How do you handle snapshotting? or do you leave that to the block/fs virtualization layer? /kc On Fri, Apr 17, 2015 at 01:35:27PM +1200, Henri Shustak said: >> Our backup procudures have provision for looking back at previous directories, but there is not much to be gained with recycled directories.

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

I can use --link-dest multiple times for backups so that files affected by a backup-delete-backup-replace-backup scenario get linked. It works well. However, consider this scenario: backup-modify-backup-undo-backup. We have * backup 1 contains file 'a' * backup 2 contains file 'a' ( with modified content) * backup 3 contains file 'a' However, the file 'a' in

Hi All, I am writing a backup program for my computer. brief outline is as follows.

I'm using rsync 3.0.7 on Mac OS X 10.6, compiled according to Mike Bombich's instructions at http://www.bombich.com/rsync.html. Rsync repeatedly exits with a protocol data stream error when trying to copy some com.apple.FinderInfo extended attributes. While testing this issue, I found that rsync is not actually copying all extended attributes even when there is no error message. I'm

Hello list. I?m attempting to improve how Samba shares directories on our Gluster volume to Mac users by using the vfs_fruit module. This module does wonders for speeding listings and downloads of directories with large numbers of files in the Finder, but it kills uploads dead. Finder gives an error: The Finder can?t complete the operation because some data in ?[filename]? can?t be read or

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

Hi all, a user contacted me about a segfault when installing WGCNA package dowloaded from CRAN. I also see a segfault like that on certain installs of R. The package passes all CRAN checks, so presumably this has something to do with the R installation or environment. The R versions here are not the newest but I would guess that this is not an R version issue. I'm attaching two

> Our backup procudures have provision for looking back at previous directories, but there is not much to be gained with recycled directories. Without recycling, and after a failure, the latest available backup may not have much in it. Just wanted to point out that LBackup has a number of checks in place to detect failures during a backup. If this happens, then that backup is not labeled as a

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
