-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 My guess is that it is the atimes patch causing the problem. Normally rsync would never say "u" in the itemized output as it is "reserved for future use". Plus copying the file would change the atime.

For backuping system folders on ArchLinux I use the following command per folder: rsync --update -DHAErlptgo --relative --delete-during $dir $backupdir The problem is that every file in /root folder and its subfolders is copied each time when this command is run. In all other folders only new or modified files are copied. The files and the folder itself have the following attributes: [root at

Hi, I am runing rsync --backup --backup-dir=$BACKUPDIR where the BACKUPDIR=$(date +%d) to recycle the $BACKUPDIR in a month. But rsync does not clean the $BACKUPDIR before writing to it in cycling. I guess you have to clean it manually before the rsync can write to it. As my $BACKUPDIR is in remote machine, do you have to run ssh to delete it first before calling rsync in a script? Or if there

Hi all, I have the following situation: Backup /mysource to /backupdir, /backupdir/full ---------an old full backup /backupdir/back2 -------previous increment backup(based on the full backup mentioned above) /backupdir/back1 ------most recent increment backup (based on the two backups mentioned above) How can I merge the two increment backups into one directory,say

Hi Kevin, Thank you very much for the response. Actually, I don't think I need to clean the backup dir defined in --backup-dir=<backup dir>, when the contents has already been deleted in the destination (no exist), it will delete from the backup dir as well in next cycle, correct?

My Samba AD DC was installed from scratch some months ago using the instructions from this page https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_AD_DC_HOWTO and everything had been working well. I just upgraded some deb-packages with samba to the same version but different buid-release. Regarding

Greetings! I've ran into a couple difficulties for a particular rsync use-case I'm involved in implementing - hoping someone here might be able to clue me in! I've got an existing linux box, with a particular directory that needs to be mirrored onto another server, into a different base path on that server - i.e.: server1:/var/lib/bar/ to server2:/backupdir/var/lib/bar/ Now,

Hello, I'm new to this and am trying to modify the "backup to a central backup server with 7 day incremental" script from http://samba.anu.edu.au/rsync/examples.html to suit my situation. I have ended up with the script attached below and when running it from command line I get these errors: rsync error: syntax or usage error (code 1) at main.c(726) and a plethora of this >

Normally I would use the --link-dest option to do this but I can't since I'm rsyncing from a Mac to a Samba share on a Linux box and hard links don't work. What I want to do is create a 10 day rotating incremental backup. I used the first script example on the rsync examples page as a template. The only thing I changed was the destination to be a local directory and paths for

Hi, rsync 2.6.8 on OES 2 Linux On an OES 2 Linux server I mount a Netware volume (ncpmount) that is the destination server. All volumes are NSS. Some files are renamed in the destination volume. For example : (/media/backup is the NCP mount point ) rsync: rename "/media/backup/USR/SYSTEM32/.AUTOCHK.EXE.xDMw7T" -> "USR/SYSTEM32/AUTOCHK.EXE": Permission denied (13)

Hello, In a small environment I have to backup two servers, an Ubuntu 9.10 and a Windows Server 2008 machine. My Backuphost is a Ubuntu 9.10 machine as well. I installed rsync on both Ubuntu hosts from repository (3.0.6) and cwrsync from http://www.itefix.no/i2/node/10650 (3.0.7). Then I wrote some Bash-Scripts which executes rsync every week like that: BACKUPDIR=/var/backup rsync -v -a

I am using the following command and the excluded directory /usr/share/doc/ still appears with all it's contents in the backup directory when it's contents should be deleted. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? rsync --delete --delete-excluded -a -R --exclude="/proc/*" --exclude="/dev/*" --exclude="/usr/share/doc/*" --exclude="/backup*"

Is there any way to have rsync compare against a file with a *different* name? What I'd like to do is compare a vm - whatsit.img against a backup - whatsit.current, that's a symlink to whatsit.timestamp, and if different, *then* make the copy (which my script will then move to whatsit.newtimestamp, and change the symlink to point to the new one, then remove the old (or maybe save an older

Dear Martin Pool. We regularly use rsync for making backups of our file systems but we have noticed that the atimes are not transferred with the files and are also always updated on the sender's side. Therefore, we have created a modified version of rsync based on rsync-2.6.6 protocol version 29 which transfers the access times with the transferred files and also allows to preserve the access

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

Greetings! During migrating i686 installation of ArchLinux to x86_64, all filesystem was rsynced to a new location. Maybe this somehow relates to the problem that has appeared after migrating and that did not happen before: during backuping the system, rsync reports the following error message: rsync: set_acl: sys_acl_delete_def_file(var/log/journal/remote): Operation not supported (95) The

So I'm trying to write up a short script to do some backups over rsync. The goal is to have multiple client machines push the backups to the backup server nightly. The backup server will have a complete copy of the selected directories as well as revisions for the last 7 days. Here is the brief script I have. Btw if you're wondering about all the variables, I eventually want to set it to
