Hi there: I'm doing a backup of some of my machines via rsync, and I have the next problem: ------------------ [Tue Feb 22 02:51:13 CET 2011] /usr/bin/rsync -az --delete --numeric-ids --relative --delete-excluded --rsh=/usr/bin/ssh root at server1:/var/spool/exim /data/backups/server1 [Tue Feb 22 02:51:28 CET 2011] /usr/bin/rsync -az --delete --numeric-ids --relative --delete-excluded

I compiled rsync-2.5.5 on HPUX 11.11, using the +DA2.0W and +O3 options. invoking a simple rsync to transfer a file works (I ran a diff on the file, no changes) e.g: sdx1 214: ./rsync --rsh='/usr/bin/ssh -x' --rsync-path=/usr/local/src/rsync-2.5.5/rsync /scratch/chuck/tmp.test sdx2:/scratch/chuck However, adding the -a option yields an unexplained error: (In all of the following cases

I'm trying to use rsync (2.5.6 on both sides) to copy a home directory from one system (Solaris 2.6) to another (Solaris 9); the command is running on the Sol9 version and is fetching files; I'm using rsync with SSH, rather than in client/server mode. The command line I've used is: rsync --archive --verbose --rsh=ssh rsr@fold:/home/rsr /home I've attempted this both as the rsr

Hi, I am having trouble getting rsync (v2.5.0 with the latest version of cygwin) to work between my Win2K (SP2) and my Solaris 2.6 server. Both machines are running the same version of rsync. Each time I run rsync, I get the following error: --------------------- C:\rsync>rsync server1:/tmp/file . Terminal read: The parameter is incorrect. rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes read

We use rsync to copy files and directories from one server to the other. What options should I give to rsync so that it only copies the modified files? For example server1 may contain a dir which contains just one file that has been modified, how do I get rsync to copy just that one file over? I would like rsync to copy over the files which have been modified on the server1 to server2. This is

You're set, unless you declined ssh in your cygwin installation (without cygwin, you're not doing rsync from windoze). It's just like unix, in that case. (Bonus clue: Under related commands for ssh, you'll find ssh-keygen). If you don't actually need to secure your content (you're not naked on the internet, for instance), you can just let rsync use plain old rsh

All of the rsync pages say that "rsync -a --delete src dest" will do a full mirror but it just isn't so for us. I've only found one Google item similar: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/rsync-doesnt-seem-to-delete-599985/ We have around 9200 directories in 250G in /home on a Sun 4500 with Solaris 8 and rsync 2.6.5 - which we are trying to mirror on Sun

Hello Everyone, I am trying to exclude a directory (and all file and sub-directories under that directory) when using rsync. I have spent two days on google, but everything that I can find there involves excluding individual files, not an entire directory. I have tried the following commands, but in each case the remove_dir and all of its sub-directories and files area still sent to the remote

I'm seeing: bit length overflow code 4 bits 6->7 in the output of rsync 2.5.0 between two Red Hat Linux systems. One is RH 6.1 (kernel 2.2.19-6.2.1, glibc 2.1.3-22), the other is RH 7.2 (kernel 2.4.9-13, glibc 2.2.4-19). Both systems have rsync 2.5.0. On the RH 6.1 box, I run this command: rsync -v --stats -az -e rsh -H --exclude-from FILE /some/dir/. rh72:/some/dir/. Anyone

Greetings, I posted this to a couple online forums already am am already doubting anyone will be able to directly help me solve my problems.

I synchronized two backup servers within a local network which worked fluently, using rsync with the following parameters: rsync --archive \ --hard-links \ --delete \ --rsh="ssh -i $key_file" \ --copy-dest=/var/lib/backuppc \ --compress-level=9 \ --stats \ --human-readable \ --partial-dir=.rsync-partial \ --bwlimit=$bwlimit \ /var/lib/backuppc

Hi , Hope you are doing good. I am Madhavan from India . I was trying to implement the wonderful rsync concept in my project for file mirroring. I implemented the functunality but the only problem I am facing is in the * exclude* directory option. Though I am trying to exclude the directory by giving proper syntex for exclude but I find once the whole rsync is completed the directory still gets

Hello, all. A while back I posted a question about an issue, but did not get any replies. I understand this might not be something anybody has a definite answer for, and I understand I may not be offering the right information. If that is the case, please let me know what information I can provide, and please don't hesitate to offer any suggestions about what could be causing this problem.

Hi, I'm setting up our new mail system using dovecot as mailbox server. As our goal is to have many many small redundant (virtual) servers as components, for example a mailhub (just relaying mail) and a frontend smtp server (just accepting or denying mail in the first place and then forwarding it to the mailhub), etc. I want to run Dovecot on a different server than the main MTAs. The mailbox

Hi, I simplified the config in my first email, but I actually have 2x4 servers in replicate-distribute with each 4 bricks for 6 of them and 2 bricks for the remaining 2.
