Hello guys, sorry for cross-posting, but imho it could be an error in my rsnapshot setup as well as in my rsync setup. If there is a solution on one of these mailing-lists i will post it to the other one as well. ok? here is my question: when running rsnapshot, my exclude filter is being ignored, but i don't see why. grep -v "#" /etc/rsnapshot-debx40.conf | grep . gives

Hello, yesterday i posted this issue on snapshot-discuss at listsourceforge.net (subject: wondering why backup wont start), but after reading the FAQ and searching the bugzilla DB i thought it could help to post here as well. i have a problem. But let me first describe my setup. i followed this howto: http://dev.kprod.net/?q=linux-backup-rsnapshot-no-root Now there is a backup server rpi-home

Hi, I'm a happy camper @ rsync (and rsnapshot) since years. Thanks for this major piece of software. In an attempt to reorganize my rsnapshot backups, I stumbled across an issue, that I'm trying to seeking a more sophisticated solution here. Given, I have a deeply branched tree, where I would like to include a specific directory deep under, while excluding anything else on that path,

I have been using rsnapshot on OS X for a bit now to backup my debian home server to my external HD but have now started getting this error. Shiny:rsync-3.0.6 kurt$ sudo rsnapshot sync /usr/bin/rsync -a --delete --numeric-ids --relative --delete-excluded \ --exclude=mtab --exclude=core --rsh="/usr/bin/ssh -i \ /Users/kurt/.ssh/id_rsa" root at home.thisisnotajoke.com:/home \

Hi I got rsnapshot working, but I am still unclear about a few things. Say I have intervals daily 7 weekly 4 monthly 12 so running "rsnapshot daily" for seven days will create files daily.0, daily.1, daily.2, daily3, daily.4, daily.5, daily.6 If at the end of the week I do "rsnapshot weekly", then daily.6 gets moved to weekly.0 The next time daily runs, 5 will move to 6,

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

This is the best collection of minds I can think of on this topic, that's why it is on this list. I think it is too subjective for stackoverflow. So here is the problem: The community center has multiple computers for the children (and adult students) to use. These computer are always donated and the hardware is all different. Currently the systems are running Windows (but this may change).

Hi, New to this list, but long-time (appreciative) user of rsync. Grateful for any help with my problem here... In particular, I've been having long-standing issues (just now getting around to trying to resolve them) when I use rsync with '--copy-unsafe-links' alongside the '--delete' parameter. If I use either of these two parameters in isolation (along with other shared

Hi every body I am a new centos user. I installed centos 6 on my laptop and add some software to it. How can I create a full image (boot able) back up of it. ( some thing like windows full image backup). please help! -- With The Best H.Lanjanian

Hi, I am currently using isolinux (syslinux-6.03) in a clonezilla setup. It boots fine, however I want to have a setup where the default boot selection alternates every boot. * First boot : Default is menu item 0 * Second boot : Default is menu item 1 * Third boot : Default is menu item 0 ... The idea is that when it is booted into clonezilla the clonezilla script checks if the system needs to

I am using rsnapshot <http://www.rsnapshot.org/> to make snapshots of my filesystem. rsnapshot uses rsync to do all the heavy lifting. I was recently browsing my snapshots and discovered that none of the excluded files or files deleted in the source are getting deleted from the snapshot. rsnapshot calls rsync like this: /usr/bin/rsync -a --delete --numeric-ids --relative --delete-excluded

Hey folks, I did some googling on this but did not come up with much. I'm using rsnapshot which uses rsync, and I notice some pretty long pauses in the xfers as you can see on this graph from "munin". THe machine in question right at the moment is doing nothing but rsyncing ( rsnapshoting ) some 12T of NAS storage to local disk, so there is nothing else going on at all.

Slightly OT maybe: at a customer we run the main data share on the samba file server (access defined via Windows ACLs) ... so far no surprise ;-) then we let a 2nd server pull snapshots via rsnapshot (you know: https://rsnapshot.org/) and provide the resulting tree of snapshots via samba again: read-only, only for some admin users So far OK, runs for years (although it gets slower, other topic)

Hi All; I'm awaiting a new linux laptop that will be my primary work machine. I want to implement a strategy that allows me as easily as possible to revert back to a former state. My primary concern is a scenario where I apply system updates and it breaks something that for me is critical. I wonder if a simple rsync script would work. If so, here's what I'm thinking: 1)

I have successfully created bootable USB flash drives containing the following bootable products: 1) Clonezilla (recent version) 2) Ultimate Boot CD (recent version) 3) OpenELEC (recent version) All of these apparently use SYSLINUX as part of the boot process. All three boot up just fine and with no problems at all on virtually all of the various systems that I have here at my

Brandysnap is an rsync-based script with a difference. Unlike dirvish, it does not assign importance to snapshots when they are created. All snapshots are created equal, and then they are managed so that the required number of old snapshots is maintained. Unlike rsnapshot, brandysnap does not get its snapshots out of sync if runs are missed, and it is very easy to configure. The link between

Hello, I'm trying to do something that did not sound difficult, but no option I've tried seems to be working. I apologize in advance if I'm missing something obvious. I need to sync only directories from one tree to a similar, but older tree *without* updating the modtimes of directories that already exist in the destination. Or phrased the other way, I want to entirely skip
