Re: Merging three slightly different directories

I suspect you want a duplicate finder more than a file transfer tool. EG: https://stromberg.dnsalias.org/~strombrg/equivalence-classes.html On Tue, Jun 7, 2022 at 5:36 PM hput via rsync wrote: > I want to merge 3 slightly different directories of mostly images. > > Not just mostly but the

Re: Trying to elevate rsync privileges when connecting over ssh without using NOPASSWD in sudoers

Why not rsync directly as root? Then you can use a passwordless, passphraseless RSA (or similar) keypair. On Fri, Mar 11, 2022 at 4:58 AM Dr. Mark Asbach via rsync < rsync@lists.samba.org> wrote: > Hi there, > > We are using ansible to deploy system configuration and web application > source

Windows backups?

Can rsync back up an NTFS using a Windows 10 kernel? So far I've had good luck backing up NTFS filesystems on a dual boot system when booted into Linux, but not when booted into Windows. I've been bitten in the past by /usr/bin/find (for EG) having problems with Windows junctions over sshfs.

Re: BackUp with "inverse" increments

rsync --link-dest is fast and simple, good stuff. I recommend using it with some sort of wrapper script for rotations, like Backup.rsync: https://stromberg.dnsalias.org/~strombrg/Backup.remote.html On Wed, Oct 6, 2021 at 7:29 AM Kevin Korb via rsync wrote: > See --link-dest. That is what

I was thinking --link-dest too. Sometimes this can be done with cpio too; check out the -pdlv options. On Sat, Sep 4, 2021 at 4:57 PM Kevin Korb via rsync wrote: > Rsync does almost everything cp does but since it is designed to network > it never got that feature. I was thinking maybe

Re: Which method (rsync-based) is better for backing up Linux servers to Synology NAS?

I suppose I may as well mention: https://stromberg.dnsalias.org/~dstromberg/Backup.remote It just does rsync snapshotting with --link-dest, and keeps the last n snapshots. It's smart enough to resume a previously interrupted snapshot. It's pretty simple - both to set up and to use. I used to

I've not looked into mrsync and multiple interfaces; I'm guessing it'll use your (multicast) routing table. On Fri, Mar 26, 2021 at 1:13 PM Harry Mangalam via rsync < rsync@lists.samba.org> wrote: > mrcast is interesting (Hadn't stumbled across it before) but while it > handles multicat, it

Hi Harry. Are you the person I worked with at UCI a bit? Anyway, you might consider trying mrsync; it's intended to do rsync over multicast. HTH. On Fri, Mar 26, 2021 at 12:22 PM Harry Mangalam via rsync < rsync@lists.samba.org> wrote: > Spent an hour trying to find the answer to this on the

Re: Is there any way to restore/create hardlinks lost in incremental backups?

Hi. Is it possible that, if day4 is consuming too much space, that day3 was an incomplete backup? The rsync wrapper I wrote goes to a little trouble to make sure that incomplete backups aren't allowed. It's called Backup.rsync, and can be found at:

GPL-compatible library implementing the rsync-over-ssh protocol?

Is there such a thing? I saw librsync, which appears to be the right algorithm, but not the protocol. And I saw the acrosync-library, which appears to be the protocol, but it's not GPL-compatible. Are there others? Thanks! -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing

Re: Rsync between 2 datacenters not working

You could try using an automounter, like autofs, in combination with sshfs. It'll be slower, possibly a lot slower, but it should be more reliable over an unreliable connection. I've been using: remote
