Re: Slow rsync

I have had the same problem, but I was using the 2.4.8 kernel ( in a production environment ). I reverted back to 2.2.19, with no changes. I believe that the problem in my case was the 3COM drivers, 3c90x. I have now changed the driver to the 3C59x, which seems to work fine. Although the sympto

rsync copy speed.

Quick question(s) I am trying to improve the speed for an rsync backup. At the moment, we have workstations running windows 98 and I have a Linux 2.2.19 server who accesses the client disks using samba to take the backup. rsync is running in local mode, e.g. accesses directories only. Each client

Thanks for the replies, I'll test proposed methods, and I'll let you know how it went. ftp is also a very useful thing to try for the full backup Regards, Hans E. - Original Message - From: "Wayne Davison" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Andre Pang" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTE

Re: Using rsync for incremental backups and the logfile dilemma

I have a related question to this problem. We are doing backups from PC clients to a Linux server using rsync, and I would like change the full backup to incremental backups. However, the problem is that I may have used the wrong options , --destination-dir rather than -compare-dest option. Howe

Incremental backup - New Story

using both the --backup and the --backup-dir option, I am now able to take incremental backup of changed files. However, with a small problem. I have noticed that if the user creates new files ( like new documents ), the are added to the destination directory, and not to the backup directory. This

Re: Incremental backup - New Story

IT WORKS! Sorry for the shouting, but all my problems is now solved. Just to describe the setup; The backup consists of two scripts, one Linux based shell script, and on PC based Botch file. The PC script only sets up a share ( this is the windows 2000 client version ), and uses ssh to start the

Full backup without the full transfer.

I have successfully implemented a client server script where the control channel is set up using a combination of ssh and rsync with windows 98/2K botch files with Samba shares and UNIX side server scripts with rsync with a combination of full and incremental on a weekly basis. This works great,

Re: Rsync in smbclient?

If my understanding is correct, I use smbmount to achieve the same thing. in order to sync a client, I use smbmount on the server to mount the client ( windows / Linux ), then rsync. This is the winner in terms of transfer rates. The ideal case would be for rsync to speak SMB protocol directly, s
