Server :: SUA On Win2k3R2 Server Rsync Pull From Linux Host
Jun 10, 2011
Has anyone had any experience on using SUA(Services for UNIX Applications) rsync to "pull" files down to the Win2k3R2 server from a linux rsync host?I was trying to use cygwin rsync before until I found out from cygwin that the cygwin port of rsync was "flakey" and would fail intermittently for no apparent reason. cygwin suggested I use SUA or SFU for rsync services.
I've looked for/ am looking for any experience using SUA rsync to copy files down from a linux rsync host to the Windows host via rsync on the Windows host. Also, if you have done this successfully, do you have any pointers/caveats you can share on how you got it working? What I am basically looking to do is copy files and subdirectories of files from a linux host using rsync to some static location on a Windows server on a scheduled basis so that I can backup the windows server to tape using Symantec's Backup Exec application.
I'm doing it this way to avoid deploying the Remote Agents for either linux or Windows on the target hosts. As an alternative I've seen reference to a product called DeltaCopy that uses a native Windows rsync port with the native linux port of rsync to do what I need also.I realize this is not a strictly linux question, but more of a hybrid as I'm moving data to and from Windows and linux hosts. So, if this is too Windows-y a question, please say so and I'll withdraw my question.
I'm trying to rsync files and directories from a RedHat linux host(v 4.5 & 4.7) to a Windows server 2003R2 Standard Edition with cygwin running. I'm executing the rsync command from the cygwin shell. The transfer involves rsync'ing approximately 1 TB of data from the linux server to the windows server. After about 280+GB of data transfer, the transfer just dies.
There seems to be no particular file or directory that the transfer stops at. I'm able to rsync GB's of data from other linux hosts to this cygwin server with no problem. Files and directories rsync fine.The network infrastructure is essentially the same regardless of the server being rsync'ed in that it is GB Ethernet running through Cisco GB switches. There appear to be no glitches or hiccups across the network path.
I've asked the folks at rsync.samba.org if they know of any problems or issues. Their response has been neutral in that if the version of rsync that cygwin has ported is within standards then there is no rsync reason this problem should happen.I've asked the cygwin support site if they know of any issues and they have yet to reply. So, my question is whether the version of rsync that is ported to cygwin is standard. If so, is there any reason cygwin & rsync keep failing like this?
I've asked the local rsync on linux guru's and they can't see any reason this should fail from a linux perspective. Apparently I am our company cygwin knowledge base by default.
After hours of struggles I'm still not able to configure a simple backup from a Debian Jessie server to a Planet branded NAS.
Configuration is as follows: NAS user name: user pass: user12 share name: user. Inside that directory, there is bkp directory where stuff should go. bkp was created using Dolphin. The NAS offers smb service and is accessible through Dolphin file manager and from Windows stations.
Server also has a user named "user" and a password "1"..
Fstab looks like this: //192.168.2.3/user /mnt/NAS cifs username=user,password=user12,iocharset=utf8 0 0
The command is: Code: Select allrsync -ahv /home/user/Desktop/ /mnt/NAS/bkp/
Errors are: Code: Select allrsync: chgrp "/mnt/NAS/bkp/." failed: Operation not permitted (1) and Code: Select allrsync: mkstemp "/mnt/NAS/bkp/.teszt.YEmVM3" failed: Operation not permitted (1) where teszt is a file created by me and YEmVM3 seems to be randomly generated character string.
iam trying to sync file server data into backup server machine by command- rsync -avu path/of/data ipaddress-of-backup-server:/path/where/to/save after running it ask for root password and manually it is successful.but i want to make it automatic.for that i also tried cronjob and also generated authentication key but iam not successful in login automatically..anybody know how to authenticate root to login for storing data in backup server.
Many of mails sent from my mail server that are in Queue;The main reason is deffered by domains like yahoo,aol,etc.but there is one more error that i keep getting and that is Host Unknown,Below is an example from mail log,The catch is,test mail sent on the same email id sent from my personal mail from the same server i.e. url was deliveredHowever,another mail containing client information sent from customercare@mycompanysdomain ended up in queue.
