Is there a way to know from the rsync logs how long it took to do a backup? The only timing info,. I see is this at the end: sent 3067328 bytes received 7853035429 bytes 1187888.83 bytes/sec total size is 1559866450336 speedup is 198.55 Can I use it to figure out how long the operation took? Does the above mean it took 2.5 secs of send time and 1.8 hours of recieve time so (roughly) the

I had a recent disaster scenario with rsync. I was wondering if there were any suggestions to guard against in the future: I used to maintain "mirror" backups of the /home dir on our production_server using rsync to a backup_server. The primary server had a rsyncd daemon running and the backup_server had this line in the crontab: 10 01 * * * rsync -av --delete root at

Is there a way to set rsync excludes by filesize? I already do excludes by a wild card on the name but I needed something a bit more sophisticated this time around. I have files with the extension .nc (netcdf files) which tend to be huge before the users post-process them. I want all files with a .nc extension excluded if they are, say, 100+ MB in size. Is there a way to do this via rsync?

I am using rsync to keep a mirror of my 800GB /home (server1). The backup machine is a separate server (servr2). Currently I am running rsync daemon on server2 and invoking rsync daily via cron on server2. Are there design / performance considerations that influence which machine is made the server and which the client? Also, Is the rsync daemon the preferred way to o this backup? I can also

Is there a way to speed up rsync by opening more than one daemon in parallel. I use rsync --daemon to start rsync. I was wondering if opening more than one instance is recommended or feasible? I know that for services like nfs for example I have had opening many instances improve performance. I have 4 cores available so if there are any other parallization modes I'd be glad to know since I

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"

This is a patch to add an --rsync-exclude option to rsync-2.5.6cvs. File names in .rsync- (or .rsync+) are excluded (or included) from the file lists associated with the current directory and all of its subdirectories. This has advantages over --cvs-exclude for backing up large file systems since the .cvsignore files only apply to the current directory: unless the .cvsignore restrictions apply

As mentioned on the rsync home page, the --files-from=FILE option in rsync version 2.6.0 is a useful option that allows one to "specify a list of files to transfer, and can be much more efficient than a recursive descent using include/exclude statements (if you know in advance what files you want to transfer)". However, --files-from does not help one implement the --rsync-exclude=FILE

Hello, I'm configuring rsync to use --exclude-from option however it doesnt work as I want to. I have a directory /source/ which contains additional directories a, b, c. In addition /source/ directory contains some db.* files that I dont want to backup. The tricky part is that subdirectories /source/a, /source/b and /source/c can have their own db* files wich I do want to keep. so how

Hi! I've just tried to do a backup of a machine with rsync. While doing this (I was reading emails:-) I noted that mbox for mbox, I had no longe new mails, but I've never read off these mailboxes lately... This seemed to be a st_atime problem, and indeed, I could verify that. This is what I used for backup: rsync --archive \ --recursive \

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I would add --numeric-ids and --itemize-changes. Up to you if you need --xattrs or --acls. Also, I prefer to do backups by filesystem so I would add - --one-file-system and run one rsync per filesystem. This means you don't have to exclude things like /proc and /dev and any random thing that isn't normally connected but sometimes is but it
