General :: Exclude Rsync Excludes From Delete?

Jul 9, 2010

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?

Ubuntu :: Rsync --delete Doesn't Delete Superflous Files

Sep 25, 2010

I am trying to use an old box as backup server. I have tried a couple of possibilities along the lines of:

Quote:

rsync -a --delete --progress --log-file=/home/$USER/info.txt -e ssh /home /etc root@192.168.0.106:/mnt/back

The problem is it does not delete files that has been removed from my local system?
I run the command as root on the local system.

(I realize I should properly not ssh into the server as the server's root but I'm having trouble with the permissions and I want to make sure everything else works before messing around with it)

General :: Rsync - Cygwin On XP - Delete Flag Not Working

Aug 4, 2009

I installed cygwin with rsync on a Win XP Machine. My goal is to backup a folder from one hard drive to another (both on XP machine).

I run the following command from a batch file:

Works fine except the --delete flag is not working. Copies everything in source to destination, but doesn't delete some extra files that are present on the destination, but aren't on the source, which it's supposed to. I looked at the rsync man page, and I'm doing everything right... such as not using wildcard.

The same command works perfect on another computer (XP machine; source and dest both on XP machine).

Ubuntu :: Rsync Delete With Confirmation?

Feb 22, 2011

I want to synchronize sets of files (e.g. from or to flash memory). rsync is powerful, but --delete option is dangerous. Anyone know whether there's a way to do --delete interactively, i.e. get rsync or some near equivalent to ask (y/n, in a console window) before deleting?

Software :: Rsync Delete Not Working

Apr 6, 2011

I would like to use rsync to keep the hard drive in my media server synced with my video collection on my linux server. The media server I believe is running some version of linux running samba. I mount the media servers share to a folder on my linux server & use the following command: rsync -a -vv --delete /home/shared/Videos/* /mnt/WDLive/Shearer Files/Movies/

However, it does not delete files on the media server that I delete on the source. I also created a new folder on the source & moved some of the files into it. When I ran rsync again, it created the new folder on the media server, but it recopied all the files from the source again, instead of moving the files which were already on the media server into the new folder, so no I have 2 copies.

Ubuntu :: Rsync Deletes Files It Should Not Delete

May 4, 2011

I built a script that downloads my podcasts using Gpodder into the directory /HOME/SHARED/PODCASTS/ (with a subdirectory for each podcast)The script then selects the latest episode and copies it over to a target directory (it empies the target directory first and copies over everything) I want to use RSYNC to make sure the 'not so fresh' episodes get deleted and the "fresh" episodes get copied over. Then dropbox can sync the "new" files over to the cloud where i can access them via my ipad/iphone (whole other story).The thing is : i've replaced the cp command with the RSYNC command and now the script is acting strangely.

It selects and sync's over the "newest" podcasts to the destination directory. Then it suddenly DELETES all the episodes in the destination directory and copies over the three last files.

Ubuntu :: Sync Script - Delete Option In Rsync?

Jul 18, 2010

wrote a script to sync my netbook music with my server music and everything was fine.but if for some reason lets say i run it accidently and i'm not connected to my network, i just wiped my netbook music .here's what i got so far:

Code:
Sudo mkdir /media/ServerMusic/
mount -t cifs -o user=Justin,password=****** //192.168.1.108/Public-3/Music/ /media/ServerMusic/[code]....

i need to have the --delete option in rsync (say i sync it and realize i hate some music, when i delete it from the server i don't want it still on the netbook.i want an if statement in here somehow, but i'm not sure how to do it.something like, the first command in the script should be a ping test, if ping doesn't work end the script, if ping does work continue or if the server music gets mounted to the created directory continue, if the mount failed, or even in the mounted folder is empty stop the script

what can i do here to ensure i can keep the --delete and not have to worry about losing my music if the mount fails?

General :: How To Exclude Sub Directories From ZIP CLI

Jul 22, 2010

I'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.

Slackware :: Unable To Excludes.txt And Mirror-slackware-current.sh

Feb 1, 2011

I use Alien Bob's mirror-slackware-current.sh with an excludes.txt to only download the parts of current that I want. Unfortunately it is not working for part of the exclude.txt file and I am at a loss to know why.

The excludes.txt is

Quote:

slackware64/e
slackware64/f
slackware64/kdei/kde-l10n-ar-4.5.5-noarch-3.txt
slackware64/kdei/kde-l10n-ar-4.5.5-noarch-3.txz

[code]...

This ignores e/ f/ y/ testing/ pasture/ source/ and usb-and-pxe-installers/ It also ignores most of kdei/ and /extra It is meant to ignore most of extra/source and just download the source for flash-player-plugin, but it is ignoring all of extra/source/, however the same syntax is working for kdei/ and extra/.

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.
