I have a feeling that there is no answer to this issue but I'll try.I have an rsync server running. If I rename a folder, rsync will re-transfer all the files under that folder. Does anyone know if there's any automated way around this ?

If transfer all files under a directory by rsync, what is the order that rsync determines to transfer the files one by one?At first it looked like rsync transfers files in alphabetical order, but later I found rsync skipped some files in the first sweep through the alphabetic order, and then went back to transfer files that were skipped in the first time and this time still in alphabetic order.

I'm using Scientific Linux on a laptop, connecting to a debian server on my LAN via a basic BT HomeHub router. When starting a file transfer with ftp or rsync from the laptop my connection is dropped, every time, after a couple of seconds. I have to reset my network adaptor and restart my network manager (wicd in this case) in order to get network connectivity back. I had a very similar problem before - [URL]. On this occasion my workaround was to replace NetworkManager with yast. I am now using SL though so no yast available, and I am not using NetworkManager any more anyway.

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?

I wrote a script to wake up my windows machine and do an rsync backup of some of my files. I wanted to make this command a accessible through local bin so I made it executable. However the problem is that when I copies files is copies them with root permissions and i can edit or delete them. How can I set the files so they transfer with the proper permissions for my Ubuntu user?
Code:
#!/bin/bash
# Description: This script first wakes up the client machine and syncs the appropriate folders.
# Finally the script shuts down the client if it was off to begin with.
if [ "$(whoami)" != "root" ]; then
echo "Permission Denied"
exit 1
fi .....

I need to create a script that will compare the differences between two folders and then to copy only the updated and new files only to another directory. I know I need to use rsync here, I can write scripts so really it not how to create a script it is how do I accomplish the transfer of only new or changes files between two folders to a new file. Do I need to link these two folders first and then use the "--compare-dest" switch.

This is a recent problem, and I can't pinpoint any change/upgrade that would cause this. Rsync transfer from Client to Server:

total size is 144333466390 speedup is 11285.81
Pinging back and forth from each machine is fine. No Ifconfig errors Client, but Server has RX packet errors.

Having a bit of a issue with Debian Squeeze and transferring files to the Sony PSP..Hook up PSP to USB port and Debian mounts it..I go to drag a 125 meg mp4 to video folder..Copy windows takes about 10 seconds to transfer it..Exit USB mode and there is no video there. Go back into USB mode and look at video folder on the PSP memory stick and there is no video..It vanished. From another after copy progress closed I right clicked PSP and unmounted it..
It error-ed saying device was busy and could not unmount..Looking at light on PSP i see memory stick is still being written to..i wait for light to stop flashing..About a minute or so..Then am able to unmount it..Go to PSP video and theres the video ready to be watched. Debian isnt accurately showing the copy progress...Its showing complete when it isnt..I have to watch the light on PSP to know when it is truly finished.

When trying to transfer files from my server to my desktop, the files never get fully transfered. I have windows cmd running a ping to my server, and all is fine until i try to transfer files. Some will transfer fine, and then out of nowhere the server will stop replying. I then have to restart the server to gain access to it. A 2 GB file will transfer about halfway, and then the server will not be able to be pinged. I have static IP on the server and my desktop. Running XP x64 and Ubuntu server 32-bit 9.04. Tried using Samba and NFS Exports. I have both my desktop and server connected to the same gigabit switch, and then my switch connected to my router.

I have 2 different mounts. One points to a local windows share(NTFS ->Samba) and the other one points to a PPTP VPN connection sharing(I belive that is NTFS too). I use "cifs" scheme in my fstab to mount these. And I use my Debian box to copy between these 2 mounts. I have started using Rsync for that purpose, I think that it works fine for now. My main problem is that it looks like Rsync cannot figure out if the files are same or not in source and target folders when I use these mounts. Most of the time Rsync copies the same files and folders over and over again even though those files and folders are on the target.
I am wondering if there is a way to make this scheme work? Being on a Vpn connection(slow) a Windows box, Rsync could have save a lot of my time if it could have recognized the files and folders that are same on both ends

Thought I'd post it here because it's more server related than desktop... I have a script that does:
[Code]....
This is used to sync my local development snapshot with the live web server. There has to be a more compact way of doing this? Can I combine some of the rsyncs? Can I make the rsync set or keep the user and group affiliations? Can I exclude .* yet include .htaccess?

