similar to: copying differences to different directory

I noticed that rsync is happy to hard-link a device node from a --link-dest dir even if its mtime differs from that of the source device node and --times is given. Is this behavior expected? It seems to break the rule that a difference in preserved attributes disqualifies a hard link. To see the behavior, run the following as root: mkdir src dest basis mknod src/null c 1 3 sleep 1 mknod

Hello and thanks to all who so generously assist on this great list. test command: rsync -avm --del --prune-empty-dirs --compare-dest=/Users/generic/Desktop/B /Users/generic/Desktop/A/ /Users/generic/Desktop/C produces a large number of directories and nested directories on the destination that are empty. i've tried tweaking so many different combinations of options i'm beginning to

Hello List, How would i rsync all files which are older than X-Days? I am missing some kind of -mtime option. Since this is quite common for backups i am wondering how you are doing this kind of stuff. Thanks, Mario

Greetings. If I do this: rsync --hard-links one.server.com::"module/somedir/images/redhat/3.0WS/en/os/i386 module/someotherdir/1.0/images/redhat/3.0WS/en/os/i386" /export/distros I get: /export/distros/i386/... and a conflict between the two sources. I want for destination: /export/distros/images/redhat/3.0WS/en/os/i386 /export/distros/1.0/images/redhat/3.0WS/en/os/i386 In other

Hi list, I have been reading MAN pages and listarchives, but not found the answer to my question though I am sure it must be possible to acheive my wish. I wish to use rsync to create a backup BUT only keep the files for a limited period of time, EG two weeks. I have not yet been able to figure out how to do this inside rsync (while the backup is being performed) and my understanding of the

Hello again, as stated earlier there is a problem with mtime setting on directories during healing in replication setup. Today I tested 2.0.5 and found out that the handling is more or less generally buggy for directory mtimes. Simply try this: untar some kernel archive on your local disk and look at the mtime of the created top directory. now untar the same archive on an exported gluster fs and

Hello, I just observed something strange: rsync -av --exclude /USER/NoBackup --exclude '*.NTX' --compare-dest=/backup/novell/vollbackup /mnt/novellserver/SYS/ /backup/novell/ziel rsync -av --exclude /USER/NoBackup --exclude '*.NTX' --compare-dest=/backup/novell/vollbackup/PUBLIC /mnt/novellserver/SYS/PUBLIC/ /backup/novell/ziel For debugging purposes (saving time) I used

Hello, I would like to have a full repository, say, holding files full/a.txt (version 1) full/b.txt (version 1) full/c.txt (version 1) and a repository of updates, for example new/b.txt (version 2 - newer) Then, I would like to call rsync [flags] new/ full/ destination to get destination/a.txt (v.1) destination/b.txt (v.2) destination/c.txt (v.1) This simple case works

Hello, I am currently getting a strange error when I call installed.packages(): Error in if (file.exists(dest) && file.mtime(dest) > file.mtime(lib) && : missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed Calls: installed.packages I am working with R 3.4.0 on Windows. I didn't get this error with R 3.3.3. Apparently, file.mtime() is returning NA well applied to a directory, and

Hi, I tried executing the following statement multiple times on R 3.4 and it worked only the first time. In older versions of R it seems to have worked. Am I doing anything wrong?

If you use mtime, then it will be deleted "ndays" after the last modification date on the file -- NOT the time the file was moved into the recycle bin. If you use ctime - that

Hi, I try to rsync files only X days old. This is my setup. The backup server needs to store all servers' backup and only has space for 7 days backup. But each individual server has backup for 21 days. On the backup server, i remove files older than 7 days. When backup server pulls files, I want rsync only pull files with mtime last 7 days. Searching through the archive, someone suggested

Overview -------- I am trying to use --ignore-times with --link-dest and find that all files are duplicated inappropriately (IMHO). I think it is because --link-dest creates a hard link, which results in the link count, and so Change Time, changing. This requires rsync to create a new inode and duplicate the data just to preserve the ctime. If --ignore-times is not specified, only mtime and the
