Re: Another feature proposal and implementation plan: --strip-prefix

Wouldn't it be easier just to create a softlink on the cygwin machine so that you could access C: from /c ? Or for that matter, if these are easily-confused Windows users, just begin the Samba (or other SMB) share south of the cygwin/ on the rsync machine? Here's another feature I'd like to ha

Re: Feature proposal and implementation plan: --delete-delay

Just a note: I do something similar to what you describe, using a Perl script to invoke rsync with the --backup-dir= option. I back up system drives to a considerably larger archive volume using the backup-dir= option to shunt old versions of files (and deleted files) into hierarchies named after

Another feature proposal and implementation plan: --strip-prefix

Here's another feature I'd like to have: Suppose you're copying a source file /a/b/c/d/e/f/g/h/myfile and you want it stored on some other filesystem /backup, but you want the source path to be truncated so that the file actually ends up as: /backup/h/myfile. This comes up (in particular) when

Feature proposal and implementation plan: --delete-delay

Hi folks, One feature I've wanted in rsync is the ability to delete files that no longer exist in the source *after some specified grace period.* The functionality I'm looking for is a backup system that won't actually delete files until a week or two after the user does. This would: 1. Pro

rsync & openssh v3.8p1?

Hi All, I was wondering if there are any inter-operability issues, & if any is running, rsync on servers running solaris8 & solaris9 with openssh v3.8p1? Thanks in advance. -- Regards, John C. Remo Office: 1(516)390-5480 Mobile: 1(516)369-6698 -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.

rsync --link-dest issue on local fs

Here's the deal... I have a filesystem that I have populated by rsyncing from a filer (over NFS) using the --link-dest option to create incremental "snapshots" of the live data. This part is working fine... lots of links, much fewer blocks represented. Now it is time to migrate to a larger file

[[email posted back to list with servers and paths obfuscated]] I notice you aren't specifing a username on the remote machine, machine.local. When using SSH transport, I personally always recommend specifying the remote user account; for example [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/export/path/name/ if the rem

Re: source dependend path in rsyncd?

If there were an option to do that, it would be in the man page, don't you think? The solution is to write the modification yourself, or to take the reasonable path and use different module names for each host. If the issue is that you want to use a single script on multiple hosts, make modul

source dependend path in rsyncd?

Hi, can I make one rsync url available to several machines, but on the rsync server, direct that url to different directories? for example allow all hosts to access /foo but direct host a to /some/path/foo-a/, host b to /other/path/to/foo-b/ and so on? Thanks. Andreas -- To unsubscribe or cha
