May 22, 2010Does the dump command back up entire file-systems or is it capable of backing up subsets of a file-system? And is tar capable of taking device names (for file systems) as input to be archived?

Feb 27, 2011I want to save a backup of my data on a remote server, but never want the backup server to see the data unencrypted. Editing a single file and backing up should not result in everything being encrypted and sent again. The remote server should preferably not even know the directory structure (and especially not the directory names).
View 2 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Three Stage Backup With Rsync?
Jul 13, 2010I've been trying to make a three stage backup with stage 0 being a full monthly back up, stage 1 being a weekly backup, and stage 2 being a daily backup. I've been trying very hard to use rsync for this but sorting files by date is proving to be problematic. Sometimes it seems to work from the command line directly, but the same command causes errors and warnings from a script while entirely failing to sort the correct files.
The common example I see for this involves commands like this:
Code:
rsync -Rav `find /home/ -ctime -7 -print` /path/to/home_backup The problem seems to be that since the user directories in /home contain files that have been altered within the time frame specified the whole directory is matched first which means that the whole directory is recursively archived as opposed to just the changed files.
I've also seen examples using the --files-from tag using the same find parameters and this one seems to ALMOST work but gives me strange warnings and fails to run at all when launched from a script.
Many of the things I've googled about using rsync to backup stuff by the date modified involves a rather snarky "You're missing the point of rsync!" to which I respond by yelling at my computer monitor followed by "JUST TELL ME WHAT I NEED TO KNOW!" I understand that rsync is meant to take care of incremental backups on it's own, that's why I want to use it specifically for a traditional 3 stage backup scheme.
General :: Backup Laptop With Rsync / Online Check
Dec 31, 2009I am writing my own anacron script that backs up my most important files from my laptop to my office pc regularly using rsync. However, sometimes my laptop is on when anacron starts the back-up job but my laptop is offline, so that it cannot rsync with my desktop. Is it possible to tell anacron to re-schedule the task to either the next time I'm online again or to some later date (preferably not the next scheduled time, but some time before)?

Debian :: Backup Server With Rsync And Ssh
Jan 18, 2016I switched last summer from Windows (used it since Windows 95) to Debian. I'm using Debian Jessie for a couple of months now and I'm getting used a little.
There are problems here and there, but I can solved them with some reading on the web. Not really a big problem...till now
I run Debian 8.2 om my PC (PC1). Bought an older PC (PC2) that I want to use as a backup server.
I'm using PC2 only for making backups, after the backup I switch it off again.
So I installed Debian 8.2 (net-install without DE and with SSH) on PC2 and tried to configure it to let it work as my backup location. Made a public SSH key and exported it to the root account (no problem) and to the user account (sensdeb), but there was an error "Access Denied"
Gave the user (sensdeb) sudo-rights via visudo file
# User privilege specification
root ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
sensdeb ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
I installed rsync.
The problem is that Rsync only works when I use the root account.
Code: Select allrsync -r -n -t -v --progress --delete -u -l -H -s /media/Data/Mp3/Anastacia root@192.168.1.102:/test/Mp3
When I try to sync with he normal user account sensdeb
Code: Select allrsync -r -n -t -v --progress --delete -u -l -H -s /media/Data/Mp3/Anastacia sensdeb@192.168.1.102:/test/Mp3
I get error's. Access Denied
I don know how to give the user sensdeb the rights so that I can use that account for my backup tasks. Now it's possible to sync with the root account, but that should not be the way to do it, I read many times.

Ubuntu :: Permissions With Rsync On Backup
Jun 18, 2010I'm trying to learn how rsync works to backup my system. I tried:
Code:
rsync -azvv /home /media/Elements
I get a folder called home on my external hard drive but when I use ls -l to see the permissions they are all wrong.
On my /home folder the permissions for /nathan are
drwxr-xr-x 48 nathan nathan
The permissions on the backup /nathan folder are
drwx------ 1 nathan nathan
I also tried using the long version of -a which is -rlptgoD and that didn't work either. What do the 48 and 1 mean when I used ls -l? When I look in the /nathan folder the permissions are all screwed up too. A lot of the files are backed up as executable and the permissions are all screwed up. I also ran it with sudo, and that didn't work either. The permissions were still screwed up and ownership is messed up too.
Ubuntu :: Rsync Backup Server
Jul 20, 2010This should be a quick one. I'm trying to backup a single directory and it's subdirectories on my Lucid Server to a freenas box across my network. This is what I'm using to do that rsync -r -a -v -z * --delete freenas: DSIBackups..It almost works perfectly except for one problem. When a file is deleted at the source, this command doesn't seem to delete it on the receiving end. I assumed that the --delete would do that but aparently not.

View 5 Replies View RelatedSecurity :: Backup Securely With Rsync?
Jul 11, 2010To copy from production to standby over the internet I use a cron job doing rsync -avze 'ssh -p 8022' --exclude-from= ....
My question is: should the cron job run on the production or the standby system. Root access to the remote system is given by a pass phrase-less ssh key. Currently I run rsync on the production system. I guess that it is more secure because the standby needs no ssh login to production. Running rsync on the standby would use less resources on production. I am concerned that in this case there would be pass phrase-less access from standby to production.

Aug 24, 2009I'm syncing a server over the internet with rsync, but it only works for a few hours before the backup fails with a "No route to host". I can restart the job and it'll will pick up where it left off, but is there an automated way to do this, or protect against a connection failure? I have about 170GB to copy over initially, but I can only get through about 4-5GB before the connection drops--manually restarting the sync everytime it drops will make the initial backup take days...
View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Use Rsync To Backup Home Directories To A Nas?
Apr 14, 2010I'm hoping somebody can find something here that I haven't. I'm trying to use rsync to backup home directories to a nas. First, I NFS mounted the nas and ran an rsync and everything worked out fine. the transfer completed after a few hours and everyting was transferred (lots of stuff!). I then decided that I don't want to leave the nas mounted all the time and I didn't want to automate mounting and unmounting of the nas as I didn't think I could produce a script that would work reliably enough. So I decided to start an rsync daemon on the nas and upgrade via that. I run the following command (results are included. the ^C is me killing it after it hangs).
Code:
ryan@server:/etc/backup$ sudo rsync -ax --stats --progress --delete /data root@192.168.0.98:backups1
root@192.168.0.98's password:
