Well, I followed this link: http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/ and implemented it (with a bit of tweaking) on my home network. It is used to make snapshots of two Windows PC's over samba. On one of the machines (and not the other, from what I can tell) it deletes files from the target machine for no good reason (ie. they still exist on the source machine). Then, if I run

I read the following hint at: http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/#Incremental mv backup.0 backup.1 rsync -a --delete --link-dest=../backup.1 source_directory/ backup.0/ I simply want to maintain a dated backup of a server so that I could always go back to a certain date.

Hello All, I have been using rsync to backup several filesystems by using Mike Rubel's hard link method (http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/). The problem is, I am backing up a lot of ASCII .log, csv, and .txt files. These files are large and can range anywhere from 1GB to 30GB. I was wondering if on the target side (the backup side), if I can use some sort of compression. I

Hello list readers, I am doing rsync backups based on Mike Rubels recipe (http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/). I am creating lvm snapshots of partitions whose contents changes fast. In order to verify if evyerthing went ok, I do md5sum checks on all files and everytime some files are failing the test. Here is a list of them: ./amavis/db/__db.001: FAILED ./amavis/db/__db.002:

Hello, I'm trying to make incremental backups with rsync (I'm reading http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/ ) But I can't backup a file with old owner when the change on the file is only the owner (content is unchanged). rsync -av -e ssh --link-dest=$PWD/backup.1/ --numeric-ids --delete root@myhost.mydomaine.org:/var/www backup.0 If I look at the owner of

Hello, I get hanging rsync-processes while synchronisize windows to linux, starting on linux. The problem is not new, I found some mails in this list (archive) and on http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/#Bugs too. Example of the command: rsync -e 'ssh -i /backup/data/servers/identities/backup.W2000Server -p 22 -x -oForwardAgent=no -oClearAllForwardings=yes' --archive

I am just wondering what the criteria is for getting something added to the rsync resouces page, http://samba.anu.edu.au/rsync/resources.html. I have recently been working on a small little program, RSBackup, that I use to backup my computers to each other. Limiting the concern of a hardware failure causing me to lose any of my bits. Basically it takes the tutorial by Mike Rubel on using rsync

rsync is optimized to conserve network resources, sometimes at the expense of CPU resources. As long as CPU's are fast and networks are slow, rsync with compression does a great job. However, if I run rsync on a slow box (166MHz Ultra SPARC) over a fast network (100Mb/s), the compression kills the transfer rate. I turned compression off and I should be done rsyncing my files (60GB)

Hi All, I am presently doing a small POC with rsync for incremental backup and restore starategies. I have come up with certain question down the line, can anyone help me with the explanation. Used the config and ideas from: http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/ The commands executed on two machines in sequence Machine 1: root at Andruil:~# vim testfile root at Andruil:~# ls

Hello fellas, Firstly, I would like to apologize for the post being long, but I would appreciate if someone with a good knowledge of the subject gave his opinion. I am working on a backup solution for a series of old and very specialized host computers in aviation industry. I need to do monthly backups of one or two logical volumes (non-OS) on each of the computers and keep the last 12 monthly

Thanks for looking at this, and developing rsync. Really useful program that I rely on. Bit of a newbie but I couldn't find anything on this in these archives. Hopefully it's a really stupid question! I'm trying to backup using cp -al and then rsync -auR --delete backup idea basically as per http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/#Incremental. I have a separate

hello, I have a problem with an unsuitable font in the windows menus/dialogs with the above versions of wine (dont think this depends much on the versions, though. Have not tried other versions so far.) when using debian sarge. The font seems to look a bit ugly, usually destroys partly the menu/dialog structures, and, most important, has no German umlaut's (the diphtongs ae, oe, ue and

Hi, This report deals with p-values coming from chisq.test using the simulate.p=TRUE option. The issue is numerical accuracy and was brought up in previous bug reports 3486 and 3896. The bug was considered fixed but apparently was only mostly fixed. Just the typical problem of two values that are mathematically equal not ending up numerically equivalent. Consider this series of three 2x2

Having snapshot technology is great. Who else supports it? Thanks. Scott
