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 :

I have restored my home directory in the past using rsync but never the entire system. If I rsync / (on my usb drive containing the backup) to / on the computer with a fresh install of the OS, what problems will I run into? What about links? I am presently triple booting 3 linux distros and want to delete one to install something else. The distro I'm installing will be on 3 partitions (/,

Hi, I am getting "rsync warning: some files vanished before they could be transferred (code 24) at main.c(1039) [sender=3.0.6]" now frequently but while using rsync version 2.6, I used to get it rarely. Any idea would be helpful on why rsync 3.0.6 is throwing this warning frequently. Jignesh. -------------- next part -------------- HTML attachment scrubbed and removed

A nightly scripted rsync backup job is giving me this error WARNING: vm/escDebLenny14G-flat.vmdk failed verification -- update discarded (will try again). I've searched the web and I think probably the problem is the source file changed during the copy. However, I haven't seen any explanations for the "will try again" part. Does it try again immediately? If so, does a

Hi, I have two Fedora box and rsync running on both systems. One system ip is 192.168.1.110 and the other is 192.168.1.71. I run manually for the following commands in both systems. my problem is whenever run it asking the user passwd and i cannot run the same automatically using crontab. My question is how to avoid the passwd option... rsync -aPrv rsync://192.168.1.110/detailing/

I run a Virtual Machine that uses SSH to remote forward Windows File Sharing securely across the net. I need to forward several servers and I map them to different high numbered ports on the SSH server (virtual machine), 10139,10140,10141. The virtual machine is connected to a bridge xenbr0 on the host system that also acts as a router - the server and a single interface on the host machine are

Hello, Working a few servers that are transferring data across country with a 75ms delay on a GIGE connection. We can tune the tcp buffers on linux to improve the connections using iperf. Does rsync use the tcp buffers of the OS or does it override these settings? Thanks, Neal -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Hi All, Does rsync support resuming feature? Now, this is the case, when we back a 4GB file, for example. I have backed up for about 2GB in progress, and we found this is a connnection problem to Internet, so we simply re-plug the net-cable and do rsynce again. Currently, I found rsync have to re-transfer the 4GB file again. Is there any way out of the problem or simply an option will do?

Moin, I wrote a backup script, that use rsync and its hardlink features. Now I want to implement a new feature to my script: crypt the backuped files. But I wonder how this can be done? Because rsync check if the source file is different from the target file. But the target file will be allways different if it is crypt; right? Any idea? Thanks -- |Michael Renner E-mail:

Recently I've found out about rsync and wanted to use this to mirror local disks on one of my servers. I first ran Ghost for Linux to get the exact clone I was looking for, and now I'm ready to setup rsync to keep my drives mirrored on a continual basis. Here's my setup: 1 Seagate 4.6GB SCSI on /dev/sda, mounted like this: /dev/sda1 ==> /boot - 101M /dev/sda2 ==> swap - 269M

Hi, I want to rsync a large number of files from A to B, but I need to exclude certain files. Specifically, A has /test/runs/{1,2,3,...,2500}, i.e., about 2500 directories here. However, I only want to transfer the directories that are numbered 2000 or higher, i.e., I want to exclude /test/runs/{1,2,3,...,1999}, so I tried this: rsync --include='/test/runs/***' \

Short of backing up entire disks using dd, I'd like to collect all required information to make sure I can restore partitions, disk information, UUIDs and anything else required in the event of losing a disk. So far I am collecting information from: - fdisk -l - blkid - lsblk - grub2-efi.cfg - grub - fstab Hoping that this would supply me with /all/ information to restore a system - with the

I was just pondering: Lets look at Server A with one extra harddisc hdb, where hdb1 is mounted at /mnt/folder. /mnt/folder is the folder which should be mirrored on Server B. So Server B rsyncs rsynch -a -delete server::folder /folder from Server A and gets all the new files and deletes all the files, which doesn't exist on Server A's /mnt/folder anymore. What would happen,
