similar to: best rsync for use with windows (client) and long file names

I'm trying to use rsync (version 2.6.9) to back up some files. However, a few of them contain Hebrew characters. While I can back them up, the filenames come through scrambled (I don't have Hebrew characters anymore). I've tried the -8 switch, but that didn't work. Any suggestions? Background: The files are created on Windows and saved on a samba share (v3.0.24). I can copy

Hi Has anybody ever made comparisons about the performance of cygwin 1.7 compared to 1.5? I believe there were some changes that should make it faster, but I don't know if they affect rsync too. Thanks bye Fabi

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 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

When I go to page http://rsync.samba.org/download.html then there is no download of the windows binaries except the cwRsync version. However there must be such a pure-rsync binary version for Windows because I have already an old, outdated rsync.exe v3.0.4 So is there elsewhere a download site for the newest rsync for windows?

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

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

Hello I'm looking for a way to exclude and delete some items but not delete other items. Use case: I'm on Windows where there are folders like recycle.bin and system volume information on every drive. I can exclude them while backing up my data drive. But I now also have other data that is excluded and that I want to delete from my existing backup. However if I use --delete-excluded then

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 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

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

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 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

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

Hi: I have a large directory with about 0 Milillion files in it to backup by network. Server and client both windows. rsync server config: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ strict modes = false hosts allow = 10.200.121.104 hosts allow = 10.171.209.87 hosts deny = * log file = /cygdrive/d/log/rsyncd.log port=8730 uid = 0

After that I start wine notepad only to see if wine is still working

Hi I'm using a cygwin compiled rsync on Windows to backup and restore files from my local Windows computer. I'm trying several destination types: - remote with rsync:// - Samba share \\Server\Share - local drive I'm having problems with the user rights. The backup works ok but after restoring some files I can't access them. I've read that this is because rsync runs as cygwin
