily and working as expected. I'm getting the hard links in the new daily directories. *Server 2* Running rsync daemon

Thanks for the reply. The link-dest is different. It is Feb 1 while the source is Feb 2. I tried setting path = /media/external/ for the daemon and using rsync -a -v -i --delete --link-dest=backup-2016-02-01-0100 --password-file=/media/external/scripts/offsite_rsync.pass /media/external/backup/backup-2016-02-02-0100 backup at 192.168.2.102: :offsite/backup So all three (link-dest, source,

Hi, I have installed rsync on CentOS4, Installation went through ok and I tested it as well by copying a folder to mounted tap backup drive. But now I need to run rsync as daemon(server), trying to find /etc/rsyncd.conf file but there is no rsyncd.conf file exists under /etc directory. Having read online I found out that /etc/rsyncd.conf file needs to be manually created. Is there any sample

Hello, Rsync is working great for me right now, using version 2.6.5 on two Solaris 9 V100 servers. Box A is the source and box B is the destination, and also box B is my rsync server box. Box A is a rsync client. Yesterdar from Box B I pulled 250 meg just fine from box A with rsync. Today from the client I want to just copy over to the server what files have changed today. So my command

I'm setting rsync up for the first time and would prefer to have the exclude file defined in the conf file, but the exclusions aren't honoured when I define the parameter in rsyncd.conf - although they are when I specify the file in an argument. The server is the remote system and both rsyncd.conf and the exclude file are the same on both local and remote systems. I'm attaching the

I would like to specify an entry in /etc/rsyncd.conf such that it operates on a --one-file-system basis always. The path will point to a filesystem mount point, but there is another filesystem that is mounted in a subdirectory. I want to back up only those files in the pointed to filesystem, and not the one mounted within (in that run, anyway). I do not see such an option in man rsyncd.conf. Is

I have some rsync defined as a server on one of my production systems and use to to sync out various configuration files for services running on the box (dhcpd, dns named.conf files & the like). Both ends are Compaq Alpha/Tru64 5.1 systems running rsync 2.5.5. I'm having a fit trying to include certain files in specific subdirectories under the main path; one such example is below:

I would like to push a file, /home/cfg/temp, from client to a server with rsync in daemon mode to /n2p/cfg directory. How should I set the filter/include/exclude parameters on the server side rsyncd.conf file so server will disallow receiving any files from the client other than /home/cfg/temp? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
