similar to: --progress (without file names)

As Ben mentioned, ZFS snapshots is one possible approach. Another approach is to have a faster storage system. I have seen considerable speed improvements with rsync on similar data sets by say upgrading the storage sub system. -------------------------------------------------------------------- This email is protected by LBackup, an open source backup solution http://www.lbackup.org

I have a volume at 192.168.0.2 on my local network. I'd like to rsync the entire volume to a backup volume, skip all files already present on the backup volume (same name and the same or earlier timestamp), and include all flags, dates, etc. as applicable to Mac OS X 10.6.x. Can someone tell me the proper command to do this.

Just chiming in slightly off topic. As a first step if you are going to be backing up files to some media with a computer it would be a really good idea to ensure, that the hardware being used is not faulty. I am not saying that your hardware is faulty. However, it would be worth checking this somehow. Check the drive media for bad blocks, check that all the cables are working well. Ensure the

Hi! As discussed in the thread "Question regarding patch for ProxyCommand setting". The patch is rather straight forward; maybe it would be a good idea to improve it in a way that it uses a list of string options that may have a "none" value to reset it to NULL.

Hi All, I was hoping someone would know the answer to this question I had... I know the rsync daemon has the "Max connections" module, which works great. However, I was wondering if there was a good way for me to: 1: Query rsync to get the number of live connections it thinks it has? 2: Or better yet, how does rsync itself check for the number of connections? I'm trying to

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.

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

Is there a way to have rsync not treat files that have gone missing (e.g. Maildir messages that have been removed) as errors while indicating I/O errors and such?

Hello, Mac OS X 10.9 has the bad habit of considering a rename on an UDF FS as a file change; that is: > touch -t 201010101010 test > ls -l test -rw-r--r-- 1 gui staff 0 10 oct 2010 test > mv test fail > ls -l fail -rw-r--r-- 1 gui staff 0 29 nov 00:19 fail rsync.c (3.1.2), in archive mode, calls set_file_attrs *before* renaming .file.XXXXXX to file. So, in the

Yes, I've read the FAQ, just hoping for a boon... I'm in the process of relocating a large amount of data from one nfs server to another (Network Appliance filers). The process I've been using is to nfs mount both source and destination to a server (solaris8) and simply use rsync -a /source/ /dest . It works great except for the few that have > 10 million files. On these I get

hello, does somebody know how to circumvent that "extra file access restriction feature" introduced in osx some time ago ? i already tried adding rsync binary to programms with "full disk access" privilege ( system-prefs -> security & privacy -> privacy -> full disk access)? , since running as root is not sufficient - but it does not work. i want to make sure

Hi, I have a small server at home. I like to put it 'online' and secure it as good as possible. The counterside of putting your personal backups on a server is that it might get hacked... and you don't want have to have your personal docs online... Do you think encryption is needed? How to use encryption with rsync? Thanks in advance, ~D
