I'm using rsync and I'm very glad, but, in some case, i'm not so happy. Some people are backing up the data with rsync but they have a lot of files, more than 100000 and 20 Gb of data. We are using batch files and the task scheduling system of windows. It is difficult to see if the backup is well done, sometimes, they are error. We try to make some gui, one in java, an other in c++

Hi all, I have been using the cwRsync distribution of Rsync. I currently use a Windows Batch file script to do the work, calling Rsync where necessary. I want to now roll Rsync into my own application, probably developed with C# for the Windows platform. Has anyone done this before? If so, can you point me in the right direction of how to start off? I'm really just looking to create a simple

Hi everyone, So, I am working with an AD environment where there is one 2008R2 DC (which holds the PDC emulator FSMO role) and one Samba DC running on Ubuntu 14.04 (Samba Version 4.1.6-Ubuntu). I have been trying to set up the rsync workaround for SYSVOL replication, but I've been unable to get it working properly due to the inability to compile rsync with xattr support under Windows. My

Hi folks, It may be a very basic question for many people here but I have been struggling with Windows commandline. My CentOS machines are running perfectly fine. Question: I have installed cwRsync server on one of Windows 2003 and cwRsync client on the other Windows 2003. What command should I run to connect to the cwRsync server from the client? and how can I make sure that cwRsync is even

Hi all, Does anyone know of a good & free rsync type program for Windows platforms? Like most of us, I need to work on both Windows & Linux environments, and would like to sync some data (music, videos, photos, documents, thunderbird profiles, FF bookmarks, etc) between a USB HDD, my Linux (CentOS + KDE) PC, and Windows Laptop at the office. I found a program called Toucan (which also

What you can try. Map the sysvol share from the samba to a driveletter on the DC. Add : acl_xattr:ignore system acls = yes Too the sysvol share on samba. Use deltacopy to copy the sysvol I havent tried it, but above seams logical and can work, you just have to try it yourself. If deltacopy does not work, try cwRsync or robocopy. Deltacopy

Hi everyone. I have a problem: I was running rsync --daemon on a Ubuntu 6.10 linux without problems. I used it to sync our company intranet from a Windows host through deltacopy. Then I migrated my system to new hardware and installed Ubuntu 7.10 on it. I run rsync --daemon with the same rsyncd.conf file and it?s not listening to any requests. I?m trying to sync the same directories from the

I am using deltacopy (uses rsync) to backup up a drive in windows vista to a freenas server. Before moving to vista, had the system working fine (on a windows xp machine). The command used for the backup is: rsync.exe -v -rlt -z --delete "/cygdrive/F/TXT/" "nas::160d/_Acer_F/TXT/" As a result of this command, rsync should create a dir (not on nas) and then copy some files

I am backing up customers data over a vpn using rsync. Someone requested to sign up for my offsite backup and they have exchange. I am wondering the best way to backup exchange with rsync. Can I just stop the services before the backup and then restart them afterward. Their uptime isn't critical so being down for an hour at 1am or something like that wouldn't be too bad. Any help

I want to use rsync to backup a couple of Windows systems to a central point. To this end I installed the "DeltaCopy" implementation of an rsync server on the Windows boxes. On the central server I have rsync 3.0.7 running on a Debian GNU/Linux distribution. (I also have a similar configuration but with a QNAP - a NAS with bells on - as the central backup point. Since both exhibit

Hello all, I am having a problem rsyncing from windows to linux, or rather, keeping the file permissions the way I want them. My project is basically to keep two identical directories, one in Windows and one in Linux, mirrored, but they must retain their user and group permissions. what rsync commands can I use to ensure that the windows permissions do not get copied over to linux? I have tried

Dear Wayne, I am using rsync to synchronize my working files from home computer to the work computer. I want to sync only the files in some directories and no .files. However, I do need to sync several files from .mozilla director (addressbook, calendar and bookmarks) which are located in the .directory.

I have seen people say both that rsync can efficiently copy truecrypt volumes. I got it working once with deltacopy but as I'm trying to get it to work from the command line, I cannot. It just transfers the whole file. I am using -rvs -inplace switches. Does anybody have any suggestions? _____________________________ Stephen Zemlicka Integrated Computer Technologies PH.

Hi! Let's share an info about Windows rsyncs or rsync-compatibles that works wint Windows native libs, not cygwin. The main task - find a solution with Unicode support. I know two: Unison - has a problems with Unicode filenames like cygwin does. DeltaCopy - found it just a few minutes ago, can't try from home so can't comment out. Any others? G.

Hi, This is a kind of scenario question for best practices -- within limits. I've inherited a less than ideal backup situation: backups are transferred from Samba to Windows. I can't get out of this situation without major re-engineering and the only problem is the time it takes to do full backups. Specifically: -200GiB is taking a few days to backup -Cpio is doing the backup across

I have an opensolaris server running with a raidz zfs pool with almost 1TB of storage. This is intended to be a central fileserver via samba and ftp for all sorts of purposes. I also want to use it to backup my XP laptop. I am having trouble finding out how I can setup solaris to allow my XP machine to backup on a regular schedule, do I look for programs for XP or does solaris have some built in

how do you backup system files like /etc/ over ssh to another machine and keep permissions the same on the remote backup location ? i tried using -a flag, but because i'm connecting through ssh i'm not using Rsync module on the remote computer and therefore i cant write files as root so -a flag is not working. all the files are being written with owner SSH_USER and group SSH_USER_GROUP i
