Remove Rsync Partially Transfered Files

What I did in windows was create images of my drive and restore them.

in linux I am running

Code:

rsync -aAXv --exclude={"/home/*","/dev/*","/proc/*","/sys/*","/tmp/*","/run/*","/mnt/*","/media/*","/lost+found"} /* /path/to/backup/folder

and this creates a folder for me with all my files, and apparently saves meta data like permissions and paths...

Since I'm using arch and things break sometimes,I'm booted into a CLI with errors and cannot figure my way out since I'm a noob... would I be able to just delete my entire root and replace it with the rsync backup without a problem?

hello guys, just want to ask I have files on the server running SUSE 11 and i rsync to My WD Cloud via NFS.

but i notice some it shows some error like "This operation is not permitted"

I had used rsync -av parameters.

But when I used rsync -rltuv parameters it seems to work fine.

Why rsync -av parameter is used there are errors even though I set on WD My Cloud shared folder as the permissions as 777?

Thanks for any input.

Please forgive me but I'm a little new to Red Hat (RHEL 5). I'm using rysnc to backup critical data and to a second disk; here is what I'm typing at the command line rsync -rvgal /data/disk1/share /data/backup/share. It appears that the softlinks are not transfered to the backup drive and some of the links point to data not located in the source folder (/data/share). After reading the rsync man page I was a little confused about the L option (vs the l option). In order to ensure that the linked files are moved should I type the below:

rsync -rvgaL /data/disk1/share /data/backup/share

A million thanks,
Johnny Mac

I am using Rsync to backup files to a another machine, the users on my fileserver do not exist on the backup server so Rsync throws errors about the permissions. It copies the files fine but I want to get rid of the errors and have Rsync ignore the permissions when backing up.

/backup is a mounted ftp directory

Below is the current command and output:
Code:

I tried the flag to adding the no flag to -p but it still didn't work, see below:

Hi all

I got two questions about rsync:

1. I am copying a huge dir with lots of files, how do I see the overall progress? I put in the progress flag but now it show the progress each individual files.

2. Is rsync slower than cp? I used CP to copy over a NFS mount and that took about an hour. I am using rsync to copy over the same mount over the same NFS and so far it has taken 10 minutes to copy 7G. I got over 150G of stuff.

I just used rsync -avh --progress ...

Thanks
Davy

Hi
I am trying to send lakh of small(JPG,PDF) files from one server to another. So am using rsync which helps differential copy, but when using it getting error as /usr/bin/rsync: Argument list too long.

Kindly help, other than rsync if any option is also there kindly update.

Thanks in advance

I am trying to write a simple test script that executes a single rsync call. Once I get the syntax right, the script will be expanded to incorporate several rsync instructions to save me time.

I'm using a Cygwin Terminal on Windows 7 to run Rsync.

The script is called "backup" and I call it from the cygwin terminal using "./backup". Have used chmod to make it executable.

When I execute the rsync instruction as a standalone instruction at terminal prompt, the file copies to the target folder perfectly.

However, when I try and drop the same instruction into a script, it copies the file over from it's original file name "mvi_1840.mov" to a file with the name "." -- literally a single period. I can rename the file to a .mov file and it works fine but naturally, I don't want to have to do this.

The one other thing I will mention is that the file is located in the /home/"username" directory in cygwin vs /bin. But I would not think that this would make a difference.

I have pasted the contents of the script file below:
Code:

#!/bin/bash
    rsync.exe -rltDvP --exclude "System Volume Information" --exclude
 "RECYCLER" --exclude=\$RECYCLE.BIN --delete "/cygdrive/c/users/<USERNAME>
/desktop/mvi_1840.mov" "/cygdrive/c/users/<USERNAME>/desktop/test/"

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Using package manager to remove configuration files while uninstalling a software is easy but how to find and remove configuration files of software that you install from external sources? suppose i compiled from source of installed an external package, how to find and remove those configuration files that these programs created?

Hi all,

I'm trying to identify files that do not have matches for certain strings. FYI, these are files of DNA sequences and I'm trying to find those that are NOT sampled for any species by my group of interest (e.g., genes that are specific to that group of organisms).

I tried this code but it's actually yielding a list of files that DO match for my regexp.
Code:

for FILENAME in *.fas
do
grep -q -L ">PBAH" $FILENAME && grep -q -L ">SKOW" $FILENAME && grep -q -L ">CGRA" $FILENAME && echo $FILENAME
done

Basically I want to somehow go through and file files that do not contain ">PBAH" ">SKOW" or ">CGRA". Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Best,
Kevin

Hello--can someone tell me how to RSYNC bteween two servers with IP addresses, username and passwords while removing the files at the senders end? Do I need to login as root on both servers? I appreciate your input.
