Simple whole volume copy
I have a volume at 192.168.0.2 on my local network. I'd like to rsync the
entire volume to a backup volume, skip all files already present on the
backup volume (same name and the same or earlier timestamp), and include all
flags, dates, etc. as applicable to Mac OS X 10.6.x.
Can someone tell me the proper command to do this.

Huge directory tree: Get files to sync via tools like sysdig
As Ben mentioned, ZFS snapshots is one possible approach. Another approach is to have a faster storage system. I have seen considerable speed improvements with rsync on similar data sets by say upgrading the storage sub system.

rsync not reporting diskfull error
I am involved with the development of lbackup. This message to the rsync mailing list is related to the following thread on the lbackup-disccussion mailing list : http://tinyurl.com/lbackup-discussion-diskfull
Essentially, I am curious to if any one using rsync 3.0.7 on Mac OS (10.6) Server has experienced an out of disk space error and not had a message similar to the following reported :

Protocol stream error on extended attribute, silent failure to copy all attributes
I'm using rsync 3.0.7 on Mac OS X 10.6, compiled according to Mike
Bombich's instructions at http://www.bombich.com/rsync.html. Rsync
repeatedly exits with a protocol data stream error when trying to copy
some com.apple.FinderInfo extended attributes. While testing this issue,
I found that rsync is not actually copying all extended attributes even
when there is no error message. I'm

rsync --link-dest won't link even if existing file is out of date
Feature request: allow --link-dest dir to be linked to even if file exists
in target.
This statement from the man page is adhered to too strongly IMHO:
"This option works best when copying into an empty destination hierarchy, as
rsync treats existing files as definitive (so it never looks in the link-dest
dirs when a destination file already exists)".
I was suprised by this behaviour

Ignore files gone missing.
Is there a way to have rsync not treat files that have gone
missing (e.g. Maildir messages that have been removed) as errors
while indicating I/O errors and such?

osx permission issue
hello,
does somebody know how to circumvent that "extra file access restriction
feature" introduced in osx some time ago ?
i already tried adding rsync binary to programms with "full disk access"
privilege ( system-prefs -> security & privacy -> privacy -> full disk
access)? , since running as root is not sufficient - but it does not work.

Verifying backups
Just chiming in slightly off topic.
As a first step if you are going to be backing up files to some media with a computer it would be a really good idea to ensure, that the hardware being used is not faulty. I am not saying that your hardware is faulty. However, it would be worth checking this somehow. Check the drive media for bad blocks, check that all the cables are working well. Ensure the

command line to backup my documents to external drive
I'm really confused with all the examples out there and all different types
of incremental backups. I tried several scripts but cannot reduce the size
of my backup folders. What I want is to backup my documents to my external
drive every month and save as much disk space as possible.
Lets say I have 3 backup directories in the external drive, backup03.10,
backup04.10 and backup05.10. I want

few questions on rsync
Hi,
I have few questions that could not find answers to in documentation.
Different filesystems:
Lets say I want to keep all extended attributes and everything else,
so I use -A, -X, --perms etc., together with --fake-super.
Now, lets say source FS supports some attributes not supported on
target FS (for example, XFS extended attributes). Would this work as
expected (ie. extended attributes are

How do you handle snapshotting? or do you leave that to the block/fs virtualization

originate sync from the daemon server
is there anything special to do this from the daemon server. I've setup
the /etc/rsyncd.conf with some filesystems and I would rather originate
(control) my rsyncs from this server and not from the hosts that have
the data I want. ie. I want to pull not push.
for instance my rsyncd.conf

comment = www
path = /snaps/www
numeric ids = true
log file = /snaps/rsync/logs/www.log
