Hi, Linux-Ubuntu here. English is not my first language. The man rsync is difficult to understand. I want to backup some folders recursively and some files, see [1] in my /home dir to an external USB HD (Ext4). I want to use a text file for the purpose. [1] /home/user/Documents /home/user/Software /home/user/.evolution/addressbook/local/system/addressbook.db

Hi, I'm confused as to the purpose of rsync modules. I know how to set them up in rsyncd.conf, and can list the available modules on a remote linux machine using 'rsync camlinux01::' from a Win32 client, but I can't find any information on what they are actually for. The man page for rsyncd.conf talks about them as if they are vitaly important, but the man page for rsync

Up until recently, I was running a standard rsync/rsh to rsyncd server combination to sync files. Due to security concerns, I'd like to switch to rsync through ssh. I'm testing with the following from the client side: rsync --verbose --progress --stats --compress --rsh="/usr/local/bin/ssh -p XXXX" \ --recursive --times --perms --copy-links --delete \ /rsynctest/test1

The rsync tutorial is for new rsync users. Three small backup examples thoroughly explain rsync --link-dest, --recursive, and --exlcude-from options.? http://sites.google.com/site/rsync2u/home/rsync-tutorial rsync2u is a job-driven script that uses rsync to backup files to a local USB device or harddrive.? http://sites.google.com/site/rsync2u/home Someone please post the above lines on the rsync

Hi rsync gurus! [Please Cc: me, as I am NOT subscribed to the list!] First the data points: debian/woody, local server=i386 arch, remote is alpha arch rsync version on both debian 2.5.5-0.2 While upgrading our server to a raid we were hit by a bug which I really consider very strange: The option -n/--dry-run does NOT change files, but DELETE files when called with --delete. Test case I had: $

I am puzzled as to why I can't get the option --link-dest to work properly. When I use this option when both source and destinations are on a local filesystem the hard-linking of the target against the link-dest directory does work, but when the source is a remote directory (via ssh or rsync server) hard links are not created. I suspect it has something to do with setting the correct

I was told that my earlier submission of this report contained a user-hostile attachment (courtesy of Outlook), so here it is again, with the log included below. The problem: Files that exist only on the remote system are deleted silently (i.e. not logged), rather than noisily as implied by the recommendation of --dry-run in the rsync man page definition of --delete to see what would be

When I'm running "rsync --compare-dest" on a local Linux volume (ext4) it works as expected (duplicate files not created) however when same commands with same options are run on NTFS USB drive (in my scenario below mounted to /share/external/sdt5) all the files are copied regardless if they have been updated or not. I have spent many hours trying to figure out what could be wrong and

Hello everyone. I have a timing slips errors and I can't understand what source of the problem is. My installation has 2 digium cards: TE420 and TE220 cards in one server. There are 3 spans (E1) to PSTN and 3 spans to internal PBS stations - normal installation for transit communication. Span configuration is: span=1,1,0,ccs,hdb3 #TE420 - first port.

Hi, I am trying to use rsync for incremental backup and I am facing some issues. I would like to ask your help to understand what is going on and have the proper command line. 1) my goal is I the following folders: ./dest: file3.txt ./orig: file1.txt   file10.txt  file2.txt   file20.txt And I would like to have as incremental backup ./dest: backup      file1.txt     file2.txt  file3.txt

I'm having an issue with the --suffix and -b flags - I've tried the following commands: rsync -avbr --backup-dir=/rsyncbackup rsynctest user@server.com::module rsync -avbr --backup-dir=/rsyncbackup --suffix="" rsynctest user@server.com::module and either way, I wind up with a tilde as a suffix on all the files moved into the backup directory at time of synchronization.

I have found a nasty bug when a file, which is in some of many sources, shall be copied to a target. The linux-Version works well but rsync 2.5.{2|5|6} under solaris9 (gcc 2.95.3) and darwin (gcc 3.1) do not. The decision which file (out of which src) shall be copied depends on the number of src dirs given on the command line. This bug bytes us very hard, because we decided to rely on rsync
