Hi,
I can't figure out how to backup a tree with symlinks. I either get
errors like
rsync: open(rc2.d/S20inetd) failed!!: No such file or directory (2)
or (with --safe-link on the client and "munge symlinks = yes" on the
server):
ignoring unsafe symlink "/etc/rc2.d/S20inetd" (in backups) ->
"/rsyncd-munged/../init.d/inetd"
What I am trying to do is copy these symlinks as they are, regardless of
where they point to.
On the client (rsync v. 2.6.9 on a Debian Etch server), I run:
rsync -azx -v /etc/ rs...@192.168.1.251::backups/etc/
The rsync daemon is rsync v. 3.0.4 on a Synology Disk Station, with the
following rsyncd.conf:
use chroot = no
[backups]
path = /volume1/backups
uid = root
gid = root
read only = no
auth users = root,rsync
Thanks for any help...
Mi
