Non-rsync backup server
I'm new to rsync, after research on rsync for almost a week. I would like to know whether is there any way to backup my server using rsync to another non-rsync backup server? i would like to just mirror text files into this backup server. thanks amy -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
Re: Long time needed for Building file list Any suggestions ?

We have a similar problem as we are running dirvish to produce nightly live backups. The file list building process takes too long. I have noticed that building the file list is not done in parallel on the remote host and the local host. Wouldn't that be an option to speed up the process? Build the file list in parallel on the source side and the destination side (there are already two rsync processes running anyway) and compare the outcome when both have finished. This could easily reduce the time needed before actually syncing by a factor of 2. Are there any ideas in this direction?

You will need rsync on both ends of the transfer to use rsync... It does not need to be running as a daemon, if you can ssh to the server and rsync is available on it (somewhere), then you can use rsync.

No. The file in src dir was updated before rsync run, and became newer than one in dest dir. Does rsync version 2.6.2 exhibit this same behavior? -chris -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
Re: include/exclude patterns to copy just certain files?
Wayne Davison wrote: Bob Proulx wrote: rsync -a --include '*/' --include '**/a1/foo' --exclude * . example.com:/tmp/ Yes, that is the way to use include/exclude without first figuring out where all the foo files are. As you noted that results in all directories in the tree being created. Darn. The easiest way around this is to switch from include/exclude to using the --files-from option, like this: find . -name foo | rsync -a --files-from=- . example.com:/tmp/ Yes! That is exactly what I want. I see that it is a new option. I had not noticed its arrival. In fact I needed to upgrade to get it. I really think that is a good design direction. Keep all of the file finding tasks in 'find' and use it to drive rsync. A nice modular approach that follows the traditional UNIX philosophy. I like it! As an enhancement I would really like it even more if the --from0 option could be combined with --files-from to be --files-from0. It is more compact and has a similar style to find's --print0 option. Although I will probably use -av0 with this more often than anything else so this is not a big deal. Thank you for pointing me to that option. It works great.
