Didn’t test it with DP7 though. rsync is working properly, the problem as it turns out is isolated to the Drobo. I was mislead, because I THOUGHT the finder copies were working. As I said in my last email: But, I was wrong about the Finder copy. The 8bit file names APPEARED to copy, and gave no error, and made the completion noise, but did not, in point of fact, copy. So this is a Drobo issue and not a rsync issue. Thanks for your time. -- You and me Sunday driving Not arriving -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.

Also, I am guessing that the /Volumes/TV is the source for the rsync. Is it possible that the file has actually moved or been renamed? No, the file is there. If the Drobo (hosted) volume is the source for the rsync command, then perhaps checking the file system format of that device is also worth while? I am running rising on my Mac which has the Drobo’s TV share mounted at /Volumes/TV I would suggest you consider compiling a recent version of rsync for your system.

rsync with 8bit file names?
When trying to sync my TV folder to a mirror drive, episodes with non-ASCII characters in them cannot be processed by rsync. Anything I can do about this?

rsync with aging
I have two folders, let's call them Server and Archive. What I want to do is send all the files from server that are older than… say 30 days to archive and delete them from server. OK, no problem. However, I also want to delete any files from Server that already exist on Archive. So let's say on 28-01-2013 I have Server: 23-10-2011 31-12-2012 14-12-2012 17-01-2013 Archive: 23-10-2011 17-01-2013 . . . run rsync command here . . . Files left on Server: 31-12-2012 # less than 30 days old Files on Archive: 23-10-2011 # was already there 14-12-2012 # more than 30 days old 17-01-2013 # was already there -- MEGAHAL: within my penguin lies a torrid story of hate and love. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.

Is this possible
I have a directory we'll call Books which contains in it the ebooks that I have. A file name will be: Verne, Jules - The Voyages and Adventures of Captain Hatteras.epub Twain, Mark - Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.epub If I've gotten around to standardising it's name I have another directory, dirB where I dump ebooks that I happen to get. What I want to do is sync files from dirB to Books, but I want to exclude files whose names are 'close' to the names that already exist in Books. So, a file named Huckleberry Finn would not be copied, nor would a file named Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain.pdf I'm thinking there might be a way to do this with rsync, but how? Would I be better off trying to unzip the epubs (they are mostly epubs) and pull the docTitle from the toc file? Has anyone done anything like this already? I am doing it manually, but it is tedious and I still manage to get duplicates. -- Dinosaurs are attacking!

Include and Exclude
I thought this command would do what I wanted, but instead it doesn't transfer any files: rsync -avh --stats --password-file=/var/rsync.passwd --include=Maildir/ --exclude=* mail::root/usr/home /backup/usr/ I want to backup ONLY the /usr/home/*/Maildir directories. I don't want any other files from any other directories to be transferred. I can see in the man page where this is a problem: when using the --recursive (-r) option (which is implied by -a), every subcomponent of every path is visited from the top down, so include/ exclude patterns get applied recursively to each subcomponent's full name (e.g. to include /foo/bar/baz the subcomponents /foo and /foo/bar must not be excluded). It then gives an example of including the parent directories. Trouble is, I do not want any files in /usr/home/fred/ to be synced at all, only the files (and directories) in /usr/home/fred/Maildir/ Also, I don't necessarily know all the pathnames in /usr/home/; I don't want to have to build a manual include list every time I want to sync these folders. -- MY MOM IS NOT DATING JERRY SEINFELD Bart chalkboard Ep.

Restoring Backup user files with preserving UID/GID
