similar to: using rsync with scripts (cronjobs) and automated backups

Hi, Presently I have the latest full backup in a 'current' directory and 30 day incrementals in 'YYYY-MM-DD' format directories. Without changing that directory structure I'd like the 'YYYY-DD-MM' directories to contain the full system hardlinked (when applicable) to 'current'. What rsync command-line options could provide me with this? Thanks,

I run an rsync to backup my mail server ever 4 hours. Sometimes, I get these sorts of warnings: Rsyncing... file has vanished: "/usr/local/virtual/*munged1*/new/ 1210876129.43402_0.mail.server.tld" file has vanished: "/usr/local/virtual/*munged2*/courierimapkeywords/. 4036254.1210876052.43312_0.mail.server.tld" file has vanished: "/usr/local/virtual/*munged3*/cur/

I'm wondering if I can use link-dest to compare rsync to a remote directory. rsync -aCHh --stats --link-dest=akane::backup/ranma.daily.1 / myserver::akane/ranma.daily.0 Something like that? Is it going to work like it does when doing a local rsync with a local link-dest directory? Is it going to chew massive amounts of bandwidth? Is there something else I should be doing

I'm currently using rsync and --link-dest to give me something like a poor-man's incremental snapshot to disk. But I really only want to generate a new backup if rsync detects differences, otherwise I don't need a new backup. Currently I do something like this: rsync -a --delete --link-dest=../backup.previous/ source/ backup.next/ diff -r backup.previous backup.next && rm

Dear all, I am facing problem with inserting the scheduled day of Observation in the dataset.

Hi list, I'm trying to turn a date into something productive. (Not what you may be thinking....) I want three functions so I could take a "date" object and get the day of week, month, and year from it. xx <- as.Date("2006-01-05") month(xx) equal 1 day(xx) equal 5 year(xx) equal 2006 I'm aware of the weekdays() and months() functions in the base package. But

Hello, I use rsync (among many other things) as an incremental backup tool. Every night I save /{home,etc,var} from several servers. On one of them we keep 52 weeks of system logs, so each time syslog is rotated all old syslog.x.gz (where x is between 1 and 213) change names. This impacts our backup transfers because the incremental snapshot now has to include all syslog.x.gz files even though

Hello, I use rsync in the company to make a backup every 4 hours. but I would like to do in a way like this, that the rsync make a backup of the changed files until one month long.

Hallo Liste Derzeit mache ich meine ersten Gehversuche mit Linux (SuSE). Bis jetzt habe ich in einem kleinen Netzwerk f?r meine Tauchschule vier Rechner betreut. Einer davon war WinNT-4.0 Server und Arbeitsplatz zugleich. Nachdem ich nicht mehr bereit bin, mich mit dem w?chentlichen "blue screen" und dem monatlichen Neuinstallieren von NT abzufinden, bin ich derzeit beim Umsteigen auf

Dear R-users, I have a basic question about how to determine the antilog of a variable. Say I have some number, x, which is a factor of 2 such that x = 2^y. I want to figure out what y is, i.e. I am looking for the antilog base 2 of x. I have found log2 in the Reference Manual. But I am struggling how to get the antilog of that. Any help will be appreciated! > version platform

Hello, I am very new to rsync and am wanting to have it back up more than 4 remote linux servers via ftp. I want to write a script that will open up a ftp connection using "ftp://username:password@ftp.server.com" with a server, then mount the drive containing the backups, copy the data that is new, unmount the drive, close the connection and move onto the next server until every server

I read the following hint at: http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/#Incremental mv backup.0 backup.1 rsync -a --delete --link-dest=../backup.1 source_directory/ backup.0/ I simply want to maintain a dated backup of a server so that I could always go back to a certain date. I would like to keep this structure for each day for the last seven days, then one weekly snapshot for

I just launched my first ROR app and i need to implement the session database cleanup. I am new to cronjobs. I have used one once but it was all copy/paste. I was hoping someone knew of a good tutorial or resource to get started here or might be able to give me a little help. I have seen a lot of posts that reference setting a cron job to clear old sessions but I am not clear on: Can you

Because systemwide cronjobs are installed in /etc/cron.* directories, not in root user cron file.. Eero 11.10.2015 7.39 ip. "C. L.
