Transfering a linux root directory with rsync, too many files transfered!

2003-12-23 Thread Hannes Kocznar
Hi, I'm transfering a whole linux root dir (+ subdirs) to a backup location. I tried -avr and -avrc switches. My problem is that rsync somewhat seems to transfer nearly everything (2960 files!) while only maybe 10 or 15 were changed. I'm backing up over gsm, so i got a high phone bill and very

Look in the server's log file -- rsync puts some of the messages there out of paranoia about exposing too much about the server's setup to the end user. It may well be that rsync is being too paranoid in this instance. ..wayne.. Is there any way to *change* that behavior, particularly if

The rsync command tries to send sample_file to the backup server, which cannot write it because it was not able to recurse into my_directory. Removing the -p switch and removing the backup file did not succeed, and rsync continued to preserve the perms even without the switch. I am running

yeah, except that the directory is not 700 but 600, so even user backup cannot traverse it... but root can. Ah, I see. Sounds like you're down to either running as root on both ends, or ignoring errors. Have you considered using sudo such that the fileserver isn't actually logging into the
