General :: Sync Two Directories Using Rsync?

Dec 24, 2010

I try to sync two directories using rsync.

the source is on Linux, and the other is on windows.

So, I mount the directory on windows using the command mount -t cifs . in Linux system.

Then I execute rsync ....

Everything is OK, but rsync prints out

rsync: chown "/mnt/windows/A/." failed: Permission denied (13)
rsync: chown "/mnt/windows/A/readme.txt" failed: Permission denied (13)

I want to sync the directories without changing ownership.

General :: Consistent Sync Between Two Remote Directories

Aug 17, 2010

I wanted to create a consistent sync between two directories on two separate hosts. So when I write a file on one host, the file is automatically written on the next host. I don't have shared storage between each host.

General :: Need To Synchronize Local And Remote Directories In Real Time

May 18, 2010

I'd like to have a copy of a web site on my local drive. Then when I make changes to that copy, have those changes automatically updated on the site's server. Ideally I'd like to tell it to only do this for certain file types. Does anybody know of a way to do this with Linux?

General :: Setup Rsync To Backup A Remote Directory To Local Drive?

May 24, 2010

I'm trying to setup rsync to backup a remote directory to my local drive.

I cd to the directory that I want to pull the files to, then I enter:

rsync -vrtW account@remote.com:~/public_html

I enter the password then it starts running. I get all the files listed, but none of them actually transfer. What am I missing?

Ubuntu :: Sync Local Folders - Not Unison Or Rsync?

Apr 14, 2011

I need a program to run on Ubuntu that must be easily set up to do a series of different cloning operations at specific times between the USB drives on a single Ubunu pc, depending on the day of the week." So on Monday folder B is forced to match folder A, Tuesday C forced to equal D ... and on Sunday a whole bunch of these clonings happen. This must all run unattended (at 2am) and be robust with no "what do you want to do next messages" or having the whole thing give up if there is a problem with one file. Though I do need a log of success or failure. Windows programs that do this stuff are FolderClone and GoodSync. I looked at Unison and Rsync and one or two others, but none appeared set up to do what I need, or to be excessively complex / general. I don't need something that can sync two copies, or over internet ....

Software :: Rsync From Remote To Local?

Sep 22, 2010

I'm trying to rsync a folder(and all subfolders) down to a local directory, upon completion I'd like the remote folder to be deleted.

What I've come up with is

Code:
rsync -rvtW --remove-sent-files -e ssh user@example.com:/remote/folder /local/folder

What this is doing is simply wiping the remote files within folders(not the folders themselves) and not actually syncing anything down to my local folder(as in no files at all on my /local/folder)

General :: Use Reposync To Sync Up Local Repository With The Red Hat Network?

Oct 13, 2010

I am using RHEL5 and I did a createrepo -v --update /var/www/html/yum/base/5Server/x86_64/rhel-x86_64-server-5/getPackage/ and the output was

Scanning old repo data
Indexed 10031 base nodes
Killed

Now is that a error? I didn't press Ctrl-C or anything like that, it just finished that way. I have a local yum repository and I use reposync to sync up my local repository with the Red Hat network. Everytime I pull down the updates from Red Hat I used createrepo with no options but wanted to try the --update to see how much time it would save. Anyone have any ideas why it is it was "Killed"

General :: Why Doesn't Rsync Use Delta-transfer For Local Files?

Jan 17, 2011

I have a big iso image which is currently being downloaded by a torrent client with space-reservation turned on: that means, file size is not changing while some chunks in in (4 Mib) are constantly changing because of a download.

At 90% download I do the initial rsync to save time later:

$ rsync -Ph DVD.iso /media/another-hdd/
sending incremental file list
DVD.iso

[Code]....

Then, when the file's fully downloaded, I rsync again:

total size is 2.60G speedup is 1.00

Speedup=1 says delta-transfer was not used, although 90% of the file has not changed, target dir is on another FS and copying takes several minutes. Why doen't it try to speedup the transfer?! How can I force rsync to use delta-transfer?

General :: Rsync Files Recursively But Place In One Remote Directory?

Jan 29, 2011

i would like to find and backup all *.mp4 files from /Pictures and its sub-directories and move them to a single directory on a remote. I can find and move the files but I don't want the directory structure...just the files to be placed in the remote directory.

