Subject: RE: How to make rsync faster?
Thanks for the reply. How safe is it NOT to chksum? Does rsync use size
instead or date instead or both together?
Actually splitting is what I just did. I split 250 hosts into 4
I'm no rsync guru my any means, but two things spring to mind.
Use the -t option to stop all the spurious check summing.
Split your script into multiple scripts, each with a share of host
names.
Run each in parallel. Multiple rsyncs can run on the one box
concurrently.

I was wondering if the following is possible, or is planned for rsync.
I backup a number of databases with rsync that work very well with the
rsync algorithm.
Ie, I am backing up a gigabyte+ database over a dial-up speed link and
it doesn't take very long, so the daily differences in the files
This probably won't help, but I had a similar problem with rsync 2.6.9.
Cwrsync with rsync 2.6.9 on Windows 2003 server to OpenBSD. (rsync
2.6.8, not using daemon mode)
2.6.8 at both ends worked perfectly.
Upgraded to 2.6.9 just on the Windows box and it would just hang at a
diffent spot each
Hi,
Hopefully this isn't duplicating info. If so, sorry for the noise.
I tried searching through old posts to this list about this issue, but
couldn't find anything that worked.
Below is a script I have put together that lets you rsync from a Windows
2003 shadow copy without having to copy files
I do an offline copy of the exchange database, but (as you indicated) as
it can be tricky to use on another server, as seconday backup I use
EXMERGE to extract everyones mailbox to a PST file. I then rsync the PST
files.
It has some limitations, but it works ok as a secondary backup.
I've used
I am using rsync in
a situation where the amount of bwlimit I want to use changes depending on the
time of day.
for example, I
startrsync at 2am when no-one else is using the system, so I want it to
use100k/sec. At 9am, it is still running, but as the bandwidth of the link
it's using now
Hi,
I have a particular directory in my exclude list, but I want it excluded
from --delete-excluded.
Is this possible.
or maybe if I explain what I'm trying to do, someone will come up with a
more suitable way.
I am using rsync (2.6.6) to backup data from a Windows Server (cygwin)
to an OpenBSD
