Re: [BackupPC-users] rsync: –protect-args on Mac OS X ?
For others, it seemed to work with using '/Path With/Spaces in it/' in the share name. However, realizing how out of date the rsync binary is on Mac OS X, I decided to install a newer version that is, from what I read, far more memory efficient and utilizes the newer rsync protocol to be more efficient on transfers. Installed that in /usr/local/bin/rsync and modified the xfer jobs of those machines to use that path instead. Now I can use the --protect-args (-s) parameter.

Re: [BackupPC-users] BackupPC 4.1.1 and NFS shares

I would think it depends. I have found many cases in environments where running rsync between local mounts is preferable to using cp or a tar pipe. I would have to look at the Rsync implementation with a little more scrutiny but I suspect rsync provides greater flexibility in tuning its behavior on what to copy. To be clear, it is a very minor concern for my purpose and nothing worth getting in a twist over. The type of directories I backup tend to only grow between incrementals. It wasn’t really a concern but more of a question. I did however run into another problem in that my backups using Tar have been freezing. I do not know if I hit some size limitation except that the same jobs configured on version 3 which use Rsync work fine. For any file that is not skipped by the timestamp/length check in incrementals, you are going to read the entire file over NFS so rsync can compute the differences (where the usual point is to only send the differences over the network). I seem to recall there was a change in how files are compared but also know that incrementals with Rsync on V3 ran in a fraction of time as a full backup. So it must have had some way to skip doing a full file comparison. Is there any way you can run rsync remotely against the NFS host instead? I backup from two types of hosts: Lustre and NFS. I figured that it made far more sense to provide a direct mount rather than use Rsync over SSH or stand up Rsync. I would also run the risk of having to have hosts matt -- Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot___ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List:https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki:http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