There are more examples of the same,around 20 domain have the same problem.
Right now i have a HP DL 180 Server with 130 Gb Hard Disk & 8 Gb ram after Raiding0+1. i want to configure Domain Controller Server for my office for 200 to 300 Users. what should the partition size must be mentioned in my 130 Gb Hard Disk, is that going to be Sufficient for ME ?
i am bit confused about /Usr /Var /Boot partitions, as i need to manage perfectly in 130 GB
if i go with 4 Gb swap and remaining for " / " is that will be fine ? should i need to specify partition sizes separately for / tmp /var / usr ..
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'm using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS server and Postgresql 8.4. I have a .sh script that is run by cron every other hour. That works fine. The .sh script includes an rsync command that copies a postgresql dump .tar file to a remote archive location via ssh. That fails when run by cron; I think because it is (quietly) asking for the remote user's password (and not getting it). I set up the public/private ssh key arrangement. The script succeeds when run manually as the same user that the cron job uses, and does not ask for the password. I am able to ssh to the remote server from the source server (using the same username) and not get the password prompt (both directions), so why doesn't rsync work? I even put a .pgpass file in the root of that user's directory with that user's password, and the user/password are identical on both servers.
I think the problem is rsync is not able to use the ssh key correctly. I tried adding this to my script but it didn't help.
Code:
Here is the rsync command embedding in the .sh script.
I want to run rsync on server A to copy all files from Server B when they are newer than 7 days.(find . -mtime -7) I don't want to delete the files on Server B.
Recently our houses internet usage has skyrocketed and i'm trying to keep an eye on it using bandwidthd (installed on the server). It installed fine and counts traffic fine, the problem is we have a server that hosts our music/movies/etc and when people pull music off the server it skews their bandwidth usage. I'm looking for a way to exclude all traffic on the local network and only count internet traffic. This is the filtering part of the config file
i had installed open suse linux enterprise server 10.2 SP2 (x86_64) i successfully installed the operating system with adding more packages, but after going inside i cannot configure ethernet, though i have 2 ethernet ports, no ports has been found, i installed some drivers but i cannot found the ethernet , while giving command ifconfig i get this ,
lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1
[code]....
how i need to detect the ethernet card i updated more packages and configured network card but not connected...
I'm new to setting up Linux Servers. I've setup a Ubuntu 10.10 Server along with CUPS and I'm using Webmin to talk to the server. I have a HP PSC 1315 Multifunction printer connected via usb to the server. Using the CUPS web interface I am able to get the server to detect the connected printer and it identified the HP PSC 1310 Series drivers.
When I printer a test page from the server's screen the print job goes through ok and the size was about 5k.
I then setup a samba share to allow my Windows 7 machine to share the printer. Windows 7 is able to pick up the shared printer correctly and I used the default HP 1310 Series drivers. When I tried to send a test page to the printer, that single page ended up being 3887kb and I also tried printing out a single paged word document which ended up being over 7MB.
Just something that struck me while working on our virtual servers today.
I have bonded 3 NICs at the host in Ubuntu Server 8.04 LTS. They are using mode 0 for Round-robin. Point is to increase the speed/performance of all the servers, but mainly the fileserver. The fileserver is a virtual server running Ubuntu Server 8.04 LTS on VMware Server 2.0.
1) I noticed the NIC in the slave OS reported link speed as 1000 and Im unable to change it as the NIC (virtual one) doesnt support it. Does this not really matter, as the NIC doesnt exist, and it will run at higher speeds anyway? Or do I have to remove the bond on the host, bridge all 3 interfaces from the host to the slave OS, and then make a bond in the slave OS?
2) While at it, does mode 0 only increase performance on data being sent from the host or does it also increase the available incoming bandwidth?
