Re: rsync copy speed.

Thanks for the replies, I'll test proposed methods, and I'll let you know how it went. ftp is also a very useful thing to try for the full backup Regards, Hans E. - Original Message - From: "Wayne Davison" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Andre Pang" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTE

rsync copy speed.

Quick question(s) I am trying to improve the speed for an rsync backup. At the moment, we have workstations running windows 98 and I have a Linux 2.2.19 server who accesses the client disks using samba to take the backup. rsync is running in local mode, e.g. accesses directories only. Each client

Re: Slow rsync

I have had the same problem, but I was using the 2.4.8 kernel ( in a production environment ). I reverted back to 2.2.19, with no changes. I believe that the problem in my case was the 3COM drivers, 3c90x. I have now changed the driver to the 3C59x, which seems to work fine. Although the sympto

Re: Rsync in smbclient?

If my understanding is correct, I use smbmount to achieve the same thing. in order to sync a client, I use smbmount on the server to mount the client ( windows / Linux ), then rsync. This is the winner in terms of transfer rates. The ideal case would be for rsync to speak SMB protocol directly, s

Full backup without the full transfer.

I have successfully implemented a client server script where the control channel is set up using a combination of ssh and rsync with windows 98/2K botch files with Samba shares and UNIX side server scripts with rsync with a combination of full and incremental on a weekly basis. This works great,

Re: Incremental backup - New Story

IT WORKS! Sorry for the shouting, but all my problems is now solved. Just to describe the setup; The backup consists of two scripts, one Linux based shell script, and on PC based Botch file. The PC script only sets up a share ( this is the windows 2000 client version ), and uses ssh to start the

Incremental backup - New Story

using both the --backup and the --backup-dir option, I am now able to take incremental backup of changed files. However, with a small problem. I have noticed that if the user creates new files ( like new documents ), the are added to the destination directory, and not to the backup directory. This

Re: Using rsync for incremental backups and the logfile dilemma

I have a related question to this problem. We are doing backups from PC clients to a Linux server using rsync, and I would like change the full backup to incremental backups. However, the problem is that I may have used the wrong options , --destination-dir rather than -compare-dest option. Howe
