Software :: Run Rsync To Download Files From A Server Without Rsync Daemon?

Sep 18, 2009

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

Server :: Rsync Execution - With Crontab - Have Given Full Path To Rsync Too

Apr 12, 2011

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.

Server :: Rsync Fails In Cron - Ssh Key - For Rsync?

Dec 8, 2010

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.

Here is the cron entry:

Server :: Rsync Files Between Web Servers?

May 20, 2010

I've 15 web servers (in private network) running RHEL, Apache. Needs to sync web files between them. each server is accessible to each other via public key (with passphares).

1) Main server is web1 (where dev upload files initially). So I can make all other servers accessible by web1 without password/passphares and run rsync periodically to update files between them. But security is an issue here as all servers will become easily accessible.

2) Run rsync daemon in all other servers (except web1) on designated port and run rsync command from web1 to sync files. This will do the work but running daemon in all servers might increase overhead and making sure that daemon is running all the time etc. are my concern for this implementation.

Ubuntu Servers :: Advanced Rsync - Make The Rsync Set Or Keep The User And Group Affiliations?

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/

the files in those directories are still copied onto my USB.

And...

Server :: Rsync Files And Directories From A RedHat Host To A Windows Server 2003R2?

Jun 9, 2011

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.

Server :: Rsync "skipping Non-regular Files" With Archive Option?

Apr 29, 2010

According to the man page, rsync should copy "special" and "device" files if the corresponding options are set. Also the man page says that the -a option (--archive) includes the -D option, which is "same as --devices and --specials". BUT We use the -a option, and still get the following in our report:

skipping non-regular file "pristine/dev/full"
skipping non-regular file "pristine/dev/null"
skipping non-regular file "pristine/dev/ptmx"

[code]....

Is this the expected behavior? (BTW this is copying a non-running linux-vserver called 'pristine')

Fedora :: Rsync Not Copying All Files?

Sep 9, 2011

My Source folder contains 424.8 GB in 502,474 files. My Destination folder was created fresh, and after the copy contains 394.0 GB in 486.514 files. I am running it as grsync with root authority. The only options are to preserve time, permissions, owner and group., and to produce a verose output and transfer progress. There are no exceptions specified to skip any files.

The rsync command is this:

rsync -r -t -p -o -g -v --progress -c -l -H -D -s /mnt/Backups/monthly.3/ /mnt/EX-Fantom/monthly.3/

I have run it again to give it a chance to get it right. Same result. The source is in an rsnapshot folder, but this is the first backup, the original, containing only whole files, not links.

General :: Rsync Would Keep Sending The Files Over And Over Again?

Mar 2, 2010

I'm trying to using rsync to backup some files, about half a TB. It's now it a state where it keeps sending the same files everytime it runs. for example:

rsync -av /data/source/* user@host:/data/dest
sending incremental file list
source/file1.txt
source/file2.txt

I then verify those files are copied over. then the next time it runs it does the same thing

rsync -av /data/source/* user@host:/data/dest
sending incremental file list
source/file1.txt
source/file2.txt

any idea why it's getting stuck on these files? I've tried to wipe the whole dest directory out and start over but no luck.

Ubuntu :: Rsync Wants To Recopy All My Files On Next Run / Why Is So?

Mar 15, 2010

So I just used rsync to backup about 400gb of data to my NAS. Look just over a day to complete, which is what I figured. I decided I should run rsync again to see how its going to handle comparing and only adding new files to the remote location. So I added a few new files and then ran the backup again. Well rsync is trying to do a complete copy of all of my original data, even though they have not changed.

Is there a way that I can tell rsync to compare the two directories and only add the new files and delete the ones that are no longer in the original location?

Here is command that I am running:

Code:
sudo rsync -azvv --progress --stats /media/sda1/multimedia/movies /home/codeblue/NAS_Share_Point

Ubuntu :: 5,149,552 Files In 30.2 GB And RSYNC Out Of Space?

Jun 9, 2011

I am running Ubuntu 10.04. I am transferring roughly 62 GB of data libraries to my 84 GB /home partition. I'm using rsync because scp kept stalling, and I had to restart it over and over. Things were going great until recently when it began to show an error: "failed: No space left on device (28)" These are the things I've done so far: Used the GUI to find out how much I have copied so far: 5,149,552 which take up 30.2 GB. df -h, it tells me that my /home partition is 56% used, and that I have 33 GB available. (42 GB used out of 78 GB with 33 GB available) Also, none of my other partitions are anywhere near 100%. the /home partition is the most-used and it's only a little over half-full. du -s in the directory where I'm copying all of this: it also returned 42206500. Additionally, when I try to save screen captures, it sometimes fails with a "device full" error. What's going on? Am I really out of space? Why doesn't it show me that I'm out of space?

Is there a hidden temp file that rsync uses that just got too full? I did a little research on wikipedia and it said that ext4 has a 64,000 directory limit. Could it be that I somehow broke that limit with all of these files? Solution: not enough inodes for the vast amount of subdirectories on hard drive. This wasn't an RSYNC problem, rather, a partition configuration issue. To check inode usage: df -i If you want to add any inodes, you will need to backup your partition and format it using mke2fs (man mke2fs). Be sure to change the respective inode setting.

OpenSUSE :: Rsync Copying All Files Instead Of Just What's Changed

Jan 11, 2011

During my backups I'm finding that rsync is copying all files, instead of just what's changed.

I'm rsyncing between 2 USB external hard drives. One hard drive is FAT32 and one is NTFS. I've examined some of the files and believe that the difference is that there's a 1-second modtime difference developing in some of the files somehow.

Here's an example. These duplicity files were synced from /media/BACKUPHD (the NTFS drive) to /media/VIDEOHD (the FAT32 drive) only a few hours ago this morning. They have not been touched or changed since then, but that 1-second difference in their time stamps has appeared:

Code:
tim@localhost:~> stat /media/BACKUPHD/backups/duplicity/duplicity-full.20110107T145955Z.vol10.difftar.gpg File: `/media/BACKUPHD/backups/duplicity/duplicity-full.20110107T145955Z.vol10.difftar.gpg'

Ubuntu :: Rsync Really Slow On Large Files?

Mar 1, 2010

I have Ubuntu on both my laptop and desktop machines, both are connected to the same network. I back up the laptop to the desktop by running the following on the laptop:

rsync -avv --stats /home/alisdt alisdt@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/home/alisdt/laptop_backup (with the IP address of the desktop instead of the many x, obviously). Whenever rsync hits a large file (greater than a few MB), the network use rapidly drops to ~60KB/s (that's kilobytes not bits). When I copy the same file to the same place using scp, I get > 500KB/s throughout the transfer. Things I've tried:

* mounting the desktop home dir on the laptop using SSHFS -- a simple file copy is fast, rsync is still slow
* ditto with NFS
* rsync --whole-file option, in case the delta-transfer algorithm was choking on large files
* rsync --inplace option
* HPN-SSH (http://www.psc.edu/networking/projects/hpn-ssh/) to enable dynamic window and unencrypted bulk transfer, just in case it was some ssh bottleneck I think it's either an rsync application problem, or a network problem that is only affecting rsync. Any ideas, or other ideas of what I can try to debug? In case it's relevant, I'm using 9.04 on both machines. (A standing bug prevents me from upgrading the laptop, and I haven't bothered to upgrade the desktop).

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.
