similar to: are hardlinks supported when rsyncing over ssh?

Does anyone have a good distributed backup strategy? I've been revising mine for a year or so now and always realize there's some hole or another in it. I get the feeling to do it exactly the way I want it needs to be complex, but I'm looking for something elegant. My data consists of some of these representative folders: .mozilla Documents Pictures .ssh Music bin And these

Hi list, I have been reading MAN pages and listarchives, but not found the answer to my question though I am sure it must be possible to acheive my wish. I wish to use rsync to create a backup BUT only keep the files for a limited period of time, EG two weeks. I have not yet been able to figure out how to do this inside rsync (while the backup is being performed) and my understanding of the

Hi everyone, I have been using rsync for years to perform off-site backups, and have recently come up with a problem that is starting to hurt my head. I am at the point where I am starting to think that there is a method to achieve my desired outcome that I cannot see. First, a bit of history. I usually just set up a script that runs many rsync commands in sequence to perform the desired

I am a developer on the LBackup project. An LBackup user recently posted a question to the mailing list asking about the following error. > "rsync: unpack_smb_acl: sys_acl_get_info(): Unknown error: 0 (0)" Link to thread : <http://www.mail-archive.com/lbackup-discussion at lists.connect.homeunix.com/msg00040.html> My understanding of this error is that when copying files via

Normally I would use the --link-dest option to do this but I can't since I'm rsyncing from a Mac to a Samba share on a Linux box and hard links don't work. What I want to do is create a 10 day rotating incremental backup. I used the first script example on the rsync examples page as a template. The only thing I changed was the destination to be a local directory and paths for

Hi everybody! Since two months I tested a lot with rsync, and found out great things. But I still have a question, maybe two. 1. Was it possible in earlier rsync versions (below version 2.7 I thing, where the ssh option was not set as default) to read out the packets rsync sent? I mean could you read data out of the blocks in clear text, or do you get only ASCII code? 2. How can I get a status

Hi All, I am aware that rsync can be run to just list the files that have changed between the source and destination. I would like to capitalize on that feature to monitor some development that is going on in order to get a complete list of files that have been changed on a server. I realize that I can create an initial rsync of the files to some other location and then sometime later run

Hi Folks I've gone back over the list and the only reference I've found to "Invalid argument (22)" is here: http://lists.samba.org/archive/rsync/2006-May/015478.html That seems a different context of character set mismatches. The common parts to my errors are: rsync: rsync_xal_set: lsetxattr("...","security.selinux") failed: Invalid argument (22) And:

Feature request: allow --link-dest dir to be linked to even if file exists in target. This statement from the man page is adhered to too strongly IMHO: "This option works best when copying into an empty destination hierarchy, as rsync treats existing files as definitive (so it never looks in the link-dest dirs when a destination file already exists)". I was suprised by this behaviour

does somebody use XCode on Mac for RoR instead of TextMate? I wonder how is it compared to TextMate... TextMate uses the default font of Monaco... the Xcode screenshot on Wikipedia uses Courier... I wonder if Xcode looks as good as TextMate when the font is changed to Monaco as well? Thank you. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hello, I would like to specify ports on both hosts to copy files between two remote computeres. Is there any way to do this with scp? The -P flag seems to apply to the port on the second host only. Regards, Miguel

I've installed darwine 1.1.9 on my mac. I've read all of the tutorials and forums that I could find but I'm still not able to solve my problem. I imagine I must be missing something that's so obvious that it doesn't even make its way into a tutorial. I can't run programs. If I start winehelper and try to run a program (say regedit.exe) I get the errors at the end of

Hi, Does GlusterFS implement the Linux VFS functionality. I know its a user space FS, but user space FS should also implement VFS funtions. Is this true also to GlusterFS ?

I'm really confused with all the examples out there and all different types of incremental backups. I tried several scripts but cannot reduce the size of my backup folders. What I want is to backup my documents to my external drive every month and save as much disk space as possible. Lets say I have 3 backup directories in the external drive, backup03.10, backup04.10 and backup05.10. I want

Hi All, I am writing a backup program for my computer. brief outline is as follows. Running ubuntu 10.04 2 main partitions, / and /home, both ext3. 1 external usb hdd, ext3, mounted to /backups/main. once every couple of days, rsync backs up, using following command, everything worth backing up in / and /home partitions to a folder /backups/main/Full. command: "rsync -vrhRupElog

Hi, I have few questions that could not find answers to in documentation. Different filesystems: Lets say I want to keep all extended attributes and everything else, so I use -A, -X, --perms etc., together with --fake-super. Now, lets say source FS supports some attributes not supported on target FS (for example, XFS extended attributes). Would this work as expected (ie. extended attributes are

How do you handle snapshotting? or do you leave that to the block/fs virtualization layer? /kc On Fri, Apr 17, 2015 at 01:35:27PM +1200, Henri Shustak said: >> Our backup procudures have provision for looking back at previous directories, but there is not much to be gained with recycled directories. Without recycling, and after a failure, the latest available backup may not have much

Greetings All, I've been thinking about the current behavior of the --link-dest=DIR option. In the absence of --delete, ALL members of DIR should be linked to the destination (aside from those that are changed). If not, there should at least be a --no-link-dest-delete option. (This latter option might be better to avoid disrupting the behavior of current rsync commands) My rational: This
