Hi all! :-)
I have a small rsync script to sync my data to a usb-disk. It works fine, when I start it in console. I get 3 rsync processes (look in top) and the backup takes ~25 min. But, when I add the script in cron to start it at 1am at night it takes 7 - 9 hours and I see up to 180 processes. When I look in top I see a hight load of 60 - 80 and 40 - 60 waits. Why? Can someone explain why it takes so long when it starts with cron?
This is my rsync command: rsync -azc --delete "$QUELLORDNER" "$ZIELORDNER"
This is the entry in cron (crontab -e): * 2 * * * /root/backupscript/backup.sh
Data to sync: 18 Gb, 185.000 files.
When I look in the log files I see errors like this:
rsync: rename "/media/usb/sicherung/var/lib/fail2ban/.fail2ban.sqlite3.JCzY1c" -> "var/lib/fail2ban/fail2ban.sqlite3": No such file or directory (2)
rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previousrsync error:
some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code 23) at
main.c(1196) [sender=3.1.2]
directory (2)
Can you help me to solve this problem?
regards,
Hannes Hutmacher
