similar to: using rsync to transfer only files and not sub-directories

In case others find this of value, I wrote a patch to rsync 2.5.6 to give rsync in --daemon mode the ability to run a pre-transfer and post-transfer command. These options handle our need to prepare a server to receive files and to do some processing after receiving files. The options for /etc/rsyncd.conf are pretransfer script = /some/command/to/run posttransfer script =

I have a problem with rsync on macintosh copying files that have not been updated. Despite careful reading of the archives, I can't find an explanation (or a fix), but I strongly suspect I'm just missing something that an expert will recognise instantly... Your assistance would be greatly appreciated. I'm running a nightly backup of my photo/home video directory from a partition

Rsync does no locking. Which means that: if you are modifying a file while it's

Hi I was wondering what happens if a file that is regularly synched but seldom changes gets corrupted in the copy. As it seldom (or never) changes the mod time will always be the same. But if the content changes (bit flip, bad HD...) will rsync get this and synch it again? Would I need the -c (crc) flag for this to work? That of course slows things down quite a bit. Is this the only way to

Hello! We are synching some server data (websites, logfiles, ...) with rsync via ssh and are detecting a weird problem: Certain files and directories, apparently those who are regulary rsynced over the WAN, tend to use far too many blocks, e.g.: stat from file on server: File: `bilder.html' Size: 2009 Blocks: 288 IO Block: 4096 regular file [...] The same file (a fresh

Hello I have a problem while synching between two NAS boxes with Linux. First NAS: group staff=50 (3.0.3pre1) Second NAS: groups ftp=50, staff=500 (rsync 3.1.1) I synched with -rptgo, without --numeric-ids. The expected result was that the items on the second group would be staff as well even with a different gid. However it looks like the 50 was taken literally and now all staff items are ftp

Hi All, We are using rsync version 2.6.3 protocol version 28. Is there a way we could transfer files and force rsync not to look for the same user:group as host on the destination?

Hi all, For example,if there is ten subdirectories named sub1~sub10(each including subdirectories and files too),and file1~file10,how can I rsync only sub2 and sub 3 to the target? /---- MyFolder |---------- sub1 |---------- sub2 |---------- sub3 |---------- sub4 |---------- sub5 |---------- sub6 |---------- sub7 |---------- sub8 |---------- sub9

I've been doing some tests of file synchronization with Unison (think "two way rsync"), and run into one problem: Synching between servers has conflicts on the index file. I can manually exclude, but what seems to me to be a really wonderful feature would be to, preferably, make the indexes somewhat atomic, so that files, once written, don't change (this is a feature of maildirs

Hi list, I intend to run an old pentium 133 as a linux-based fileserver on my home network (I have to use windows for my main machine and laptop!) Im having great diffiuculty synching the data, email, etc on my laptop and desktop, so I thought I might configure samba to act as a DC and use roaming profiles to make sure that my data is always synched. My question is this: is it worth the effort?

i'm using rsync for backup and, as rsync can detect if files have vanished during transfer, i wonder how rsync can tell which files got modified during transfer (i.e. which are not consistent on the destination side after transfer) apparently, rsync can't show that information? wouldn't that be an extremely useful feature if rsync could do another additional mtime or even checksum

We are using rsync version 2.6.3 and do not intend to upgrade to the latest version. I am using the following command:- rsync -arv --files-from=./myfile /app/dd/gesb user@rrslx905:/var/log/hhsb I want to mention the file list in the "myfile" as follows:- ABCD/cdef/xyz* (Considering there are more than one files existing with names beginning with xyz) Once I try to transfer files

Funny how a topic will come up that you have never dealt with before, and suddenly it comes up from multiple directions at the same time. I was recently involved in a meeting where TAPI (which I understand only vaguely) was proposed as way to link a custom application to Asterisk for outbound and inbound call processing, much like SugarCRM and probably others are doing. Today I was asked by

Hi We synch between servers, some are NAS with RAIDs, some are simple Linux servers. Sometimes I get messages like: WARNING: path/to/file failed verification -- update retained (will try again). What are the possible reasons for this message? I looked on the Internet and found old posts about a problem with big files. I do get this message with big files (GB) but also with small files

Hi My directory structure is something like following: List of files in /abc/dir/ 20020811 20020812 20020814 20020815 (where directory name above is the date, and daily changes i.e. directories are added and deleted) list of files in /abc/dir/20020811 toid toil etd dt (all the date directories contain the directories as above and

I am sorry if this has been covered before: I have done a couple of futile searches in the bug reporting system and is there any way to search the archive? I am having a strange symptom: I am synching directories (that have very long file names, by the time the full path is specified) and a lot of hard links. It seems that the directory is being copied piecemeal - that is, if I run rsync enough

Except some of those dir have subdir such as WhatsApp and DCIM has multiple subdirs too. I would rather do it all with rsync though.

This is a quick question.....Is there any way to allow W2K users access to a share on a linux machine without having to have synched passwords between samba and W2k...(maybe just leave the password field for samba blank?). A while back we had Novell servers and were constantly worrying about password synchs, is this going to be the case with RedHat as well?

Hi, same here, this doesn't seeem to be fixed with latest pigeonhole and dovecot release.
