What do you mean by saying the above things? Do you mean only the `--itemize-changes' is enough for my case? Or Do you want to see the output from my case of running on the

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, I have been using rsync to backup our primary data stores. It works fine. Here are the options I use for doing that: rsync --recursive --links --times --dirs --stats --delete \ --itemize-changes --quiet --exclude-from=exclude-filename \ /data-store1/ /data-store2/ Recently I have had the need to actually synchronize the files between

I seem to be running into a problem where I am trying to rsync from a source directory that lacks write permissions (i.e. r-xr-xr-x). Presumably this is because rsync creates the directory on the destination, then sets the permissions to match the source and then tries to sync the contents of the directory, which it cannot of course lacking write permission in the directory. Is there a way to

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

Hi all, Suppose I have remote rsync server, named as: rsync.example.net. And I want to finding some specific files/directories from it. To do this, I must let my local rsync client to do a traversing among all of its modules and the corresponding sub-directories. Say, if I want to find all of the `foo/file' on this rsync server, i.e., a file named file which is located under the foo

Hi all, When connect to a remote rsync server, ofter it will give some site- specified messages, say, the following one: ------------ _______________________________________________________________ | University of Science and Technology of China | | Open Source Mirror (mirrors.ustc.edu.cn) | |===============================================================| |

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. The rsync command: rsync -avz -F --files-from=/tmp/synclist-small.txt /mnt/ /data/ does not seem to work due to that wildcard. The command: rsync -avz -F --include-from=/tmp/synclist-small.txt /mnt/ /data/ syncs

Hi all, I'm using Debian, I want to make a local repository which can let me install packages more conveniently. Considering that the rsync tool is the Debian official proposed tool for syncing the files among its different rsync server sites, I use the rsync client to downloading the deb packages from the different rsync servers distributed around the world-wide for good loadbalancing and

Hi all, See the following command: $ rsync -av ftp.cn.debian.org::debian/dists/Debian7.8/Release . Which will download the file Release under the directory from which the rsync command is isssued.

Hi all, I've tried to use the --files-from and --delete options together. But finally find that in this case, the `--delete' won't delete the extraneous files from dest dirs. So, does the --delete conflict with --files-from? Any hints on this issue? Regards -- .: Hongyi Zhao [ hongyi.zhao AT gmail.com ] Free as in Freedom :.

Hi all, Suppose I have a file on the remote rsync server: rsync://path/to/myfile And I want to only retrieve a part of the file based a ranges of bytes to my local host, say, 0-499, means only transfer the first 500 bytes of that file. Is this possible with rsync client? Regards -- .: Hongyi Zhao [ hongyi.zhao AT gmail.com ] Free as in Freedom :.
