I'm trying to use rsync to backup MySQL data. The tables use the MyISAM storage engine. My expectation was that after the first rsync, subsequent rsyncs would be very fast. It turns out, if the table data was changed at all, the operation slows way down. I did an experiment with a 989 MB MYD file containing real data: Test 1 - recop...
Hey all, I'm looking for a way to map the :w command so that when I use it, it will rsync the current directory and save the file in question. Ideally, the response generated by the rsync command should be returned in vim, but not in the the current file, but rather as a tooltip or something. I managed to achieve this in TextMate and a...
We're currently using rsync to run a backup job. This job takes several hours. As there are some parts of the backup that are more important than others, we would like to ensure that they are backed up before everything else (i.e. that rsync transfers those files first). This should be easily accomplished using rsync --files-from. Un...

The files generated look something like: a.bak b.bak c.bak So we sync those across and get exactly the same structure on the off-site machine. Then the backup program runs again and we ...

Consider two directories: /home/user/music/flac /media/MUSIC/flac I would like the second directory (destination; a USB drive) to contain the same files and structure as the first directory (master). There are 3600+ files (59G in total). Every file is scanned using unison, which is painfully slow. I would rather it compare based on f...

Using rsync, how can I rename files when copying with the --files-from argument? I have about 190,000 files, each of which need to be renamed when copying from source to destination. I plan to have the list of files in a text file to pass to the --files-from argument. ...
Hi there, We have a cluster of 4 web servers which contain a few domains, one of which contains quite a lot of videos. We also have a 'staging' server which we usually sync/upload files to and then from there rsync them all out via a bash script to the other web servers. The problem we have is that quite a bit of this is manual. If in ...

I will also like to know if the 5 minute crontab entry for this will work. ...
This question probably is based on my lack of understanding of the role of .gits and git repositories in general but: Can I rsync a dir with content that I created with git init between machines ? I have a repository on my laptop, and the only way to get it away from there is scp/rsync to a remote host, from which I can download it aga...

When I run my deploy script, the files are moved over to my integration Apache server. I perform my modifications to the files, then manually have been copying them back to SVN...
I'm trying to understand how the rsync algorithm works with respect to rolling checksums and blocks that match in a staggered fashion. The wikipedia page seems to suggest that the sender and receiver both calculate and exchange rolling checksums for all possible blocks. But that would mean sending essentially one checksum per byte! I mu...
Hi All, I need to backup (for debugging) some temporary files meanwhile a program running. I used to do it with rsync-ing the /var/tmp/someprogram directory with find . -iname 'blahblah' -exec rsync -someoptions $DESTdir, which works wonderful. Except the case of someone in some program (for which I don't have source code access, and n...
