I run an rsync to backup my mail server ever 4 hours. Sometimes, I
get these sorts of warnings:
Rsyncing...

rsync warning: some files vanished before they could be transferred
(code 24) at main.c(977) [sender=2.6.9]
...done.
the rysnc command is
/usr/local/bin/rsync -aCHh --stats --delete-after --delete-excluded \
--exclude="/backup/" --exclude-from=/var/.rexcludes \
--link-dest="${BAKLOC}.sday.1" / ${BAKLOC}.sday.0
where BAKLOC is defined previously to /backup/mail
Is there anything I can do to have rsync work on a instantaneous
snapshot so these files don't even up getting moved out from under the
backup process?
This is 2.6.9 and I am not in a position to upgrade to 3.0 right now.
