rsync out of memory in flist_expand

Hi, I have been using rsync for years to perform my backups, but since a few days it crashes with an "out of memory" error. I am running Ubuntu 11.04/x86_64, which ships rsync-3.0.8, and I have also tried with the git version. I can see the following messages: [generator] expand file_list pointe

Re: include/exclude

You can still use --filter: --filter=": my-rsync-filter" will include the file my-rsync-filter in the list of rules (and recursively at each directory level). This is very powerful and allows you to modify the filters without modifying the script which calls rsync. Christophe. On 16.01.200

sending the same source to several dests

Hello, I am using rsync to mirror a source tree towards several destinations. Currently, I start rsync as many times as I have destinations, is there a better way that would for instance need to scan the source tree only once? Thanks Christophe. -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://li

Re: protecting files from deletion, and using --delete-excluded

Matt, It seems that the problem is not really solved :-( If I understand correctly, I have to send the filter file to the receiver, so that it can be used for deletion phase, right? So I added --filter='+ /rsync-filter' to my options. That is, I start rsync -rltgoDuvR --delete-after --delete-

protecting files from deletion, and using --delete-excluded

Hi all, I am trying to write a script based on rsync to help users select what they want to mirror, what they want to skip and what they want to delete on the remote side. Let's say that I have 1 directory per release: r1.0 r1.1 r2.0 r2.1 r3.1 r3.2 r4.0 r4.1 At some point I have mirrored all

Re: deleting remote dirs I no longer want to backup

There are several solutions, and which one is right for you depends on how new your rsync version is. For instance, a way that works with any rsync version is to copy from an empty dir to get rsync to do a deletion: mkdir empty-directory rsync -av --delete --include=/dirb --exclude='*' emp

deleting remote dirs I no longer want to backup

Hi all, I have been using rsync to copy multiple dirs, eg: rsync -aR dira dirb /tmp Now, I no longer want to copy dirb, and I want it to be removed on the remote side, and I cannot figure how to achieve this. I tried: rsync -aR --exclude=dirb --exclude-deleted dira dirb /tmp but this has no
