Re: psync backup problems: suggestions?

2005-07-13 Thread Joseph Alotta

Hi Randall,

How did you get it to work?  I had trouble getting cpan to install  
File::MacOS and I put it out to the group and nobody offered a way to  
get it to compile.


Yesterday, I tried using rsync to backup locally.  It worked fine for  
my home directory, it started writing files after maybe 10 seconds of  
building a list.  Then I tried it for / and it was building  
directories for about 2 1/2 hours and I killed it, not having wrote a  
single file.  My disk is 30G and I am using about 20G.


The backup program that came with the Seagate drive backed up the  
whole thing in about 45 minutes without a problem, but I still like  
psync better.


Joe.

Joseph Hi everyone,
Joseph Why you are debating the relative merits of psync and rsync.

Joseph Unless I missed something, psync is not available on Tiger  
anymore

Joseph and nobody has a fix for it.

Joseph So we don't have the option of using psync.

I'm still using psync every day on Tiger.  What are you saying?

Look at the first message in this very thread - the one that says 
SOLVED in the subject.

Thanks so much.  I found that message with SOLVED.  I don't know  
why I didn't see it before.  I guess the spamblocker killed it.


Anyway, I got psync up and running and it is running well.  It is  
running as I write.


As an aside, does anyone know how to turn spotlight off of a volume?   
It immediately starts creating an index and it is causing my  
comnputer to run hot and make everything else run slow.


Joe.
