Hi all,
I'm shifting a directory (containing my mail store) from one server to
another.
I'd like to keep all my history together, though.
Does it make sense, and would it work, to "cp -al" the entire tree of my
existing mailserver to the new one, before doing the first backup of the
new one? Hop
Apologies for replying to myself ...

Hi all,
Not sure if this is still active.
Many thanks to all involved in past, current future maintenance of this
list and other resources.
Is there a new list being prepared? Will we all be automatically
subscribed, or will we see an announcement here for where to find it?
Or will this one cont
Hi,
I want (in this case) to split out a subdirectory from an existing
backup, for future use. Is there a way I can do my --init referencing a
specific directory, in this case a subdirectory of an existing image?
More generally, it would be nice to be able to use an existing local
tree, generated
Hi all,
I have a couple of dirvish servers which are local to the machine
they're backing up, for convenience. I'd like to replicate those backups
offsite. Does it sound reasonable, efficient etc to simply rsync with -H
(to preserve hardlinks) the entire vault to another machine?

Hi all,
I'm writing a wrapper script to use as an ssh forced command.
It would be useful to understand the options used in the "rsync --server
--sender" command executed on the remote - but the man page doesn't
cover them.
Anyone know where to find such documentation?
Cheers,
Richard

the file list and duplicates. And
it's nice keeping them on different filesystems on the backup server,
because then I can use df to keep track of the size, which is much, much
faster than du which I'd need for partial filesystems.

Hi all,
Is there a bug tracker somewhere for dirvish? A source (git etc) repo?
Regardless:
If you run dirvish with a trailing slash on the vault name - for example
if you used tab completion to find it - it works fine, with one caveat.
It will include the trailing slash in the summary file for th
