BackUp with "inverse" increments

Hi, I'd like to mirror my root file system (e.g.) to a different disk. The mirror should always be most recent. In addition, I'd like to be able to restore my file system to the state of one or more backups before without storing full size snapshots. The --backup-dir option does most of the

Two problems: -u together with -c and and a symlink problem

the other hand, A is the name of a subdirectory of Now doing rsync -auHz --delete --exclude=/A / / does remove A on - why ? I'm using rsync-3.0.7 . Many thanks for a hint, Helmut. -- Helmut Jarausch Lehrstuhl fuer Numerische Mathematik RWTH - Aachen University D 52056 A

Re: [2.5.6] File table overflow

it was a permission problem. I've changed the /etc/rsyncd.conf file on the server and now it works just fine. Could error messages be written into a list --- holding only the first 10 different error messages ? This list could be written out at the end again. Many thanks, Helmut. -- Helmut

Re: [2.5.6] File table overflow

n the (remote) source directory, the error occurs on file later. So it looks like a limitation (buffer, list, etc) of rsync.

None

In other words >the transfer was not complete. Look for other error >messages before that one. Thanks, but how can I find these messages? The log file contains over 150,000 lines. Searching (indepent of case) for error or transfer doesn't find a line Helmut. -- Helmut Jarausch Lehrs

Non-standard usage of rsync

ackup option be told to record new/deleted files as well. In that case my aims can be achieved at (much) higher disk space. Thanks for any hints, Helmut Jarausch Lehrstuhl fuer Numerische Mathematik Institute of Technology, RWTH Aachen D 52056 Aachen, Germany
