Running Ubuntu 10.04.1 and rsync 3.0.7-1. Used rsync successfully for over a year for backups. Recently there was a kernel upgrade to 2.6.32-25. Don't know if that has any bearing. When I tried to run a backup today rsync failed with the error message: sending incremental file list rsync: writefd_unbuffered failed to write 4 bytes to socket [sender]: Broken pipe (32) rsync: mkdir

Running Debian 8.2, xfce 4.10, rsync 3.1.1-3. I just edited my backup script as follows: #The first line deletes extraneous files. The second does not and is used for normal backups. # rsync -vaHz --delete --exclude '/proc' --exclude '*.iso' --exclude '/sys' --exclude '/home/holtzm/Documents/*.iso' --exclude '/media' /.

Running debian wheezy w/ rsync 3.0.9-4. The command in question is rsync -vahHz --delete --exclude '/proc' --exclude '*.iso' --exclude '/home/holtzm/mail/backup' --exclude '/sys ' --exclude '/tmp'--exclude '/media' /. /media/cf0a98ed-3c11-4107-b61e-f5139d024396/Wheezy-laptop notice the --exclude '/media' notation. This setup has been

I was just wondering what recommendations you have on migrating a CentOS 5 install between servers? I've done similar in the past by setting up a minimal install in the new server, use tar to copy over the old install and reboot. I was thinking of rsync this time. Is that an acceptable thing to do or have I missed something important? thanks -------------- next part -------------- An

Hi, I've recently switched to CentOS 5.0 from RedHat 9.0 and found a new directory /proc which contains "virtual" files according to the docs. When I try to run my normal backup which uses cpio to create archives, it complains about not being able to access many files in the /proc directory. This is also true of some files in /sys/devices. Searching for something that

When I signed up for the rsync mailing list, I was not expecting to get all the samba bugs as well. Is it possible to be on just the rsync mailing list, without being on the bug report list as well?

I sent a message with the above subject:"Rsync chokes on this file", which as a 7Mb file attached to it and got a message that the post was held in moderation because the attached file is too large. What is the procedure for sending a file to the developers for checking? Can I upload the file somewhere and create a link to it in my email, or submit it to some email account that permits

Hi, After some months of configuring and testing a small server, think that would be nice to make a full server restore-point image in order to recover it if something goes wrong in the future, just restoring the image back and not making the full install and configure process all over again. The server uses Logical Volumes. I was thinking on using the CentOS LiveCD and then use dd command to

Hello All, I guess it is very common for administrative purpose, to dump and restore a CentOS 7 system. I usually use dump/restore commands. However, I?m having trouble to handle installing bootloader and creating initramfs for C7 system. Does anyone know a good document source that details those procedure? Thank you, Xinhuan Zheng

Does anybody here have any idea how to make an exact copy of a drive that has LVM partitions? I'm having trouble using dd to do this for an EL5 server. We're trying to diagnose a software problem of some kind and would like an exact, perfect copy of the software running so that we can see exactly what the problem is without disturbing our production copy.

Hello, I have been using mondorescue to backup to dvd for several months now without any problems. Since upgrading to Centos 4.4, I now receive a few errors. The errors are for files in /var/named/chroot/proc. I guess these files change so when I do a differntial backup they aren't there and result in errors. (Never got any errors before and I think these files were there in 4.3) If I

Many thanks for the reply/solution. I've looked at the command 10-12 times and missed the omission of the space. I had been dinking around with it and

I'm trying to set up a full server backup using rsync 3.0.6. I'm using --fake-super, and SSH keys to access a remote server as a normal user. My problem is that there is a local directory that has permissions 0111 ("d--x--x--x"), and rsync throws an error trying to set the xattr: rsync: failed to read xattr user.rsync.%stat for "/roach/backup/root/tcb/lib":

Hi, currently I'm trying to extend my existing backup concept but I have issues due to symlinks. rsync has problems with symlinks. First some background information: I regularly back up my / and /home from my desktop PC and my netbook to my Synology DiskStation (500GB) using rsync 3.0.6 with this script: http://pastebin.com/m43d4e353 . This works without any error messages. On the DS
