I'm trying to back-up a set of windows machines onto a single Linux machine, so that I can easily make a tape from there. The Linux Machine (RedHat 7.3, running samba 2.2.6), is set to use mount.smbfs to log in to each machine's Administrative share, and copy several files from the hard drive. One machine is giving me a great deal of difficulty, however. Our last remaining window's

I had originally written about this problem last month (http://lists.samba.org/pipermail/samba/2002-November/085418.html) Since then, our company has added another Windows Fileserver which I'm trying to back up, and they are both having the problem. Because it happens on both servers, this leads me to believe it really is a problem with my Samba server. I've upgraded to 2.2.7a, as the

Hi, I have installed samba 2.2.7 and cannot get swat to work. I have entry in /etc/services file and alo in /etc/xinetd.d/swat.

Hello, I'm new to this and am trying to modify the "backup to a central backup server with 7 day incremental" script from http://samba.anu.edu.au/rsync/examples.html to suit my situation. I have ended up with the script attached below and when running it from command line I get these errors: rsync error: syntax or usage error (code 1) at main.c(726) and a plethora of this >

I've read a few tutorials about how to use rsync via ssh using the command= functionality to restrict where the user can sync to. I've got this on the on the destination side in it's ~/.ssh/authorized_keys... command="rsync --server -vvnlogDtpre.iLsf --timeout=999 . bkp",no-port-forwarding,no-X11-forwarding,no-agent-forwarding ssh-rsa AAetc I've tried variations of the

Alternatively, if you are in a restricted environment where you are only allowed to use rsync you can rsync --delete an empty directory to it.

Hi, I am runing rsync --backup --backup-dir=$BACKUPDIR where the BACKUPDIR=$(date +%d) to recycle the $BACKUPDIR in a month. But rsync does not clean the $BACKUPDIR before writing to it in cycling. I guess you have to clean it manually before the rsync can write to it. As my $BACKUPDIR is in remote machine, do you have to run ssh to delete it first before calling rsync in a script? Or if there

Hi Kevin, Thank you very much for the response. Actually, I don't think I need to clean the backup dir defined in --backup-dir=<backup dir>, when the contents has already been deleted in the destination (no exist), it will delete from the backup dir as well in next cycle, correct?

Dear all, I'm running a fileserver on Suse10. The purpose of this fileserver is to store only mailbackups. I also have backupserver running Suse10 with Dar&Sarab installed. backups will be done on HDD. This runs perfect. because I need to mount the samba share of the fileserver to the backupserver i did: mount -t smbfs -o username=root,password=xxx,debug=4 //ipaddress/mailbackup

With --backup in order to end up with 2 files it has to write out a whole new file. Sure, it only sent the differences (normally that means over the network but there is no network here) but the writing end was told to duplicate the file being updated before updating it.

Hi All, For a backup purpose I'm trying to transfer only the changed blocks of large files. Thus I've run "rsync" with the appropriate options: RSYNC_BKPDIR=`mktemp -d` rsync \ --archive \ --no-whole-file \ --inplace \ --backup \ --backup-dir="$RSYNC_BKPDIR" \ --verbose \ --stats \ /var/backups/mysql-dbs/. \ /mnt/bkp/var/backups/mysql-dbs/.

We've been using rsync since forever to back up all our servers and it's worked without a problem. But in a recent security review, we noted that our specific rsync backup host is using root keys to access the server, meaning that if the keys on the backup server were leaked/compromised in any fashion, that would provide r00t access to the servers being backed up. Since this

Greetings! I've ran into a couple difficulties for a particular rsync use-case I'm involved in implementing - hoping someone here might be able to clue me in! I've got an existing linux box, with a particular directory that needs to be mirrored onto another server, into a different base path on that server - i.e.: server1:/var/lib/bar/ to server2:/backupdir/var/lib/bar/ Now,

Hello, In a small environment I have to backup two servers, an Ubuntu 9.10 and a Windows Server 2008 machine. My Backuphost is a Ubuntu 9.10 machine as well. I installed rsync on both Ubuntu hosts from repository (3.0.6) and cwrsync from http://www.itefix.no/i2/node/10650 (3.0.7). Then I wrote some Bash-Scripts which executes rsync every week like that: BACKUPDIR=/var/backup rsync -v -a
