I am trying to find a solution for the open source Linux software
"Back In Time" (https://github.com/bit-team/backintime)
where we evaluate the rsync exit code when taking a backup via rsync
and inform the user that an error has occured.
Questions:
1. Is there full list of possible reasons available that make rsync
exit with the return value 23?
'rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous
errors) (code 23) at main.c(1338) [sender=3.2.7]'
I want to decide for each reason if we treat it as an error or warning.
2. I want to ignore some reasons for exit code 23 by only logging it, mainly:
symlink has no referent: "/home/user/Documents/dead-link"
Is there a way to
- either prevent that this error leads to exit code 23 (if no other reason
occurs)
- or to prevent this specific check at all (but eg. copy the symlink "as
is")?
THX a lot!
PS 1: The typcially used rsync command line looks like this:
rsync --recursive --times --devices --specials --hard-links --human-readable -s
--copy-links --acls --perms --executability --group --owner --
info=progress2 --no-inc-recursive -l --delete --delete-excluded -v -i
