Tracking when connection drops during synchronisation
Hi all, I am running a nightly rsync to pick up changes to mail files on a remote server using a scheduled BASH script. The transfer works over an ADSL line. Occasionally the connection drops during the night. A few questions: 1. How can I get rsync to report connection reset errors? 2. Once a connection has dropped does rsync re-try the sync? Is there a timeout on this? 3. What's the best way handle rsync errors in BASH? My current rsync command is: rsync -av hostname::MailBoxes /mailboxreplica Thanks in advance Reuben [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
rsync between gateway and workstation
Hi, Have one workstation 192.168.1.2 Have one gateway for access to internet 192.168.1.1 Connection between them by crossover cable. Only this 2 boxes. Want to copy the gateway /home/ directory to the workstation on /mnt/backup/. Both sides of copy is on ext3. Rsync is installed on both boxes ... both using Suse 9.0. The users on both will be root in this case. I only have this kind of setup for a week. Used to be standalone. Kindly the full commandline command to accomplish this please..taking account the above directory/partition info. don't seem to get it right myself, can use rsync on workstation to workstation.

Re: rsync between gateway and workstation
There are many different ways to accomplish this. Are you wanting to use rsync in daemon mode, or rsync over an ssh transport? I hate to deliver the stock answer, but it sounds like you need to RTFM a bit and then try us back if you still can't get it to work. -J Hi, Have one workstation 192.168.1.2 Have one gateway for access to internet 192.168.1.1 Connection between them by crossover cable.

Re: rsync between gateway and workstation
Hi Jim, Thanks for your reply. Read the man rsync...even printed itbut well it looks a lot like shorthand to me. Kindly some pointers if other howto or whatever excist. I did research as best I could..butmaybe i don't have enough between the ears?? Rsync over ssh...will only once in a while when changes done on gateway. Kindly an example as per my situation. When in plain english I usually get along...even improve once in a while.but the choice is yours.

Re: rsync between gateway and workstation
Assuming you have sshd up and running on the remote box, and a user named backup which can log in interactively, you could do something like the following: rsync -av --rsh=/usr/bin/ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/path/to/stuff Note that many *nix distributions / ssh installations (quite properly) do not allow direct remote root login over ssh. -J Hi Jim, Thanks for your reply.

Re: rsync between gateway and workstation
Hi Jim, Now it is working. I had all correct but... --rsh=/usr/bin/ssh...no mention in my docs of this. I just added this and there she goes.

RE: Win32 and Backing up open files
St Bernard Software developed a module of their open file manager to work with my software, SOS Standby Server, which uses rsync. You can order the module for SOS from St Bernard and it will work with any implementation of rsync. The open file manager runs on the windows machine and it detects when rsync connects to it. It works great and will allow you to back up ANY open file, even system files. It would be way cool if rsync could somehow deal with open files without a third party file manager, as the St Bernard Open file manager costs about $500.00. I hope someone undertakes this.

I felt some similarity between stbernard open file manager and RSYNC. One similarity is both of them break the file into peices. What stbernad open file manager does is it continually moniters the system. It maintains peices of files that are being used by different process. When ever you try to backup some file which is open by any process.WRITE LOCK .The backup software can backup the peices of file that is not being written to and the st bernard open file manager gives the previous version of the peice of file that is being written to. So what i think essentially happens is you cannot have a real-time backup but you are guarenteed to have a backup with some delay. CAN we design RSYNC Client and Server in a way that it does some thing similar to this. Correct me if iam wrong. just a thought. tarun Jason Haar [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Wed, 2004-03-03 at 07:07, Jason M. Felice wrote: I now fully and completely remember why I hate Windows. Good.

That's part of the reason why you have to use special versions of NTBackup/etc to backup Exchange and SQL servers. As these files are always in use, there is no way you can read 'em. On a Unix system, you can still access/backup your SQL databases as files - even when they are in use.
