> How do I prevent BackupPC from deleting the partially transfered file?
here's what I've done:
- turn up your timeout to some ridiculously large figure. just put an extra
zero or two at the end of the default value. Yeah, there's a possibility
that this will cause a hung backup to tie things up for longer than it
should; but you can always turn the value down once you have your initial
transfer done.
- if the problem is that you have too many files to transfer within your
allowed backup window (for business reasons or whatever) edit your file
include and exclude lists, so that you can get at least some of your files
transferred. Break it all down into manageable chunks which can be
transferred within the allotted time. (I know this isn't your situation,
David, but someone else may have this problem).
Les' suggestion of using the -C option to compress the data is also
worthwhile, on slow links. Here's the command I used on one particularly
slow link.
$Conf{RsyncClientCmd} = '$sshPath -C -o CompressionLevel=9 -c blowfish-cbc
-q -x -l rsyncbakup $host $rsyncPath $argList+';
setting the cipher (-c) to blowfish-cbc will save a few bytes and several
CPU cycles here and there. it's not a big improvement, but it is some
improvement.
