similar to: Listing Changed Files Without Two Copies?

Hello all, I have a strange problem where rsync is copying over all files instead of just the ones that have changed. My setup: -------------- Backup server runs a script that calls rsync in more or less this form: "rsync --rsh=ssh user at remote.server.com:/backups/stuff /localbackup" Of course, I use a # of options, but the main ones are "-axS" Just in case, here are

I am trying to create a one line command that will: 1. Find all files ending in .conf 2. tar these over ssh to a remote server. I have reached this point in my trials. a. I can find the files. b. I can tar them locally. c. I can get a simple fileset tar'ed to a remote server over ssh using tar -zvcf - /some/fileset | ssh host.domain.tld "cat > /backup/tarfile.tar.gz d. I cannot

is there anything special to do this from the daemon server. I've setup the /etc/rsyncd.conf with some filesystems and I would rather originate (control) my rsyncs from this server and not from the hosts that have the data I want. ie. I want to pull not push. for instance my rsyncd.conf [www] comment = www path = /snaps/www numeric ids = true log file = /snaps/rsync/logs/www.log pid file

Hello, I have got three folders: - /home/backup/2008-10-20 - place for differential backup - /mnt/for_backup - folder with files for backup - /home/backup/2008-10-01 - place where the last full backup is My question: is below command prepared correctly to make differential backup? rsync -avPbn --backup-dir=/home/backup/2008-10-20/ --exclude "System Volume Information" --exclude

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 2 Suggestion for rsync. 1)You should have a feature that enables rsync to be able to manage a cluster of web servers with load balancers, so if a person has 100 web servers connected together and running them as a cluster with load balancers, rsync will mount all the hard-drives of the 100 web servers together so they appear as 1 big hard drive. So when a person accesses their website

well, when I tell rsync to compare my home directory with itself, it reports many differences. I'm using rsync version 3.0.7 protocol version 30. I was hoping to use it to verify my backup.

We use rsync to copy files and directories from one server to the other. What options should I give to rsync so that it only copies the modified files? For example server1 may contain a dir which contains just one file that has been modified, how do I get rsync to copy just that one file over? I would like rsync to copy over the files which have been modified on the server1 to server2. This is

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

I am a developer on the LBackup project.

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, 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

I am migrating the main file servers at work onto a new storage platform based on GPFS. I am using RHEL 5.6 with the samba3x packages (aka 3.5.4) recompiled to get the vfs_gpfs and tsmsm modules, with a couple of extra patches to vfs_gpfs module to bring it 3.5.8 level. It is running with ctdb against Windows AD 2008 R2 domain controllers with all the idmapping been held in the AD. In order to

I've got it installed on a 6.7 server, and can back up and restore for Linux. Now I'm trying to do it for some users' WinDoze boxes. Trouble is, all I keep finding on the Web are "how to set it up on Linux", "how to install on Windoze", and how to restore.... First question: how do you *see* a list of the files that have been backed up (you're not going to tell

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
