I am
using rsync/rsnapshot on Windows XP (via cygwin) to backup to a mapped share (/u)
on a Linux server. I’m hoping to get this to work so that I don’t
have to open an XP share to the network for Linux “pull” backups. My
current setup doesn’t seem to give me incremental backups. See the “du”
output… $ /usr/bin/du
-csh /cygdrive/u/docs_bkup/daily.0/ /cygdrive/u/docs_bkup/daily.1/
/cygdrive/u/docs_bkup/daily.2/ 35M
/cygdrive/u/docs_bkup/daily.0/ 9.0M
/cygdrive/u/docs_bkup/daily.1/ 9.0M
/cygdrive/u/docs_bkup/daily.2/ 54M
total This
looks like some kind of incremental but there are two problems: 1.
I’ve not changed any files between rsyncs (so there shouldn’t even
be 9M. 2.
When I use the –i option, the files being copied are copied because of
permissions… .f...p...
/cygdrive/c/Documen…. (ok,
3 problems..) 3.
I can change a file on in the “daily.#” areas and none of the other
(supposedly linked) files get changed. Here
are the main points of my rsnapshot.conf: snapshot_root
/cygdrive/u/docs_bkup/ #cmd_cp
/usr/bin/cp cmd_rm
/usr/bin/rm cmd_rsync
/usr/bin/rsync interval
daily 3 # I’ve
tried several configurations…this is the current one… rsync_short_args -arltgoDvzi rsync_long_args --delete
--numeric-ids --relative --delete-excluded --modify-window=1 #If
tested this both ways… #
0-> seems to copy less and du reports less space. link_dest
1 #
just a test source – hard to see the destination, but it’s “.” backup
/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/Link/My Documents/My Music . Any ideas
or other things I can provide to help with this troubleshooting? Thanks, Link
