I'm rsync'ing an rdiff-backup repository to a different machine and I have a few questions I'm hoping you guys can help me out with. Should I use --archive? Or maybe -rlD instead? Can I restrict an SSH key to rsync? I can do it with rdiff-backup with command="rdiff-backup --server" but I can't figure out how to do it with rsync. The rdiff-backup repository I'm

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

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. --

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

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/

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.

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

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 :

I'm trying to use the rsync algorithm for incremental backups. After a quick look at rsync I saw the batch mode operations, and I thought that maybe I can modify them for incremental backups. What is needed is to add an option to save the checksums of all the files of the level 0 backup and a second option to use the level n checksum to calculate the delta batch files for the level n+1

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

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

I wonder why nobody has yet mentioned rdiff-backup. It combines browsable directories with multiple versions - the version data is stored in a separate rdiff-backup-data subdirectory (one per backup task). One downside is that rdiff-backup causes a lot of network traffic. For that reason I currently use rsync to copy over network, and then I use rdiff-backup locally to create a repository
