I try to synchronize files between two machines using rsync, but it seems to copy all the files regardless file modification time. Two consecutive call of the command produces the same results, so it is clearly broken.
The command in question is:
rsync -r local/path user@host:/remote/path -v
The local file system is ext4 while the remote is ext3.
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.
use rsync to cp such files and dirs under /var/www/html/mydir directory
but these two files (/dir4/1.html /dir4/2.html) cant rsync to dest mechine.I still dont know why,,give me a hint?thx
rsync configure file,below...
[rsy_file_and_dir]
comment= rsync some files and some dir
path=/var/www/html/mydir
read only= no
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 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?
I'm trying to get rsync just to sync files that have changed and or been created since it's last run. This is an attempt to stop my NAS servers disks from spinning up every time rsync runs even when there is no file to copy across.
I'm assuming the easiest way to set the time of the last run is to touch a markerfile. That I can do.
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?
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 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.
