Rsync only cares about the modification time. The ls command usually
abbreviates the timestamp so it is better to use the stat command on one
of the problem files to see the full thing.

Cool Thanks!
Specifically, the timestamps on both and match for "ls -l"
but do not match for "ls -lu" or "ls -lc”
The storage is just an regular HDD in a mac pro tower. I can’t imagine why
it wouldn’t handle timestamps. Also of note - this problem doesn’t exist
for every file, just the vast maj
The man page has a section on what all the itemize-changes flags do.
There is a --ignore-times but the result is what you have now, re-copy
everything even if the timestamp matches.
The best you can really do with storage that can't handle timestamps is
to use --update. But if you do that you ne
OK. Thanks. Where can I find information regarding how to interpret
—itemize-changes?
The timestamps aren’t changing, so the target must not be storing them,
which I have no idea why. The directory I’m writing to is 777.
What is the flag to tell rsync to ignore the timestamps?
Thanks,

It is saying the timestamp is wrong and that it is copying the file and
changing the timestamp. If it does that every time then either the
timestamps are changing on the source or the target isn't storing them.

Hi,
At my work we use rsync to move files between drives and to LTO among other
things.
I'm having an issue using rsync to move material between and external drive and
an internal drive.
We run "rsync -avvPh " and most of the files keep writing every
time I run this. It appears that the modi
Instead of the second -v (or even the first) add --itemize-changes. It
will tell you why each file is being copied. If the file timestamps are
not correct then perhaps the underlying storage doesn't allow arbitrary
mtime changes.

I am using rsync with --files-from option with a file named 'rsync.in' that
contains 37K+ directories that are queried from a database. One of the
directories looked like this:
/home/usr/directory/./
I know the directory should NOT end with a './' but this was stored in the
database that way b

Assuming you have control of the server, can you do a bit of semaphore ?
Eg, do your backup with rsync, then when it's complet

Short answer - no I don't think there is.
My feeling is that rsync (at least, rsync on it's own) isn't the right tool for
the job.
One think I would comment on though is that, IMO, making backup policies under

Try having a look at this, for inspiration.
It does require the capability of hard-links on the remote end though...
and it does not resolve your "delete target directory" either, but it
might save you some fiddeling around :-)

Hi
I'm trying to build a backup system based on rsync. It should
work with different destinations (local, share, remote etc) that's
why I'm looking for ways how every operation can be controlled
from the client side.
I want to create full backups and incremental backups. For the
