Hello ladies & gentlemen,
Which combination of options/output redirection permits to display the
progress (--progress) at the standard output and ONLY (no file listing) the
stats (--stats) in a log file? If the stats are also displayed at the
standard output, it's ok
Thank you.
ps: rsync 3.0.2
Ok, I think I got my answer...
The errors were due to the fact that i was doing a dry-run... So some
hardlinks couldnt be recreated..because the file didnt exist on the target
system or something like that... that's just my guess...
Without the dry-run option, no errors were encountered
So
for backup:
rsync -aH --stats --link-dest=/home/backup/lastbackup/folder1
/mnt/device/folder1 /home/backup/device/currentbackup
for recovery
rsync -aH --stats --delete /home/backup/device/currentbackup/folder1/
/mnt/device/folder1/
/mnt/device/folder1 is the nfs mountpoint
backup creates folder1
Here is the --stats output for both with and without --hard-links option:
Without -H option (hard links treated as independent files):
Number of files: 51531
Number of files transferred: 5884
Total file size: 5610758604 bytes
Total transferred file size: 602614412 bytes
Literal data: 0 bytes

okay, here is an update:
I tried removing the -H option on the recovery part and I dont get the error
anymore...
so the files it was complaining about were all hard links... but I still
don't get it. Am i recovering to the exact same image as when the backup was
taken? For now, all my tries were
Well, the title says it all..
I tried to research on this subject, but didn't find anything conclusive to
me.
Can somebody explain that error? If the file on destination isnt there, why
not just copy it from source, why an error?
I did a backup with rsync -aH --linkdest="/path/to/linkdir"
/path
