similar to: Rsync to samba share very slow

Hey folks, I did some googling on this but did not come up with much. I'm using rsnapshot which uses rsync, and I notice some pretty long pauses in the xfers as you can see on this graph from "munin". THe machine in question right at the moment is doing nothing but rsyncing ( rsnapshoting ) some 12T of NAS storage to local disk, so there is nothing else going on at all.

I am using rsync/rsnapshot on Windows XP (via cygwin) to backup to a mapped share (/u) on a Linux server. I’m hoping to get this to work so that I don’t have to open an XP share to the network for Linux “pull” backups. My current setup doesn’t seem to give me incremental backups. See the “du” output… $ /usr/bin/du -csh /cygdrive/u/docs_bkup/daily.0/ /cygdrive/u/docs_bkup/daily.1/

Hello all, Since the rsync on Panther many things changed in my professional life. This project is abandoned although it should work. But this you already know. What's new? On my new job I have several servers to administrate. Servers that aren't backed up (sic). So, there's why I'm back to rsync. The backup plan I would like: 1) Client side: PCs running rsync (or

Hello guys, sorry for cross-posting, but imho it could be an error in my rsnapshot setup as well as in my rsync setup. If there is a solution on one of these mailing-lists i will post it to the other one as well. ok? here is my question: when running rsnapshot, my exclude filter is being ignored, but i don't see why. grep -v "#" /etc/rsnapshot-debx40.conf | grep . gives

Hello, yesterday i posted this issue on snapshot-discuss at listsourceforge.net (subject: wondering why backup wont start), but after reading the FAQ and searching the bugzilla DB i thought it could help to post here as well. i have a problem. But let me first describe my setup. i followed this howto: http://dev.kprod.net/?q=linux-backup-rsnapshot-no-root Now there is a backup server rpi-home

Has anyone else had problems using the --link-dest flag? I do what it says in the example rsync -a --delete --link-dest=/home/chamberl/oldbk/ /home/chamberl/source/ /home/chamberl/backup/ I make sure that /home/chamberl/source has some files exactly the same as in /home/chamberl/oldbk/ but evertything gets copiued, and no hard links are done (though they should be). Anyone know the problem?

Hi, New to this list, but long-time (appreciative) user of rsync. Grateful for any help with my problem here... In particular, I've been having long-standing issues (just now getting around to trying to resolve them) when I use rsync with '--copy-unsafe-links' alongside the '--delete' parameter. If I use either of these two parameters in isolation (along with other shared

Hi I got rsnapshot working, but I am still unclear about a few things. Say I have intervals daily 7 weekly 4 monthly 12 so running "rsnapshot daily" for seven days will create files daily.0, daily.1, daily.2, daily3, daily.4, daily.5, daily.6 If at the end of the week I do "rsnapshot weekly", then daily.6 gets moved to weekly.0 The next time daily runs, 5 will move to 6,

Hello all, I'm new to the list, but have done quite a bit of researching before regarding the support of Mac OS X specific features (resource forks, extended attributes, ACLs, file creation & modification date). By reading the archives, I get the impression that the current version of rsync 3.0.0pre8 is quite far in this respect. At least it sounds so, and I thank the developers

I am using rsnapshot <http://www.rsnapshot.org/> to make snapshots of my filesystem. rsnapshot uses rsync to do all the heavy lifting. I was recently browsing my snapshots and discovered that none of the excluded files or files deleted in the source are getting deleted from the snapshot. rsnapshot calls rsync like this: /usr/bin/rsync -a --delete --numeric-ids --relative --delete-excluded

Hi, I'm having some problems with a script in /etc/cron.daily. It's quite simple: ------ #!/bin/sh touch /mnt/Backup/foo rsnapshot daily ----- So the touch gets executed, but the rsnapshot not. If I run manually > run-parts /etc/cron.daily/ everything's fine. Also when I run rsnapshot from roots crontab. So I have no idea what's the issue here. Any ideas / recommendations

Hi, I am experiencing segfaults when transferring files via rsync though sudo. Setup: - Backupserver initiates the rsync command with --delete -vvv --no-inc-recursive --numeric-ids --delete-excluded --relative --rsync-path=/home/backupuser/rsync-wrapper.sh - rsync-wrapper.sh (on the client) contains /usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/rsync "$@"; - user "backupuser" has sudo access to the

Slightly OT maybe: at a customer we run the main data share on the samba file server (access defined via Windows ACLs) ... so far no surprise ;-) then we let a 2nd server pull snapshots via rsnapshot (you know: https://rsnapshot.org/) and provide the resulting tree of snapshots via samba again: read-only, only for some admin users So far OK, runs for years (although it gets slower, other topic)

Hi, I'm a happy camper @ rsync (and rsnapshot) since years. Thanks for this major piece of software. In an attempt to reorganize my rsnapshot backups, I stumbled across an issue, that I'm trying to seeking a more sophisticated solution here. Given, I have a deeply branched tree, where I would like to include a specific directory deep under, while excluding anything else on that path,

I want to make a full disk image backup of my disk with rsnapshot/rsync that I can restore on a new disk. Part of my /etc/rsnapshot.conf looks like follows: exclude /proc exclude lost+found exclude /media exclude /sys exclude /dev exclude /tmp exclude /dev backup / localhost/ My questions are ... can I use the backup and copy everything from localhost/hourly.0 ---> / of

On Mac OS X (mini Mac), using rsync with --delete option to backup a linux Box, all the file and directories with accented characters are destroyed: deleting Documents/Ve??lo/ deleting Documents/Ckr/marche??s_publics/ deleting Documents/Ckr/Pre??sentations/Linux_logiciels_libres(SICTIAM).sxi deleting Documents/Ckr/Pre??sentations/Linux_logiciels_libres(SICTIAM).ppt deleting

Hello, I'm trying to do something that did not sound difficult, but no option I've tried seems to be working. I apologize in advance if I'm missing something obvious. I need to sync only directories from one tree to a similar, but older tree *without* updating the modtimes of directories that already exist in the destination. Or phrased the other way, I want to entirely skip

I have been using rsnapshot on OS X for a bit now to backup my debian home server to my external HD but have now started getting this error. Shiny:rsync-3.0.6 kurt$ sudo rsnapshot sync /usr/bin/rsync -a --delete --numeric-ids --relative --delete-excluded \ --exclude=mtab --exclude=core --rsh="/usr/bin/ssh -i \ /Users/kurt/.ssh/id_rsa" root at home.thisisnotajoke.com:/home \

Yohoo! I'm using rsnapshot-1.3.0-1.el5.rf (from DAG) and rsync-2.6.9-1.el5.rf (from CentOS5) together. Rsnapshot now starts every task with the "--relative" switch. Without this switch it will backup all subsequent folders (like /proc and so on) which isn't desired. So I can't omit the "--relative". But there was a bug for rsync prior to 2.6.9 that it won't
