If you are going straight between two Linux machines you can do the rsync direct and forget about using shares
To begin with I added the netbook into the /etc/hosts file on my Squeezecenter box 192.168.0.5 netbook I then added my own squeezebackup directory in the /shares/internal directory on the netbook: [EMAIL PROTECTED] internal]# pwd /shares/internal [EMAIL PROTECTED] internal]# ls -l total 40 drwxr-xr-x 2 www-data root 4096 Mar 24 15:26 BETH drwxr-xr-x 5 nolan root 4096 Mar 27 2008 NOLAN drwxr-xr-x 11 nolan root 4096 Mar 27 2008 PICTURES drwxrwxr-x 2 root www-data 4096 Dec 1 2006 PUBLIC drwx------ 2 root root 16384 Nov 12 14:14 lost+found drwxrwxr-x 6 nolan nolan 4096 Apr 25 2008 squeezebackup Then I performed the rsync: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home2# rsync -ar /home2/Slimserver/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/shares/internal/squeezebackup --delete --progress [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password: Could not chdir to home directory /home/nolan: No such file or directory building file list ... 10297 files to consider deleting Media/Compilations/Clerks 2 Soundtrack/.02 - Talking Heads - Nothing But Flowers.flac.5k2Ux5 ./ Media/ Media/Compilations/ Media/Compilations/Clerks 2 Soundtrack/ Media/Compilations/Clerks 2 Soundtrack/02 - Talking Heads - Nothing But Flower.flac ..... and so on .... It is pretty slow but it's fine for a backup device and especially for 1TB at that price :) Let me know if you have any problems... cheers, Nolan -- nolan ------------------------------------------------------------------------ nolan's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7440 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=46883 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
