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 all, I have the following situation: Backup /mysource to /backupdir, /backupdir/full ---------an old full backup /backupdir/back2 -------previous increment backup(based on the full backup mentioned above) /backupdir/back1 ------most recent increment backup (based on the two backups mentioned above) How can I merge the two increment backups into one directory,say

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?

We've seen Samba crash and burn twice in the last 48 hours - it just started happening, and we have no idea what might be causing it. I'm hoping that someone will recognize this problem. Platform: we are running RedHat Enterprise Server, with Samba 3.0.7. We're using security=domain in an old-style NT4 domain environment. The symptom that we're seeing is that the number of

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, 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.

Hi, Trying to rotate the ups.log on a FreeBSD 7.0 system and its not being nice about it. I tried the "quick and dirty" way by doing : mv /var/log/ups.log ${DATEDDIRECTORY}/ups.log kill -1 `cat /var/db/nut/upslog.pid` I get : Sep 17 10:57:20 valhalla upslog[81972]: could not reopen logfile /var/log/ups.log: Permission denied So I stop upslog, remove the file, and start it

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

So I'm trying to write up a short script to do some backups over rsync. The goal is to have multiple client machines push the backups to the backup server nightly. The backup server will have a complete copy of the selected directories as well as revisions for the last 7 days. Here is the brief script I have. Btw if you're wondering about all the variables, I eventually want to set it to

Normally I would use the --link-dest option to do this but I can't since I'm rsyncing from a Mac to a Samba share on a Linux box and hard links don't work. What I want to do is create a 10 day rotating incremental backup. I used the first script example on the rsync examples page as a template. The only thing I changed was the destination to be a local directory and paths for

Is there any way to have rsync compare against a file with a *different* name? What I'd like to do is compare a vm - whatsit.img against a backup - whatsit.current, that's a symlink to whatsit.timestamp, and if different, *then* make the copy (which my script will then move to whatsit.newtimestamp, and change the symlink to point to the new one, then remove the old (or maybe save an older

Any help with this problem would be very much appreciated (even "it's not 7.3 or ext3 pointers, look somewhere else"). I've seen a similar post to ext3-users, but since that one received no reply and I'm not convinced it's a ext3 problem (it only appears on our 7.3 hosts) , I'm CCing to the valhalla list. We have the same problem on ALL our Redhat 7.3 machines

Hi there, I am running rsync-3.0.6-12.el6.x86_64 on a centos 6.6 box. Am trying to get files from a remote server (centos 6.5) to my local machine.

Hi all, I am very new to the rsync world (as well as the linux world) and have some really basic doubts. Please bear with me. I installed RH 9 on two systems in the same network and Rsync 2.5.5 was automatically installed with it. When I executed the command “rsync –avz test.txt /backupdir/ ”, it backed up the file test.txt into backupdir/test.txt. But when I tried the command “rsync

This may not be an rsync-specific question, but it is certainly stopping me from moving forward with rsync and I am sure it has a simple solution. I have written a simple shell script to rsync disks attached to a Mac OS X Server 10.4.11 Xserve box at our offices to a similar Mac OS X Server 10.4.11 setup at our colocation facility. The script runs rsync 3.0.3 on the machine at the colocation

I am using the following command and the excluded directory /usr/share/doc/ still appears with all it's contents in the backup directory when it's contents should be deleted.
