Re: problems with telling rsync what to delete

If the files are still be deleted, then you've got some kind of an error in the contents of your --exclude-from file. You can either experiment with changes to fix it or ask a more specific question that includes both the --exclude-from line that you think should be working and the full path of a file that you think should not be deleted. I just fixed my problem. The full command I run is: /usr/bin/rsync --rsh=ssh -p -o --delete-after --recursive --links --times --compress --verbose --stats --backup --backup-dir=/home/erik/Wednesday --timeout=36000 --exclude-from=/home/erik/backup/temp/unchangedlist /home/erik/backup/temp/store [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/erik/current So basically I want to backup /home/erik/backup/temp/store, and in this directory I've created the structure I want to backup, so a possible file to backup is /home/erik/backup/temp/store/home/erik/ The file /home/erik/backup/temp/unchangedlist is: /home/erik/btest/backup /home/erik/btest/difflist Rsync sees 'store' as the directory to backup, therefore I either had to put a trailing / on that to let it use the contents of store or prepend all the filenames in unchangedlist with /store. Everything now works as expected, thanks for the suggestion. greets, Erik -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
RSync with File Compression
Hello, Rsync is great, thanks to all who work on it. Does anyone have any good strategies for keeping the backups on the remote side compressed on disk? I'm under the impression that gzipping the files would not work as they would not be available to rsync in the uncompressed state for subsequent backups. A compressed filesystem would be prefect, but the only references I could find was for a non-production quality kernel mod for ext2 (I'm running ext3). Has anyone else tackled this issue?

re: RSync with File Compression
Drew- There is a build of GZip (under Debian I think) that has an rsync friendly option. I have posted a patch for zlib to this newsgroup with code that makes zlib rsync friendly (along with some extra optimizations over the GZip implementation). Take a look in the list archives and you'll find the patch. Cheers! - K Original Message Hello,Rsync is great, thanks to all who work on it.

Re: Confusion regarding rsync vs. rsyncx
rsyncX is mac-to-mac only. Check out this page: http://www.quesera.com/reynhout/misc/rsync+hfsmode/ which should do pretty much what you want.

Modulo an ACL issue that we had to patch, this is working extremely well. But I want to add our OSX machines to the mix. This is, unfortunately, leaving me confused about rsyncx. I can do the normal thing from OSX using rsync. But the page for rsyncx says - cryptically, in my ignorant opinion - that rsyncx adds support for HFS+. Is this important? More, does it make a difference if the target of the backup is not OSX but Linux (and is therefore not running either rsyncx or HFS+)? If I'm backing up an OSX machine running rsync to a Linux machine, am I missing something that will prevent successful/complete restores? Is this solved by backing up from OSX running rsyncx to a Linux machine running rsync? Or can this only be solved by using OSX as the backup target (which isn't terribly likely in my current environment)? Thanks for any insight into this...
