similar to: rsync'ing an rdiff-backup repository

Hi all. (I am sending this querry here because it is somehow relating to rsync. If i am wrong please pardon me.) I am doing following on these windowsXP and Vista. I am trying to get only incremental backup using "rdiff-backup" (that also uses rsync). I have installed gcc compiler and by following the steps given in http://katastrophos.net/andre/blog/2005/11/02/rdiff-backup-on-windows/

hi everyone a good basher around here? I try in a script: _rdiffBack="rdiff-backup -v5 --tempdir /tmp/ --no-eas --exclude-other-filesystems --exclude-symbolic-links" _rdffiExclude="--exclude '**/~*' --exclude '**.tmp' --exclude-regexp '(.glusterfs|.trashcan|temp)'" _execCom=${!2} _sourceDir=${1} _backupTo=${3} __backMeUp() { for _sourceDir in

Hi, i am new to rsync and i want to use rsync to emulate rdiff behaviour (because i can't install rdiff on the system). What i would like rsync to do is to generate a diff file (like with rsync --write-batch) but WITHOUT changing the destination file. This would allow me to store daily differential updates on the target (i think hardlinking would not help me much as the file is changing every

Is there any chance for rdiff ? I need to frequently synchronize big text file (60MB+) undertaking small changes and I am interested in differences between the subsequent versions [DNS RBL data in dnsbl format, 1E6+ lines of text, new version every 20m, on average 50 new entries (lines) in every synchronization] I would like to get (small) diff file as result of rsync session and apply it to

I know this has come up a bit in the past, but consider this situation: Two Samba4 DC's - and I want to "mirror" the data shares to the "backup" DC in case we lose the primary DC and it's file shares. [A cheap, dirty, poor-mans semi-CTDB. How did you ever guess that Red Green was helping me?!] The easiest way is probably rsync'ing the data. However, will that

After the recent yum update to rdiff-backup-1.2.2-1.el5.rf rdiff-backup no longer works. I don't "speak" python so not sure what's going on. Here's a portion of what I'm seeing... # rdiff-backup /etc/ /backup/localhost/etc Exception '[Errno 34] Numerical result out of range' raised of class 'exceptions.IOError': File

Thanks Donovan, I downloaded the librsync 0.9.6 from sf and it compiled just fine believe it or not in the new visual studio.net. There where warnings but no fatal errors and the exe seems to be running just fine. I've tested it just now on a 60 meg mdb file that I've been trying to backup.. it seems to work great!. I even saved the original so I could apply patches and then file compare

Greetings, I've been looking through archives, googling, and reading through man pages to no avail for some time now. I believe I need some combination of rsync -u (update) and rsync --del, and I'm not quite sure how to get it. I'm looking to build a rough implementation of a multi-client rdiff-backup system; in order to do this I'm using rsync before rdiff-backup. (We'll

I do not know if this has been reported already (I searched the headers of the recent messages to r-devel) It seems that 'example' in R 2.11.0 has a problem when the help file does not contain any example. This is what happens on R 2.11.0 on Windows XP. > library(tools) > example(Rdiff) Error in file(con, "r") : cannot open the connection In addition: Warning message: In

What's the best way to do long-term backups of the Maildir format these days? Traditionally we've just done a rdiff-backup or pointed Bacula at the Maildir. Both give us the option to reset a particular mailbox back to a previous day (any day within the last N months). Do we just need to snapshot the LVM volume that holds all the Maildir boxes, or is there some additional commands

Hi all, I'm trying a java implementation of rsync for "fun and profits" ;-) helped by librsync 0.9.7 and jarsync (a died java implementation) So i started to implement rdiff command and for now i have a working signature command. With first test, i had the same signature file of testsuite/mksum.input/COPYING.sig but when i try with another dummy file, for each checksum pair :

Hi all, i have a question. I''m going to setup a Xen server for a client. It''s going to serve about 25 clients. It''s a Athlon 64 3200+, which currently runs Debian i386-stable and xen 2.0.7 until Xen 3.0 is stable enough, and then i''m gonna replace it with Debian amd64-stable and Xen 3.0. The Xen dom''s consists of: Samba , file printer sharing most

I've recently updated wine version from 1.3.29 to 1.3.33 and I realised that PES2012 stopped working. It just opens a MessageBox with the text "The dynamic library rld.dll failed to initialize (E300)" and closes, without any error message on the terminal window. I started downgrading the version of wine to check when the error started, and I can confirm that the problem started on

Hello, I am unable to build a working OpenSSH 3.0.2p1 for IRIX 6.5 using either 1. gcc 2.95.3 + binutils 2.11.2 2. SGI MIPSpro cc, CC=cc, LD=/usr/bin/ld, CFLAGS='-mips3 -n32' Under both setups: - zlib seems to build fine - OpenSSL seems to build fine and tests out okay - OpenSSH builds, and then: openssh-3.0.2p1 % ./ssh -v myhost Trace/BPT/RangeErr/DivZero/Ovflow trap (core

our daily backup is done using the rdiff-backup tool, which in turn utilizes rsync/librsync to do the actual mirroring work. a few days ago we did a refactoring and renamed a bunch of directories. for backward compatibility we maintain the old names by symlinking it to the new names. so, for example, oldname1/ now becomes newname1/, and oldname1 is now a symlink to newname1/. we found that

Hello, I want mount directory of one server to another over internet. I was looking to NFS4, but there are no security mechanisms. I need encrypted connection using private key (something like SFTP). Or - if there is in CentOS repo (or EPEL) package, that can mount directory over internet using private key and make differential backup (like rdiff-backup). Thank you very much for links or other

I use rdiff-backup, but I hesitate to recommend a tool that has been unsupported for over 6 years and does have quite a few bugs. --

Hello, well, i have a weird problem: i mounted a share, shared on winxp, on my gentoo linux box via mount -t smbfs.. everything seems to work - seems. When i started to backup files with rdiff-backup, i noticed that it reported about new and deleted files, yet those were never deleted and are still present on the source share on the windows machine. I thought it might be a bug in

Hi We have an issue with one of our clients , they have a mail server with the /var/spool/imap partition as 150 GB . They need to take differential backup on to /backup partition ( a different HDD of total 250 GB space ) . We have tried dar , rsync, rdiff and impasync . But its is not sufficing the need as to take a lot of time and consumes a lot of I/O . Is there any back up solution that
