similar to: grsync for centos 7

Hi, I experience a slow backup problem with Time Machine on Mac. The info below does not help to reduce the backup time to a reasonable period. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204412 So I'd like to use grsync/rsync to incrementally back my disk. I know that Time Machine somehow can create hard links to manage incremental links. Since grsync/rsync is primarily targeted at Linux, is it a

I can't find any evidence it was ever in RHEL or CentOS. It looks like it's in the Nux Desktop repo and the Repoforge repo for EL5 and 6 and Nux for EL7. > 6) While I do really appreciate CLI

Thanks for the replies. 1) I always use the -n (--dry-run) option. Couldn't imaging not doing so! 2) I hate having to look up stuff like the trailing slashes each time. And trying to decide what to (--exclude), to -H or not to -H, etc. 3) I hate having to re-do #2 every time I want to do a small ad-hoc backup or synchronization, let alone a full filesystem backup. 4) I could do shut

Hello. I think it is just too easy to make mistakes with rsync. And getting it "almost correct" can really get you hurt. So I would like to learn with Grsync. But, Grsync does not seem to be in the centos 7 or EPEL 7 repositories (although it may have been around as late as centos 6). Is it now in any "reputable" repositories? If not, has anyone installed it from source

The only things I find confusing are what the trailing / means on a directory name

I had to make do with DOS 3.0 on an 8088 w/ 2 floppy drives... and let me tell you how much fun it was to compile (I kid you not)

Hi all, I am a non-technical guy (in some ways) & I did read the man pages but became no wiser. My main aim is to do backups between my hdd & an external 80 GB EIDE hdd. The filesystem is ext3 both on the hdd as well as have made ext3 partitions to the hdd. I have 2 use-cases really :- 1. take an image of my /home/shirish the first time (without the .something files) all the

Hello everyone, First post here :-D I been looking for answers for the past 2 days but I can't find anything that will solve my problem. Hopefully this forum will be the end of my search! I've had an Rsync script that I wrote myself working for the past several months. Not too long ago I had to reformat and Installed a fresh copy of Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid) (Used ext3 this time around..I

Hello, I am trying to build a statically linked R linux binary that can be shipped around to different unknown linux environments without having to rely on its local shared libraries. However, it seems like the configure flag --enable-static doesn't produce the desired effect. How may I do this? Thank you for your help, Michael

Hi rsync-ers I woulder if there is a good gui for rsync that works in windows? and why dosen't rsync compile under MinGW? Best Regards P?r Moberg, Sweden

rsync in daemon mode is very powerful, yet it comes with one big disadvantage: data is sent in plain. The workarounds are not really satisfying: - use VPN - one needs to set up an extra service, not always possible - use stunnel - as above - use SSH - is not as powerful as in daemon mode (i.e. read only access, chroot, easy way of adding/modifying users and modules etc.) Why was encrypted
