I'm trying to copy files from my local directory to a remote site using rsync.I want to include in the copy all the java files and exclude all the .svn directories, but I can't do it.
View 4 RepliesIs there a way to rsync only some of the .(hidden files)? I tried, but couldn't figure it out, and was wondering if this was possible. I want to back up some of my /home/joe/ directories as well as a few of the . files and directories, but not all.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to do a sync of the root home directory to a folder call backup and excluding some files.
This is wat i executed:
rsync -a /root/ --exclude-from '/root/rules.txt' /root/backup/
My rules.txt is as below:
- anaconda-ks.cfg
Somehow it doesnt read the rules.txt and it will always include the anaconda-ks.cfg file.
im using rsync to sync files across multiple machines.
using the following:
rsync -az -e "ssh -o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no"
--delete --delete-excluded --force --exclude=.git --exclude=.bundle
--exclude=tmp --exclude=log/* --exclude=*.log --exclude=*.pid
user@host:/path/to/src/ /var/build/dest
I want to exclude all log files from being transferred from the src to dest and delete all existing ones on the destination so im using --exclude=*.log with --delete-excluded which works great ...
but i want to keep a certain log file intact on the destination. I want a --exclude-from-delete option
Is this possible with rsync?

I use the Scale Windows (aka Window Picker) of Compiz. I'm not entirely happy about the behaviour and i'm not sure if / how i can customise it.
What i want is:that minimized windows also are represented among scaled / exposed windows for me to pick from.
that my panel and dock are still clickable when all my windows are scaled / exposed.
Is there any way i can include / exclude these windows from that effect?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to create backup/archive my Ubuntu 10.04 system files (so I can restore it in case my system get corrupted). More specifically, I'm trying to zip the important files in my root directory not including my home directory (which includes my documents which I backup separately/more frequently) to an external hard drive attached via USB (called 'My Book').Since File Roller didn't give me quite the level of control I was looking for, I created a script that I could execute to backup and archive regularly.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI don't know why --exclude doesn't work when I use tar command. Please see this code
Code:
mahmood@pc:~$ l a/
1.txt 2.txt 3.txt b/
mahmood@pc:~$ tar cvjf compressed.tar.bz2 --exclude=/home/mahmood/a/b/ a/
a/
a/2.txt
a/1.txt
a/3.txt
a/b/
mahmood@pc:~$
As you can see although I excluded b/ but tar command ignored that.
I tried to run one grep that excludes symlinks and pipe it into a second that searches for my pattern but I continue to get the recursive directory loop error. As a result (I think) my grep is incomplete as the search just loops between directories symlinked together.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to exclude multiple directories when using tar. I can do it for just one directory with exclude= directory.I can also do it for multiple directories by typing that code again and again.As you can see im trying to call this variable that has endless amounts of directories in it seperated by a space.. but when run it doesnt work! It will however work if i just put one directory in the variable. Any ideas?

When I run rsync --recursive --times --perms --links --delete --exclude-from='Documents/exclude.txt' ./ /media/myusb/

I have a tiny shell script to rsync files between two servers and remove the source files.
This script works fine, when it has been initiated manually or even when the rsync command is executed on the command line.
But the same script doesn't work, when I try to automate it through crontab.
I am using 'abc' user to execute this rsync, instead of root, as root login to servers are restricted in all of our servers, by us.
As I mentioned earlier, manual execution works like charm!
When this rsync.sh is initiated through crontab, it runs the first command(chown abc.abc ...) perfectly without any issues. But the second line is not at all executed, and there is no log entry i can find at /mnt/xyz/folder/rsync.log.
I just tried to sync files from one server to another. After the sync process, I found the files are bigger than original ones.
I looked up the web and found someone mentions the rsync daemon. So I have to run the daemon on one server before I run the rsync?
The command I used is rsync --partial --progress -r source destination
