rsync

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:

I used rsync to copy a large number of files, but my OS (Ubuntu) restarted unexpectedly.

After reboot, I ran rsync again, but from the output on the terminal, I found that rsync still copied those already copied before. But I heard that rsync is able to find differences between source and destination, and therefore to just copy the differences.

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.

I have a mirroring system in place with rsync and it works well. However, moving a file causes it to be transferred again in its entirety.

Given what I know about the rsync algorithm's rolling checksum, wouldn't it be possible to:

tar all the source files rsync the tar

and only incur a block-size penalty for the change in file name, after which the checksum would resynchronise?

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

I'm looking for a cloud backup provider that uses rsync. I have used rsync.net for many years but their pricing model isn't keeping up with the rest of the market and I'm looking at several tens of gigabytes of storage.

I'm using rsync in my own C++ program by issueing the command system("rsync -rauzvq root@host:/folder");

I use this for keeping multiple systems in sync.

Now I have the problem that when a remote host shuts off and there it was still rsync-ing with my program, my program hangs for the period of the TCP timeout.

In my .ssh/config file I have the following:

Host xxx User yyy HostName zzzz ControlMaster auto ControlPath ~/.ssh/%r@%h:%p

This works great for multiplexing my ssh connections (i.e.

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.
