I'm backing up a rather huge system which I had synced with rsync before. First I've made a backup of my local copy using rsyncd, which worked pretty fine. I used the "ClientNameAlias" setting to access my local system instead of the live server. "RsyncShareName" was pointing to the appropriate rsyncd module name.
The second time I'm now trying to backup the live system instead of my local copy. I'm using rsync over SSH, which means I had to change XferMethod and RsyncShareName. Additionally I've also removed the ClientNameAlias setting. The backup seems to work will, as the data gets copied. However, since it takes extremely long, I have the impression that the old backups are not found anymore, and the full data is transferred again. I have no proof if the old data is really ignored, just think that it takes way too long. Can anyone confirm this? Is it a bug? It would have been very easy if rsyncd allows module names to be named like paths, e.g. "/". However, as this doesn't work I was forced to change the RsyncShareName... - michael ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list [email protected] List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
