Hello,
I run into some really strange case I haven't seen so far over the
years.
I syncing a lot of different macines, raspberry pis to a backup server
nightly.
Lately one of them misbehaves.
Server rsync: rsync version 3.1.2 protocol version 31
Client rsync: rsync version 3.1.3 protocol version 31
Command used:
rsync --numeric-ids --delete --delete-excluded --delete-after -f "merge
${BUFFER}" --stats -e "${SSH_CMD}" root@${BACKUP_HOST}:/ $BACKUPROOT/
Sometimes when I run this script from the server it just decides to
delete ALL files what it already have and sync is done.
I run it again couple of minutes after it syncs everything.
What can cause such a behavior? I can of course remove the delete
directives but then the local copy will become messy over time and this
perfectly works with all other machines.
It is not even that it cannot connect with rsync timeout and then it
decides to delete the data. It can connect then decides to delete all
data and done.
Rsync is run by root in any case so it's not a privilege problem.
Any ideas?
