Here is part of my backup script: nice -n 15 rsync -avl --exclude=".*" \ --include-from="/home/bob/backup_includes" \ "$fromdir" "$todir" Here is the content of /home/bob/backup_includes /home/bob/.vimrc /home/bob/.gitconfig My problem is that neither the .vimrc nor .gitconfig are copied to the backup directory. I have read the man page about

Hello List, i have got a large File-List which looks like this: ...snip... 165/165950*.jpg 166/166072*.jpg ...snap.... Now i would like to transfer only those file from that list.

Hello, I'm author of Lsyncd - the live syncing deamon - http://code.google.com/p/lsyncd/ - a daemon that uses Linux` inotify to watch for filesystem changes - aggregates them for a few seconds and then periodically calls rsync to transfer the changes to target(s). Version 1 was simply aware of directories only, and it called rsync once with --delete -d for every directory in which anything

Hi there, I am trying to figure out how I can get my rsync client and server to coexist better.

Hi there all, I sincerely hope I'm posting this message in the correct space? I'm fairly new to rsync (And Linux for that matter) BUT after exploring rsync quite exstensively I can't seem to find the information I'm looking for.

Hy everybody, I'm using rsync to backup/synchronize folders to/from USB connected external hard drives. But I can't find an answer to a doubt. Does rsync use encription also for local tranfers? For "local transfer" I mean a transfer that doesn't go through a network like folders synchronization with external hard drives. I'm asking because the speed of local transfers

Hi, In our backup script we sometimes would like to override the common (i.e: static) excludes filter list. For example we exclude "- *.ext" for all backups but would like to include "+ *.ext" only for 'local' backups. Are such entries supposed to cancel each other? How can one override an earlier exclude in a filter list? Thanks,

Hello together, I have a question about using rsync with many files. We are using rsync via rsnapshot, but this is not elementary. It is used to backup many (above 100 servers) and works very well. Now there is one server with many (several millions) files. The files are not very big, so the complete backup is about 500 GB. Now my problem is, that the backup needs about 14 hours - the most time

We are using rsync to maintain a backup of some relatively large file systems, around 3 million files, but in an effort to save space have decided that some files should not be synchronised. In order to do this we have created a filter file containing the list of files to exclude. This filter file is created on what is ultimately the destination end of the synchronisation so we first copy

Hello I am setting up a central data repository for my team (several thousands of files, totaling about 4TB). There are multiple sources that I need to consolidate: a source may have a fraction of the total number of file, and there can be conflicts between different sources (that should be very occasional though). I want to detect those conflicts and manually merge them. Also, the
