What Is The Rsync Flag To Ignore Permissions

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:

Rsync, Reliable "copy And Paste" Type Of Backup In Case Things Break?

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?

Rsync Operations Not Permitted

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.

Utilizing Rsync To Backup Data But Symbolic Links To Included

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

Cygwin Rsync Script Copying File Incorrectly

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

Dd Command For Backing Up Linux OS..am I Doing This Right?

hey guys, I understand how dd works. Ive been researching on it and I see that
if="" is the source of what I want to copy
of="" is that target that I want to send the back up to

so, what i am trying to do it copy my hard drive from saturn server: /dev/sda1 over SSH to my backup server skyline.

so [saturn harddrive /dev/sda1] -----backup---> [skyline:/backup/directory]

this is the command I am using
sudo ssh willc86@skyline "dd if=/dev/sda1 " | dd of=/backup/saturn.img

however, it is saying failed to open /dev/sda1/ : permission denied and I am runnign as root. any idea why?

thanks a bunch guys!

How To Select Newest "dated" Directory?

Hi,
I have a /backup directory which contains 5 days worth of backups:
2015-03-12_03-01-07
2015-03-11_03-01-07
2015-03-10_03-01-07
2015-03-09_03-01-07
2015-03-13_03-01-07

I need to copy the content of the NEWEST backup. Ideally, I'd like to find newest backup and assign it to a variable for later use.
I know I can Code:

ls -lt

to sort directories, but how do I pick the first one and store it into a variable?

Thanks,

Rsync Cronjob Question

hey guys, sorry for asking a dumb question, but some of the terminology online is not grasping me well, and still leaving me confused

in crontab -e

I have a shell script that contains

rsync /home/willc86 willc86@server02:/home/willc86/backup

the script works good by itself, however i have to put in a password which I understand. i know crontab works, because i used rsync script in the local machine. I am just having problems trying to sync it to another server

how do i get this rsync going in crontab to back it up to another server.

Bash String Substitution (rsync Exclude)

I'm preparing a rsync script to backup from one machine to another through ssh. For this I'm successful with the following:

IP=150.163.49.15
ORIGIN=/home
DESTINATION=samba

rsync -avzP --exclude={cristiano,marcelo} root@$IP:$ORIGIN $DESTINATION/

I would like to improve it, moving the exclude part to a variable also. I've unsuccessfully tried this:

IP=150.163.49.15
ORIGIN=/home
DESTINATION=samba
EXCLUDE={cristiano,marcelo}

rsync -avzP --exclude=$EXCLUDE root@$IP:$ORIGIN $DESTINATION/

What is wrong with the EXCLUDE syntax?
