Re: Rysnc Schedule
About 4 hours after my reply I had a functional rsnapshot install - what took me so long (besides having 'real' work to do ;) was trying to figure out how to split up my vpopmail/domains directories so the rsync wouldn't take so long (because of so many files/directories). I ended up using the 'include_conf' directive, and dynamically creating a file with just backup points. It seems like a great solution, and was easy to install and setup. Thanks!

Please don't take any offense at my offering a little extra support in case you were a user who needed it. So this can backup for 30 days and once 30 days comes up, it will delete the 1st day and add the 31st? Yes. Just set a backup interval of "daily" with 30 snapshots in the configuration file. If you like, you can also add other intervals, e.g., weekly snapshots for the past 10 weeks.

Oh of course - that's what I get for copying an existing cronjob and not
thinking it through.

I very well may use rsnapshot - I've been putting off trying to do a
rotation like that on my own, it looks like a great solution.

Anything older than 30 days gets deleted from /var/backup/

Rsync / Cygwin : Cannot Allocate Memory
Hi, I'm running the latest cygwin, with rsync 2.6.6 protocol 26. My command is: c:\cygwin\bin\rsync -vrtz --delete /cygdrive/e [EMAIL PROTECTED] etc I get the following error when trying to rsync 500,000 files: rsync: fork failed in do_recv: Cannot allocate memory (12) rsync error: error in IPC code (code 14) at main.c(550) rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (4 bytes received so far) [sender] rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at /home/lapo/packaging/tmp/rsync-2.6.6/io.c(434) Of course, this doesn't happen with a smaller fileset. I'd prefer to not have to break up the transfer, as the programmers tend to just create directories wherever they please and don't tell me when they do, then complain that their stuff isn't backed up (been there). But I'm kinda lost - I found a post that says each file uses 100 bytes, the reference poster was trying to archive 5,000,000 files - which is far more than I am. According to that post, my memory requirements would only be 50,000,000 bytes. 50MB. Even if that doubled since the post, it'd still only be 100MB. The odd thing is, It WAS working with rsync 2.5.1-dev (from an rsync_minimal archive I found on the web) - except that one was crashing on a 2GB file (damn outlook pst files), but I was getting past the filelist part. I tried upping the memory for cygwin, because the new version has a limit of 384MB, and I thought MAYBE the dll I grabbed had no limit - but upping to 1024MB didn't work. This is on a Win2k box. Any suggestions? Thanks Rick -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
