Logging problem
Hi, I'm using rsync version 2.5.5 on OpenBSD 3.3 to backup the users /home directory over the Internet. It's started by a cron job every night. For logging I've add the -vv parameter and redirect the output to a logfile. Like this: rsync -vv --stats --archive --delete --backup --backup-dir=/home/backupdir --compress --rsh 'ssh -2 -i keyfile.key' /home [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/backup/current >/home/logs/date.log 2>&1 All the files are transferred successfully but logging doesn't work OK. When I add a file into the /home directory rsync picks him up and transfers him to the server, but when I look into the logfile he says that the file is uptodate and did not transfer anything. That's strange because the new file is on the server... Also when I check the server Internet statistics I see that the outgoing traffic is much bigger than the incoming traffic (23M IN, 35M OUT). Is this correct??? Does anybody know a solution? Thanks for the help.

The "is uptodate" is reporting that the file metadata was not changed. > Also when I check the server Internet statistics I see that the outgoing > traffic is much bigger than the incoming traffic (23M IN, 35M OUT). Is this > correct??? If the size or modtime differs the receiver will send approximately 6 bytes for every 700 (0.9%) to the sender. If there isn't any change in the file the sender only instructs the receiver to do a local copy of the data in huge chunks. Those copy instructions don't take much bandwidth. Even accounting for the file-list with metadata the sender transmits it is perfectly reasonable to see what you report. > Does anybody know a solution?

Any existing work that I should be aware of? You could look at BackupPC, http://backuppc.sourceforge.net, which does compression of server side files with rsync. It stores file attributes separate from the compressed files, so it can compare the correct size to the sender's side file list. It also only stores identical files once, including files with different names or from different machines.

Basic doubts
Hi all, I am very new to the rsync world (as well as the linux world) and have some really basic doubts. Please bear with me. I installed RH 9 on two systems in the same network and Rsync 2.5.5 was automatically installed with it. When I executed the command rsync avz test.txt /backupdir/ , it backed up the file test.txt into backupdir/test.txt. But when I tried the command rsync avz test.txt system2::home/ , it gave me the following: system2 connection refused. Rsync: connection unexpectedly closed. Rsync error: error in protocol data stream(code 12) at IO.c(150) System2 has a fully qualified domain name. Could anyone please tell me if I have to start the Rsync server and if yes, how to do it.

Take your time reading the manpage section about the eight different ways of using rsync. Anything i said here would just be duplicating that document. -- J.W.

EOF error at io.c line 165
Hello All, I keep getting rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (1074142 bytes read so far) rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(165). Does anyone have any idea of what could cause this? I've gotten the same error on two seperate machines. One UltraSparc running Linux and the other a SparcStation running OpenBSD. We have an x86-SMP system running linux on the same network, and it works fine. -Thomas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

This message is often preceded with a message telling why the other end of the connection closed it. If not, you will need to look to the other end for info. -- J.W.