I installed apache server on my Fedora 12. Its showing the test page 127.0.0.1, but when I give the address 97.168.234.76 (0r www.chaalu-kam.com), it tells that the requested url could not be retrieved.
I have made the following additions to the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file
Code:
In addition to this, I have added this to my /etc/hosts file
Code:
I wanted to test the Apache server on my laptop only by putting an html file in /var/www/html and naming it as index.html. I want this index.html page to be displayed when I put www.chaalu-kam.com in my browser. What should I do? My firewall is off too
We recently shifted our applcation and database to LINUX from UNIX.so now application server(weblogic 8.1) is on linux and oracle database 9i is on linux.previously there is a process in application server(which access the Database dor the data) which took only 1 hour to run on UNIX after shifting to LINUX the same process is taking 4 to 5 hours to run.
but when individually ran the queries on the database it is quck than UNIX.our ADMIN tried changing the kernel parameters for the database server, but it is still the same.
Bit of an odd one, this. I've migrated a website from my old server to a new machine. Both servers run Ubuntu + Apache2. Both only serve a single site, apart from the default site.I've flipped the domain name to the new IP address.The trouble is that after moving the virtual host config over into sites-available, with the necessary link in sites-enabled, Apache attempts to serve from the default web root (/var/www) rather than the actual site content (in /var/www/technology). So for example, an attempt to browse.
I am setting up a CentOS mirror on my company LAN for the 1st time ever. I am wondering what the do and don't are for this. Obviously I would need to open the TCP port for Rsync on my Firewall so that my rsync server can properly communicate with the external mirror but is there things I should do or know before I just blindly open TCP 873 on my network? I was moving the server to the DMZ interface and then point all my internal servers to my rsync server on the DMZ.
I attempted today to Rsync data from 'serverold' to 'servernew' and also delete data on 'servernew' that has been deleted / removed from 'serverold'. When I run the Rsync command I get the following error:
[Code]...
rsync warning: some files vanished before they could be transferred (code 24) at main.c(1042) [sender=3.0.7] why this is not working? Is my command syntax wrong or missing switches? I read the 'Man' page and gathered this would be the correct command but I could be wrong.
I have two servers. #1 is the main server and #2 is only used in case the first one is down. Both of them are in the same LAN. Both are debian Lenny configured the same way. For instance, if #1 has a problem, I simply disconnect it, set #1's IPs to #2 and I have my system ready. The only matter here is that there are plenty of files that need to be syncronized between #1 and #2. I thought that rsync was the answer to this problem I have.
I wanted to create a bash script that runs every day (with cron) and syncs the files I need (.conf, and other data). I used ssh-keygen to generate a pair of keys in order to login SSH without a password. The problem is that the permitRootLogin is set to yes in my sshd_config in both servers. So I can't log in directly as root by ssh. But I need to log in as root to be able to rsync the files between the servers because some of them are .conf files and aren't accesible for non-privilege users (Only root).
I 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.
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.
This 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.
I'm trying to set up my trusty Fedora box, with rsync over ssh to backup my windows machines at home and I need help configuring the rsync server (I'm using DeltaCopy as the rsync client on the windows side)I tried a few dry runs but it seems windows can't see the linux box, the rsync job just hangs for ever and never does anything.I should mention that ssh works fine.
How I use rsync to setup server from any existing server, that I want to create server from my existing one server where I have installed and tune everything, I want everything replecate on new server excluding network (IP) and /proc
My rsync takes backup of everything from the differenct linux servers to my backup device which is 2 TB only .Since it takes almost full backup of source , it consumes space lot in the backupdevice. So i wanted to keep all my backup files of one month old latest files in backup device, it should remove all files more than one month data.
Is there a way to limit the amount of data that goes in to an rysnc log. The problem I have is that I email myself the log file to make sure it went ok but sometime the log is hugeHere is what I am doing with rsyncrsync -azHK --delete-after /home/ /mnt/usbbackup/home/ >/backup-log/backup.txt
