[ubuntu] rsync commands to sync localhost with EC2 instance

view story
linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – I'm setting up a batch of rsync scripts to sync my localhost /var/www to the equivalent server in an EC2 instance and I need to understand the finer points of the rsync syntax. I've first read man rsync As I understand rsync .. this following command copies "/var/www/" (with trailing slash) into destination EC2 (ubuntu) instance Code: rsync -avz /var/www/ -e  "ssh -i ~/.ec2/myprivatekey.pem" ubuntu@ec2-xx-xxx-xxx-xx.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com:/var/www Is it correct to leave off the trailing slash on destination? as in man rsync ... rsync -av /src/foo/ / (Hardware)

Hi all,

I'm trying to back up a remote server with RSync script:

Code: #!/bin/bash

## my own rsync-based snapshot-style backup procedure

# config vars

SRC="goupsmar@go-upsmart.com:~/public_html/" #dont forget trailing slash! SNAP="/media/Backups/UpSmart" OPTS="-e ssh -rltgoi --delay-updates --delete --chmod=a-w" MINCHANGES=20

# run this proce

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 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 rsync command as follows in a expect script

Code: spawn rsync -a -r -z -v -h -p -i --log-file=/path/rsync.log --progress --delete-excluded -e ssh user@ip:/source /destination My question is. When rsync has downloaded a file or folder, how can i get rsync to touch the file / folder with a date and timestamp for when the download was completed on the destination?

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.
