I'm looking for a way to use rsyncd to rename a directory in a module. I have worked out how to do everything else in the backup scheme below using only the daemon services. But I can't find a way to do the directory rename without using SSH. I couldn't find anything I could use in the archives.
In the backup scheme I'd like to use, each client has a module defined on the server. Daily, each client saves snapshots of itself into a directory named for the date the snapshot was taken. Previous snapshot directories then hold copies of only the updated and deleted files. The steps I use are: 1) look for the most recent snapshot directory and save the name (2007-01-06). 2) rename it to the current date (2007-01-07). 3) on the client, run "rsync -rt --delete-during --backup --backup-dir=2007-01-06 localdir server::2007-01-07". I can do the rename by running rsync through SSH as: "rsync --rsync-path='mv 2007-01-06 2007-01-07 && rsync' server:2007-01-07", but I would prefer not to have to install SSH and user accounts on the server. -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
