Update (Was: Using rsync to mirror a hard drive.)

Just to let people know. There are several things which I discovered but will not comment on ( for example compiling with debug options on--BTW you have to manually modify Makefiles to turn on debugging. It seems there is no option for it in configure-- and using gdb causes rsync to terminate

Generating cpio list.

One of the things I want to do besides mirror a hard drive is maintain an incremental backup on tape. The way for me to do this ( of course ) is to take the output of rsync and use it to generate a list of files for cpio. The basic ideal is something like this declare -i head tail # gets the

There's a program to apply patches, typically called patch Try man patch. If your system doesn't have, and can't get patch, just read the patches and edit the appropriate files by hand. It's not particularly difficult. Incidentally, I want to point out that there's no good reason to cc [EMAIL

Now, that's a good solution. if it MUST be done over rsync, and it's not there, write it in yourself. It's amazing, sometimes, the things people want added into a generic tool, and they expect Tridge or Dave to write and maintain it. It's a tool for non-interactively maintaining directory

How is that different from the behavior now when multiple source directories are given? The rsync Usage says: Usage: rsync [OPTION]... SRC [SRC]... [USER@]HOST:DEST or rsync [OPTION]... [USER@]HOST:SRC DEST or rsync [OPTION]... SRC [SRC]... DEST or rsync [OPTION]...

He's wanting rsync to interleave the directories, automatically resolving any conflicts, not put multiple directories under the destination. At least, that's what he seems to be asking. Tim Conway [EMAIL PROTECTED] 303.682.4917 Philips Semiconductor - Longmont TC 1880 Industrial Circle, Suite