When I run rsync --recursive --times --perms --links --delete --exclude-from='Documents/exclude.txt' ./ /media/myusb/
where Documents/exclude.txt is
- /Downloads/
- /Desktop/books/
the files in those directories are still copied onto my USB.
And...
I used fetchmail to download all my gmail emails. When I run rsync -ar --exclude-from='/home/xtheunknown0/Documents/exclude.txt' ./ /media/myusb/ I get the first image at url.

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

I made a shell backup script that uses Rsync and I am trying to get rid of the password prompt because it will use a CRON to run. I have set my variable in my shell script at:
PASSWORD_FILE=rsync_password
And the password in that file only takes up 1 line.
However when I run (ignore $DESTINATION)
rsync -aRvz tmp $DESTINATION --password-file=$PASSWORD_FILE
It still gives me the prompt. How can I accomplish this? I cannot allow a prompt and I do not want to have to use keys.

I have an Ubuntu machine running NFS4 server and a plugapps (arch linux) machine connecting as the client. The plugbox is running an rsync job to backup the home directory from Ubuntu to a local USB HDD.
All of the files in the destination have owner nobody and group nobody.
Ubuntu /etc/exports:
Code:
/home 192.168.2.1/24(rw,sync,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash)
plugbox /etc/fstab
[Code].....
how I can mantain the file owners. I have the UID's and passwords sync'd between the two machines for both root and the user who's home dir is being backed up.

I'm using rsync for a backup-sript at the moment and want to keep all files. The files are always unique, so I want to rsync without delete any file on the destination.
I've tried with --no-delete and --max-delete=0 but nothing seens to work. Is there even a possibility to do so?

I am looking for a way to control the order in which files (or more specifically, certain subtrees) are updated for a very large rsync update done daily. There is a finite time frame and finite bandwidth to do these updates, and they usually do NOT complete. I want to control the order so that more important files are copied earlier.
What I have been doing is breaking up the rsync runs into a few steps where the first step is a very limited set of subtrees using --include and/or --exclude, and each step thereafter is increasing the amount, until the last step is the whole tree to be updated. This is not working because the time it takes to transfer the file list is large (varying from 10 minutes to 40 minutes depending on step). I really need to get this back down to doing a single rsync run to reduce that wasted time.
I cannot ultimately split things because there are a lot of hardlinks that need to be retained (or else the destination space and bandwidth would be exceeded).
I was looking at rsync's batch mode. My thought was if I could get a list of what needs to be updated, I could then sort that list and do just 1 more rsync run to do the updates in the order I want. But it turns out the batch mode file is in some cryptic binary format. I really have no idea if that could have worked.
The order selection is not simply based on the names in the top directory, so I cannot simply just list those in the preferred order on the command line (otherwise, yes, that would control the order). If I do list directory names from various depths, that list gets flattened into the destination directory, which would not work to replicate the whole tree exactly.

I am using rsync to backup data from a file server to a external device, the data is accessed from windows boxes via samba with their own usernames, user1, user2 etc... Rsync is failing to copy the file permissions when sending to the external device, I have tested sending to a ftp server and a usb hard drive and received the same error, see below:
Code:
root@Fileserver:~# rsync -avz --delete-after /shared/fileshare/ /backup/backup
building file list ... done

rsync: chown "/backup/backup/manager/cronman.txt" failed: Operation not permitted (1)

total size is 4593 speedup is 10.37
rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at main.c(977) [sender=2.6.9]
When I backup to a local directory the permissions are copied correctly.

I have setup ssh between a F15 box and a remote centOS box. I am using ssh -X, then nautilus/gnome-session to open a gui file browser/desktop environment of remote machine. But anything I want to copy from remote machine to local machine by gui, is showing 'path not found' error. CLI work just fine but is it possible to transfer files between remote and local machine by gui over ssh?