To find my files I use

rsync -r -a -v -e "ssh -l user" --delete --include '*/' --include '*.mp4' --exclude '*' /home/drew/Pictures/ remoteserver:/Users/drew/mp4

but this creates all the subdirectories

I also tried

find ~/Pictures -name "*.mp4" -exec rsync -r -a -v -e "ssh -l user" --delete {} remote:/Users/drew/mp4 ;

This works but takes forever

Ubuntu :: Using Rsync To Sync Within The LAN?

Jan 18, 2010

I want to use rsync to synchronize some folders on my LAN. I have this working with two scripts; one runs at the beginning of my work session and gets the latest directory tree from the server, and the other runs at the end of the session to put any local changes back on the server. My "get" script looks something like this:

Code:
rsync -avuzb --backup-dir=/home/user/rsync_backup_dir --delete my_server:/home/bak/common_data/ /home/user/data

This works well, and with the "b" option any file that has been deleted from the master directory tree on the server will be deleted from the local machine and moved to the local backup directory. This is a safety measure to prevent the loss of files through a mistake (on my part).

The problem is the "put" script:

Code:
rsync -avuzb --backup-dir=/home/user/rsync_backup_dir --delete /home/user/data/ my_server:/home/bak/common_data

I want to run both scripts from the local machine, but the "put" script will not save deleted files to a backup directory. I tried using a remote backup directory like "my_server:/home/user/rsync_backup_dir" but this did not work. Is there a way to backup files deleted from a remote server from an rsync script run locally?

Ubuntu :: Using Rsync To Sync Folders?

Nov 28, 2010

OK, here is the test code I am using: rsync -acrv /home/randy/Documents /media/USB2/testbackup. What should I put in the code so that when I delete something in the Documents folder, it will also be deleted in the testbackup folder when I perform a sync.

How can I have it so the code will check if USB2 is available, if it is, do the sync, if not, do nothing.

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?

Software :: Rsync-like Program To Sync Files Between Computers?

Apr 4, 2010

I'm looking for a way to sync directories between two computers, in a "two-way" fashion. Basically, I have a laptop and I have a desktop, and I want to keep a particular directory synced between the two machines. The easiest thing would be to have some kind of networked filesystem, but obviously this won't work because the laptop may or may not be connected to the internet at any moment. At any time I might be editing files on the desktop or on the laptop, and when the laptop is connected to the internet, I'd like all files on both machines to be synced to their most recent versions.

I thought I could do this with rsync but now that I've looked into a bit more it seems like it works only for "one-way" syncing. In other words files are synced from a server to a client or vice versa, but not both at once. First of all, am I right about that? And second, is there a program that will do what I want to do? OK, I guess you could do it with some SVN kind of thing but that seems like overkill. I guess if there's nothing out there it shouldn't be too hard to write a script myself to do it.

Ubuntu :: Use Rsync To Backup Home Directories To A Nas?

Apr 14, 2010

I'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:
sending incremental file list
data/home/user/Documents/
data/home/user/Documents/The File.wmv

[Code]...

Ubuntu :: Rsync Creating Wrong Permissions For Directories?

May 1, 2010

I try to use rsync for backing up some directories and I have to following problem: some files have permissions that prevent me from running rsync under my own user id. So I run it under root using the option "-a" which according to the man page should preserve the permissions, owner and group information:

However, when I run this under root, the directories created in the backup location get user root and group root while ordinary files keep the original user and group. What am I missing here? How can I get rsync to preserve the user and groups for all files, including directories?

Here is a command to illustrate my problem
Code:
sudo rsync -a /home/youruser /tmp

If you try that and terminate with Ctrl-C after a few seconds, there will be a directory /tmp/youruser where the directories contained within are owned by root group root.

Ubuntu :: Sync Directories Between Desk And Laptop Both Within And Outside Of Home Network

May 26, 2011

I want to sync several directories between my laptop and desktop both at home and away from home. It seems like the tool to use for this is unison (I use rysnc for backups, but union seemed, better for this sort of thing - let me know if I'm wrong).

I found several posts that appear promising, however I was little confused about the details as I don't have much networking experience up to this point.

[URL]

1) Is a reverse ssh connection the way to go? If I only wanted to do this on my home network I could just use ssh right, however in order to get around the router outside my home network the reverse ssh is necessary?

2) How do I handle changing IP address of my laptop?
