I am trying to mirror only select directories from one server to another with
rsync through its daemon mode.
Server A
/export
/home
/A-do
/A-not
/A-copy
/das
/htdocs
/docs
/em
/htdocs
/docs
/psb
/htdocs
/docs
/X-do
/X-not
/X-copy
Server B
/export
/home
/extranet
/das
/htdocs
/docs
/em
/htdocs
/docs
/psb
/htdocs
/docs
I wish to copy everything in the /docs directories under the /das, /em and /psb
directories (in this simplified example) moving them from /export/home on
server A to /export/home/extranet on server B.
This is what I have in a rsyncd.conf on server B.
[dprweb_extranet]
path = /export/home/extranet
comment = California Department of Pesticide Regulation Extranet
uid = webuser
gid = other
read only = no
list = yes
hosts allow = ww.xxx.yy.zz
secrets file = /etc/.password
auth users = aaa
Here is the command I've tried on server A
/usr/local/bin/rsync -n -vvv --stats -Pzrtpl --delete
--password-file=/export/home/webuser/.appprod
--log-file=/export/home/webuser/logs/rsync-log --include
"/export/home/[internal|das|em|enf|itb|medtox|pml|psb|reg|whs]/htdocs/docs/*"
--exclude "/*" /export/home/xterernal/htdocs/ webu...@appprod::dprweb_extranet
This is failing with this message in the output.
sending incremental file list
rsync: change_dir "/export/home/xterernal/htdocs" failed: No such file or
directory (2)
Question A:
Why was it looking at the "/export/home/xterernal/htdocs" directory. The
external is one of the many directories I am trying to ignore.
Question B:
Where is it trying to change to the /export/home/xterernal/htdocs directory?
On server B? If so, that is not the desired path, /export/home/extranet/... is
the desired destination.
Can anybody provide some guidance on how to filter to select directories and
mirror them to another server with a different base path?
TIA
Ian
