linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – Newbie running 12.04 and running gadminrsync for backup. I have some troubles with my pc not shutting down/taking a long time. I have a script in etc/init.d that runs rsync. This script/gadminrsync has been running brilliantly for a number of years. I have been running gadmin just my home folder onto a 2nd backup HD that I delete each time I do a (testing) manual run. At the begining of my Gadminrsync Backup Progress tab I get: Backup operation starting, please wait... sending rsync: readlink_stat("/home/dad/.gvfs") failed: Permission denied (13) incremental file list dad/ (Hardware)

I'm trying to setup a backup script on Ubuntu. Every day I want to copy my local source directory to a backup directory on a remote server uniquely named with the date. (e.g., backup-jan1/, backup-jan2/, etc) It should store a mirror of the earliest state and use difference files to recreate the new backup points.

This is pretty simple with rsync.

I have a sample NAS server (QNAP TS-210), with very limited Linux on-board (although a bit reinforced with Optware/IPKG). I'm a Linux newbie. After digging through Internet I was able to write my own backup script, using rsync for syncing files between NAS hard drive and external USB drives, and with CRON for running this script periodically.

Everything was fine until few days before.

Hi all,

I want to use rsync to copy my local Pitures to my NAS.

The NAS is a QNAP and the destination is mounted via NFS.

Code: rsync -r -t -v --progress --delete -l -D --partial -b -i -s --backup-dir=/home/seb/.chk_deleted_pictures/ /home/seb/Pictures/ /nas/pictures It all goes well but I receive plenty of

I have been using Grsync to backup my home folder. Since adding another user (family) Grsync now throws up a bunch of errors for that other user like:

Code: rsync: opendir "/home/family/.cache" failed: Permission denied (13) Sure enough, I don't have permission to access all the files concerned.

I don't want to get used to living with Grsync error messages, so I suppose I coul

I want to use rsync to move my 512GB Mac OS X TimeMachine backup from one USB disk to another.

I'm trying running rsync -aPEv source destination to do so.

Local Backup

Code: sudo rsync -azvv /home/path/folder1/ /home/path/folder2 Backup Over Network

Code: sudo rsync --dry-run --delete -azvv -e ssh /home/path/folder1/ remoteuser@remotehost.remotedomain:/home/path/folder2 ^^^ This is quoted from: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/rsync

I know sudo isn't needed for a local backup but I don't know about "backup over network".

I am having an issue with Backintime version 1.0.8-1.

I'd like to do a nightly backup of some things I'm working on and push them to my home server from a friend's VPS. Incremental would be nice because he's great at fucking things up.I've never used rsync and scp will take way too long to do every night, so I'd like an automatic back up nightly and I'd like to store only 3-7 days.
