similar to: Exclude and delete or not delete

Hi I'd like to have a list of excluded items that I can always use and combine them with job-specific excludes (or generally filters). Is it possible to use --exclude-from more than once? Do I have to combine the exclude files into one and give this to rsync? Is there another possibility (that also works on Windows)? Thanks bye Fabi

Hello I have a problem while synching between two NAS boxes with Linux. First NAS: group staff=50 (3.0.3pre1) Second NAS: groups ftp=50, staff=500 (rsync 3.1.1) I synched with -rptgo, without --numeric-ids. The expected result was that the items on the second group would be staff as well even with a different gid. However it looks like the 50 was taken literally and now all staff items are ftp

You need to switch to filters where you have the additional options hide, show, risk, and protect. See the filter rules section of man rsync.

Hi I'm trying to build a backup system based on rsync. It should work with different destinations (local, share, remote etc) that's why I'm looking for ways how every operation can be controlled from the client side. I want to create full backups and incremental backups. For the incremental backups I use --compare-dest lastfullbackup. This works nicely except that the whole directory

Hi We synch between servers, some are NAS with RAIDs, some are simple Linux servers. Sometimes I get messages like: WARNING: path/to/file failed verification -- update retained (will try again). What are the possible reasons for this message? I looked on the Internet and found old posts about a problem with big files. I do get this message with big files (GB) but also with small files

Hi I have a backup on a NAS that is quite full. So when I try to backup changed stuff it may run out of space, but only because rsync may try to write a new file before deleting the old one. That not only means changed files in the same place but also moved files, so delete-before wouldn't help. Is there a possibility to have a complete rsync run that only deletes files to make space for the

Hi I'd like to rsync a large amount of data over a slow connection, but only during night hours. I couldn't find a parameter that limits the time that rsync is running, only the timeout on idle time. I guess the way to go would be to start rsync, get the process ID and kill the process later on. Has anybody already written a bash script that would do something like that? Are there other

Hi, I'm trying to run the following program with lastest wine release. http://www.receita.fazenda.gov.br/publico/programas/irpf/2003/UnicoDisco/irpf2003v1_2.exe The installation runs OK, but when I try to run the program I got a exception. I think the problem is this fixme:file:DeviceIoControl Unimplemented control 256 for VxD device NWLINK How can I solve this? Is there any NWLINK.VXD

Hi, I'm trying to copy some directories with rsync and would like to delete files from the destination if they no longer exist in the source. I'm using the following command: rsync -v --archive --hard-links --delete --force --filter=':/.rsync-filter' /opt/ /mnt/backup/opt/ /opt does not contain any files the destination contains one file stewart at attobeast:/etc$ ls

Hi

Hi I was wondering what happens if a file that is regularly synched but seldom changes gets corrupted in the copy. As it seldom (or never) changes the mod time will always be the same. But if the content changes (bit flip, bad HD...) will rsync get this and synch it again? Would I need the -c (crc) flag for this to work? That of course slows things down quite a bit. Is this the only way to

Hi, Some years ago I developed a Delphi application for my private use and now I want it to run on Linux using wine. The application uses Paradox database engine. I tried to install the engine itself but failed. Eventually I installed the whole Delphi development environment with wine. It certainly installed BDE but I can not run even the dbd32.exe (database desktop). Machine: RH9 HW: HP

Hi Is there a way to get the status of a running rsync process? I believe it has to be done by sending a signal, but I can't find it anymore. I'd like to find out if a rsync process is hung or just transferring a lot of data. This is rsync 3.0.3(I think pre1) on a NAS with BusyBox. Thanks bye Fabi

Hi I have a NAS with rsync 3.0.3pre1. I know that is not new, but a NAS is not easy to update. This usually works fine. I have set up jobs to backup various stuff to another NAS. This is the statistics of one run. Though there were seen files (file size, vmware images) it finished almost immediately which lead to the funny transfer speed. receiving incremental file list Number of files: 125

Hello, given are 2 directories: a ??? a-file ??? .rsync-filter b ??? a-file I'd like to sync a/ -> b/, but I'd like to *exclude* all files. But I do not want to delete the excluded files. (The real scenario is a way more complex, the above is my reproducer.) and the following rsync command: `rsync -F --del a/ b/` Note, there is *no* `--delete-excluded`: $

Hi I'm using rsync 3.0.3 on a NAS. In the parameter list I use --timeout=1800. However sometimes I get very big timeout times like this one: io timeout after 12220 seconds -- exiting rsync error: timeout in data send/receive (code 30) at io.c(239) [sender=3.0.3pre1] rsynd.conf on the receiving side only defines modules, no timing parameters. How can that happen? What can I do to prevent

Hi all, I'd like to modify rsync to add a flag to compare the MD5 signature of the unencoded audio data in the header of a FLAC file to determine whether or not to transfer a file. The reason being that I've got a large number of FLAC files, many of which are corrupted in the destination volume, but many of which are valid but the tags have been modified. The sizes of both the source and
