Can rsync resume after being interrupted?

I'm using

rsync --delete -Rav remote:/path/to/maildir/cur /backup/

but I'm finding lots of files on remote that are not getting copied by rsync, while others are copied. Rsync does not throw any errors, it's like it just doesn't see some files.

I'm using rsync to copy some source code. The copied code must not be modified at the destination place, so I set --chmod=u-w flag to make it read-only after copying.

rsync --delete -a --chmod=u-w

First is working well.

Here is what I want to achieve:

Run Rsync to compare two directories recursively like this:

rsync -r /source /target

but don't actually rsync between the directories. I want the resulting differences to be rsyncd/copied to another 3. directory.

Any ideas?

I heard that rsync isn't the best one when creating the first backup in terms of performance. Instead it is the best for the later backups. So I wonder what are some better commands for creating the first backup, and what your usages for them are?

Hi,

I'm a newbe on this forum, and I have a question. I try to send a file to other server with solaris with rsync, but I have this error:

bash: rsync: command not found rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [sender] rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(359)

the command is rsync -ctvz --timeout=10 --bwlimit=100 export.tar.gz max@reposrv:

Hi all,

I'm new to the rsync world in hpux. Currently I have rsync going through the main public lan, but dude to traffic loads, I have been told that i need to use a dedicated rsync lan.

I currently have 4 spare nics and the plan was to use one of these for the rsync, but I can't figure out how to get the rsync process to use the spare nic.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I was using a script to perform rsync in sudo crontab. The script does a 2-way rsync (from serverA to serverB and reverse). the rsync uses ssh to connect between servers. After i reboot both the server machines, the rsync is not working in sudo crontab.

Iam using rsync tool to sync files from one linux server to other linux server, however it takes huge time to finish it.

I would like to run rsync without the need to enter a password.
