similar to: rsync on OSX for transferring files using FAT32

Hi, Which version of Mac OS X are you running? If you are on Mac OS 10.5.x then I can only suggest that you try either formating the drive to HFS + or creating a disk image with an HFS+ file system. If you are running Mac OS 10.4.x then ensure that that ACL support is enabled on the drive. The following URL contains information on how to check and enable ACL support :

Hello - I am having trouble getting getting rsync to work - or atleast, work cleanly. I have looked and looked, but have found no one with similar problems. So here I am: I appreciate any tips you might have, and apologize if I missed something obvious. Here is the setup: rsync host: iMac running Mac OS X 10.5.6 rsync version 3.0.4 protocol version 30 Capabilities: 64-bit files,

Hi, I'm trying to make a small script to get rid of Apple's TimeMachine. The aim is to backup the files of my company. I setup a MacMini with a lot of storage attached to it. The MacMini connects every once in a while to our data server (XServe) through SSH and pulls the files that need to be saved (I'm using the --link-dest option to limit the amount of files transferred, and to keep

Hello all, I was eager to test the fresh release with MacOS X using "bbouncer" This is how I compiled and run the tests: patch -p1 <patches/osx-create-time.diff patch -p1 <patches/fileflags.diff ./prepare-source patch -p1 <patches/backup-dir-dels.diff ./configure make make test sudo make install Then compiling and running "bbouncer" from

Awesome work Wayne. I have been following the various threads about running rsync 3.0.0 on MacOS X 10.4.11 and wanted to confirm that following all the various bits of advice yields a clean running rsync (as tested by backup bouncer). I am running MacOS X 10.4.11 on PPC. The following is a synopsis of my installation procedure (as gathered from the various emails in the archive) - note

I have also been eager to test bbouncer The latest source passes with flying colours! but make check finds some problems with xattrs if not run by sudo I have xattr in /usr/local/bin/ from the source found at: http://dev.bignerdranch.com/public/bnr/eXttra.zip What I did: cd /usr/local/Source rsync -av --exclude=.git/ rsync://rsync.samba.org/ftp/unpacked/rsync . rsync -av --exclude=.git/

Hi All, I'm trying a remote backup for the first time. It is between two laptops, I installed rsync 3.0.7 on both compiled patch -p1 <patches/fileflags.diff patch -p1 <patches/crtimes.diff patch -p1 <patches/crtimes-64bit.diff patch -p1 <patches/crtimes-hfs+.dif f patch -p1 <patches/hfs_compression.diff ./configure make this all works perfectly for local backups, clones

Hello, I need to run rsync on a mac (OS X 10.6.5) with the --detect-renamed option available. I therefore started to compile rsync with the 3 relevant patches (in my opinion) : - fileflags.diff - crtimes.diff - detect-renamed.diff Here are my exact compile instructions : patch -p1 <patches/fileflags.diff patch -p1 <patches/crtimes.diff patch -p1 <patches/detect-renamed.diff

What patch files are necessary to build rsync-3.0.9 for OS X 10.6.8 (Darwin 10.8.0)? Mr. Bombich maintains an excellent page about this, but it's a bit out of date, methinks, and his instructions point to patch files that return some interesting errors. My rsync-3.0.9 is working just fine, btw, with the fileflags and crtimes and hfs-compression patches applied; I just wondered if the others

Hi All, I just tried (on OS10.5.2) the new fileflags.diff patch patch -p1 <patches/fileflags.diff patch -p1 <patches/crtimes.diff (see result below- I fixed the rej's ) then ./configure make then tried it out but it isn't copying the creation dates now.... just wondering if I missed something ..

Hello all, I have trouble to use rsync (tested with 3.0.2 and 3.0.3pre2) on MacOS X 10.3. Rsync always seems to stop when working on open files (?). Source is my laptop hard disk, destination a USB attached external drive. If I stop Firefox for instance all runs smoothly. This is how I built rsync: #!/bin/bash # VERSION=3.0.2 VERSION=3.0.3pre2 DIR="rsync-$VERSION"

Hello, Object of my mail : 1/ stick a problem of incompatibylity between 2 patches (fileflags.diff & detect-renamed.diff) 2/ proposition of a correction I wanted to run rsync on a mac (OS X 10.6.5) with the --detect-renamed option.

Precisions: If I run my patched rsync on 10.4 instead of 10.3, it's my function that returns an error: rsync: rsync_xal_set: lsetxattr("Src/60-bsd-flags/dir-with- flags","com.apple.FinderInfo") failed: Unknown error: -5000 (-5000) And error -5000 means: afpAccessDenied -5000 User does not have the correct access to the file Directory cannot be shared Available in Mac OS

I've been getting spurious unnecessary copying of files on OSX when using the crtimes patch and the --crtimes -H options (version 3.0.4). I can reliably demonstrate it (on OSX 10.5) by doing this several times (as root): rsync -v -N -axHAX --delete-during --fileflags --force-change /usr/ bin/ /tmp/foo/ I think I've tracked it down to the hard-link processing code in

Hello, I'm setting up a system for automated synchronization and backup between different macs (OS X Lion 10.7). I use HFS+ Journaled as filesystem. I wanted to follow these guidelines: http://www.bombich.com/rsync.html but I gave a look inside the patches Mr. Bombich suggested and I thought I could try first by using only the normal ones provided by rsync.samba.org, so I skipped curl -o

Hello! I've been trying 3.0.8 on OS X 10.6.7 today and have been getting some errors.

Hi Wayne, Trying out 3.1 pre 1 on OSX 10.8.4 I like the new extended stats and the ir-chunk file numbers in log.
