similar to: problem with rsync-daemon via ssh

I'm trying to understand how to properly setup the /etc/rsyncd.conf file to run an rsync daemon with a secrets file specified in a module - the rsync.conf manpage does not spell it out clearly enough. Rsync server is rsync-2.5.6. If this is my /etc/rsyncd.conf file: ------------------------------------ log file = /var/log/rsync uid = root gid = root [test] uid = rsync1 gid =

I have a bit of an issue with rsync. I am using to keep directories in sync via another server for backup. Here is the server config [w1] path = /w1 comment = w1 web dir [w2] path = /w2 comment = w2 web dir Now on the client i run this command rsync -avv --delete --force domain.com::w1/ /w1/ It will NOT delete anything that is no on the server anymore.. for example on the server/client there

Hi, we do a 1:1 backup from our main raid to a backup raid every night with rsync -a --delete /mnt/raid1/ /mnt/raid2 rsync is 3.09, filesystems are ext3, OS is SLES 11 SP1. The rsync process takes several hours, even if no file has changed at all. Using -vv I see that rsync compares all files every time and that takes long for some hundreds of millions of small files. Can I tell rsync it

hi. I know this is a big topic on the list, please forgive me. rsync -avv --include "/film/jonah/**/sourceimages/*.tif" --exclude "*" /film /tmp i'm trying to copy all *.tif 's that are in a */sourceimages/ directory and that are only under /film/jonah. i would like to copy the directory tree and tif files to /tmp i was able to copy ever tif with: rsync -a

I must be seriously misunderstanding the man page coverage of --compre-dest. My take was that if a file in compare-dest=dir matches a file in SOURCE/ then it won't be transferred to DEST/. I tried this test. (d1 has single files and 2 subdir with files) cp -a d1 d1a mkdir d2 rsync -avv --compare-dest="./d1a" d1/ d2/ d1a is carbon copy of d1 but still every last file in

1) I'm a developer. 2) I use one special machine as a CVS server, generic storage ( an electronic attic ), as a web server of online documentation ( such as the python documentation, or SGI STL docs ). 3) I would like to add a hard drive to that system that mirrors the system drive. Someone suggested that I use rsync for this purpose. Called by a cron job that starts at 2:00am. I also want to

I have the following command: /usr/local/bin/rsync -avv 'Jeffrey?s iPhone (Root)'/ 'Macintosh HD'/Users/jeffrey/Downloads/iphone_backup Unfortunately, it's barking when it hits the "(". -bash: syntax error near unexpected token `(' How can I escape this? Thanks. -- View this message in context:

I have looked on the mailing lists and through rsync documentation but those still haven't solved my problem. I may be calling rsync incorrectly but the problem I have is that the exclude file seems to be ignored. My final goal is to replicate an entire host, excluding some files that contain specific IP, hostname configuration things. I'm trying to start small by mirroring a

I have a 29 Gig full backup on a remote server (lets call if fedor) that is called Kbup_1. I have a 1.3 Gig incremental backup on my local server. I have rsync 2.6.2 on both servers. Both are RedHat Linux 9.1 on i-686 hardware platforms. I issue the command "time rsync -avv --rsh=rsh --stats /test/Kibbutz/Kbup_1 fedor://test/Kibbutz". The synch takes ~5 minutes of real time and about

Hi all! I have a problem configuring rsync as daemon: This is my rsync.conf: log file = /var/log/rsync.log list = yes uid = nobody gid = nobody secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.secrets [section] comment = Great stuff from remote.acme.com path = /home/repos auth users = marco hosts allow = * hosts deny = * This is my /etc/rsyncd.secrets marco:marco This is the secrets file permission: [root@server

Is there an easy (and secure) way to search your database when you don''t know the number of parameters ahead of time? I can see doing it by concatenating together an sql query, but hopefully rails provides a more elegant way to do this with ActiveRecord without making a ginormous switch statement? For example, lets say my search form has 4 different input boxes. I only want the query

Hello, I'm totally new to this list, so I hope I don't break all the rules. :) I've looked through the archives (and google), and I really can't find the answer to my question. I'm trying out the 'detect-renamed'-patch, and I've encountered some odd behavior. I've applied the patch to both rsync-2.6.9 and rsync-3.0.0pre7, and it's the same behavior.

Hello Community, (sorry to be more busy, hence more running questions in parallel :) ) As mentioned in another post, I am testing mail_crypt plugin. I was wondering how to really secure the process sothat even the admin cannot have any access to the other users mail content. My current config is simple: - using per-folder keys (hence the per-user spaces are preserved) - put the

One of our rsync updates has been getting stuck at the download point. It gets the incremental list, deletes stuff but when it tries to download new/updated files it gets stuck and aborts after the timeout; it doesn't even create the temporary. Experimentation shows that it happens because the --itemize-changes option is repeated (on purpose); putting it only once works normally. Apparently

Hy, I have a network with WIFI communication and VHF/ HF channels. I have integrated asterisk in the network using SIP, ZAP and IAX2 channels for WIFI communications, but I don't Know How I could integrate the VHF/ HF channels. I have heard speaking about app_rpt project, but I don't Know very much about this. Could I integrate VHF/ HF channels with this application? if the answer is

Hope I haven't just blindly overlooked this in man rsync: 1) Some way to run rsync with any of the usual command lines but only applicable to files newer than some stipulated date.(on the source) 2) Some tricky way to redirect where the transferred files go. Example: rsync -avv source target real_destination Where all rsync computations are done comparing files in source to files in

When using rsync -avv to recursively copy a local directory on a remote server, and if the remote server has a symbolic link of the same name pointing to some other directory, then that remote symlink is clobbered in favor of the hard-wired path. I looked at the man page and other rsync documentation about copying links, but not of the options seemed to apply in my case. The closest was
