Run rsync through intermediary server with SSH

I'm using rsync, ssh, and cron glued together with Python as a push-based synchronization system. From a single location, I push content out to various offices. I log stdout/stderr on the master server to make sure everything is running smoothly. I would now like for some of our "regional hubs" t

Re: Feature I'd love to see: --move-dest

Hi, This seems to be a reappearing request. Interestingly enough, I wanted the exact same thing a while ago and nobody was able to suggest a quick solution without implementing a new feature. I didn't have the time to read into the rsync source code, so I decided to write a little perl script, whi

RE: Feature I'd love to see: --move-dest

David, You make some good points. However, I still think a --move-dest feature would be handy. First of all, --link-dest is nice on platforms and file systems that support hard links, but not all platforms and file systems do, and some that do have tagged them on as an afterthought but don't

Re: Feature I'd love to see: --move-dest

Hi, I'm curious as to why you need a new option rather than just using --link-dest. Both --link-dest and --copy-dest already allow the "two very common restor scenarios" that you mention and --link-dest uses hardly any extra disk space than your --move-dest suggestion. You also get the added adv

Feature I'd love to see: --move-dest

Looking over rsync's --compare-dest, --copy-dest, and --link-dest options, there's one thing I really wish I could do, and I've been looking for a few years now for a program that could do it: Instead of copying or hard-linking from the compare directory to the target directory, I'd like to move th

rsync 2.6.5

Hello, Currently we are using rsync 2.0 in our system to take backup. But it gives an error when it comes to our one of the folder which has very huge data(50 GB). We got to know that rsync 2.0 is not capable of transfering large amount of data and we were asked to upgrade the versi

Idle option in rsync

Hi. Is there an option in rsync that would lower loading of the disk, namely loading on a file write/delete? For example, in my case it would be great if after a file writing rsync would sleep for N seconds. My options: rsync -v -a -u -S --delete-during --ignore-errors -b --backup-dir=path --lo
