similar to: Write only changed blocks to disk using rsync client only

Hi, I have the following script that I'm writing to backup my gentoo linux system. ----- start of script ----- #!/bin/sh # # RSYNC_OPTS="--archive --one-file-system --perms --executability --progress --stats --delete-after --hard-links --keep-dirlinks --verbose --inplace" RSYNC_USER="bs" RSYNC_SERVER="192.168.6.6" RSYNC_MODULE="ben-desktop"

I have a script transferring some backup files onto a USB stick, which has limited space. I use rsync 3.0.5 with the following command: rsync -av --delete-before /local/backups/dir/backup1_todaysdate /local/backups/dir/backup2_todaysdate /local/backups/dir/backup3_todaysdate /USBstick/backups/dir The USB stick runs out of space if more than 1 backup set is put on it, so I'd assumed that by

I thought rsync, would calculate checksums of large files that have changed timestamps or filesizes, and send only the chunks which changed. Is this not correct? My goal is to come up with a reasonable (fast and efficient) way for me to daily incrementally backup my Parallels virtual machine (a directory structure containing mostly small files, and one 20G file) I?m on OSX 10.5, using rsync

Hi List, I had a need recently to efficiently synchronise between some large LUNs (boot drive disks) at two different datacentres. Solutions like drbd and $proprietary_array_vendors_software were overkill - we only needed (wanted!) to periodically synchronise these LUNs whenever major changes were generated on the source. On the other hand however, re-sending the entire disk contents each time

Is it possible to tell rsync *not* to use file names, date stamps, etc and only use the checksum for deciding if a file is the same? the remote machine "normalizes" a set of file names to remove all punctuation marks and forces all file names to lower case. The files themselves are unchanged. --checksum looks promising but it does not say anything about file names: -c, --checksum

Hi Friends, I am using rsync to copy data from Production File Server to Disaster Recovery file server. I have 100Mbps link setup between these two servers. Folder structure is very deep. It is having path like /reports/folder1/date/folder2/file.tx, where we have 1600 directories like 'folder1', daily folders since last year in date folder and 2 folders for each date folder like folder2

I have been doing some experiments with rsync on btrfs, a copy-on-write file system that is approaching or having just achieved production-ready status depending on your requirements. For my purposes the reliability appears by almost all accounts to be there, and the compression alone makes it very compelling. However the following two experiments show rsync behaviors that are disappointing to

Hi All, For a backup purpose I'm trying to transfer only the changed blocks of large files. Thus I've run "rsync" with the appropriate options: RSYNC_BKPDIR=`mktemp -d` rsync \ --archive \ --no-whole-file \ --inplace \ --backup \ --backup-dir="$RSYNC_BKPDIR" \ --verbose \ --stats \ /var/backups/mysql-dbs/. \ /mnt/bkp/var/backups/mysql-dbs/. The

Hi All We want to use rsync to backup a live Berkley db to a remote site. BDB has a requirement that read has to be in the unit of db page size. So wonder how could we make sure that rsync can follow that? If we need to change the code, where we should begin to look at? Thanks! Ming

I am running jungledisk and this is my script: #!/bin/sh ### Backs up office data to Jungledisk using rsync LOGFILE=/var/log/backup-jd.log ## Start in rc.local or here #/usr/local/bin/jungledisk mount /mnt/s3 echo "`date +"%F %R"`: Start backup-jd" >> $LOGFILE rsync -r --inplace --size-only --bwlimit=50 /home/shares/allusers/127 /mnt/s3 echo "`date +"%F

This is not the case. If you see my original post you would have noticed that the delta transfer finds only

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

I am looking to do state-full resume of rsync transfers. My network environment is is an unreliable and slow satellite infrastructure, and the files I need to send are approaching 10 gigs in size. In this network environment often times links cannot be maintained for more than a few minutes at a time. In this environment, bandwidth is at a premium, which is why rsync was chosen as ideal for the

Hi @all! I have two questions: - First, am I right that the chance of getting the same 32-bit rolling checksum is 1/2^16 and to get the same 128-bit MD5 Hash is 1/2^127? - Finally I want two know if it is possible to change an amount of blocks manually? e.g. I made a 100 MB file with "dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/test.xyz bs=1M count=100" and know I want to change, lets say, 10 blocks of

I am trying to transfer a group of files in whole using rsync using the ?files-from option across a network with high bandwidth but relatively high latency. When I log into the remote machine I see an rsync command running like thus: rsync --server --sender -Re.sf -B16384 --files-from=- --from0 . / Note that I have used the -B option to increase block size but that seems to just apply to the

We are using rsync to pull backups created on our server. The command below is run as a cronjob and it works great. rsync -avu --rsh "ssh -l root" root@servername:/var/lib/mysql/backups/ /backups/mysql/ We have a new server that will replace the old server that rsync pulls backups from. On the system that is running rsync, I switched the servername in the command above to the new
