I am having a problem using rsync 3.1.2 to backup a remote linux machine to
local OSX machine. It works fine, but one large directory full of files has a
lot of files with foreign characters in the filenames and this blows up rsync.
I tried to use:
—iconv=utf-8-mac,utf-8
But still it gets to certain files…and I can’t even see which file is causing
the problem, because rsync blows up before reporting the filename…but I get the
dreaded
error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(226)
does anyone have any suggestions for how I can get rsync to backup all files
from remote linux to local mac…. Its possible that there is something else
funky about the unknown file causing the problem…I would think utf-8 on the
remote host ought to cover it…but maybe not? I have the locale set to
en_us.UTF-8 on the remote linux box.
When I exclude the large dir full of files… 500GB or so…then everything else
syncs fine…
If I don’t use —iconv, then it ends up getting stuck in a strange loop where it
complains about files vanishing and keeps retrying in an endless loop.
Any suggestions for how I can fix this would be appreciated. Here is the
complete rsync command line I am using:
/usr/local/bin/rsync -av --delete --numeric-ids --relative \
--delete-excluded --iconv=utf-8-mac,utf-8 \
--rsync-path=/usr/bin/rsync \
--rsh=/usr/bin/ssh -i /etc/rsnapshot/rsnapshot-key [email protected]:/ \
/Volumes/backup/raid_snapshots/daily.0/myhost/
