remote logging non-daemon mode

Greetings all. Due to security concerns we are switching our backup processes from "SSH tunnel to rsync daemon" to "Running rsync over ssh in --server mode". In daemon mode we had a nice conglomerate log file of all of the backups that ran. Now that I am tweaking the scripts to run over --server

I wanted to start a new thread for this aspect instead of continuing my previous in case others have similar questions. I am running an rsync command that will have the --server option appended automagically by rsync. However I do notice that other default options go along with it. This is what

Nevermind. I figured it out after some trial and error. Basically I have my forced ssh command script intercepting the rsync call and setting the parameters myself. Thanks all of for your help. I still may have more questions but so far it is looking good! Doug On Dec 7, 2007 2:29 PM, Doug

Re: Rsync windows vista permissions problems

2008-01-30 Thread Doug Lochart
We have hit the same problem and what we found out was that Vista changed something and either rsync or cygwin can't determine the permissions and so nothing (or null) is sent across and this seems to cause the directory to be created this way. We have only seen this on Vista and have since backed

You are correct and I am out of the loop. Evidently the client developer used this approach to solve our Vista problem but I either forgot or was not informed. Probably the former =) On Jan 30, 2008 1:45 PM, Matt McCutchen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Wed, 2008-01-30 at 13:09 -0

We were trying to introduce a better client side log format so that we could get timestamps and module names etc.  In the rsync documentationit looks like you can use --log-format for the client ... there is even a sentence saying that this format would not interfere with the rsybc daemons format.
