Incremental Diffs?
Hello, I'm new to rsync, and I'm confused about something. I was under the impression that it used some sort of diff function to save time bandwidth when copying over files. I'm using it to backup files from one computer to another, and it works exactly as I thought it would, except that it seems to be copying entire files over when they've change rather than the differences. This is a problem with a few huge mail spools that I need to back up; even if there's just a couple messages appended to the end, it copies over the entire file. Here's the command I'm running: rsync -vvaRbS --backup-dir=/backups/rsync/old --delete --rsh=ssh \ --exclude=*.core --numeric-ids --stats --progress --bwlimit=100 \ /usr/local /home /var/mail remotehost:/backups/rsync/current Am I missing something here? Does one of these options imply -W? Possibly relevant: I'm running rsync 2.5.2 client-side but 2.5.3pre1 server-side. 2.5.2 kept coredumping on the server for some reason. I would have investigated further had 2.5.3pre1 not fixed it. Both boxes are FreeBSD 4.5. --- Kim Scarborough http://www.unknown.nu/kim/ --- I have to applaud whoever thought of making a big hot dog shaped car, and then made that vision a reality - Chris Scales --- -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

Re: hosts allow = wildcards
Hello! A good day to you all. i would like to know the exact syntax for the hosts allow and hosts deny line. The documentation states that the standard unix wildcards will do , but i have nothad any success when i set the ff options: hosts allow = 192.168.37.* hosts allow = 192.168.37. hosts allow = 192.168.37.* 192.168.38.* hosts allow = *.plugbert.com hosts allow = * Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. hosts deny = * hosts allow = *.midcoast.com 10.0.0.0/8 192.168.0.0/16 206.26.224.0/21 is how we do it. tail the logfile while attempting for more detail regarding why your attempt might not be working. -Jason Philbrook -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
