I want to have rsnapshot backup a local on-disk SVN repository on a Linux machine. I know I can't just back it up off the file system, so before each snapshot I am making a copy with 'svnadmin hotcopy'. However, every time I do a hotcopy, the resulting files all have a current timestamp, rather than the same timestamp as the original f...
Currently we are evaluating whether it is possible to provide rsync support to an application we sell. I did a Google search and found some references: "Native Window version of rsync" - A discussion about an implementation but without any code. "Has anyone wrapped the rsync algorithm in C#-callable package?" - A discussion that links...
Hopefully someone here can help me. I've been using a normal hosting account for my backups up until now. today they have told me I'm violating their terms and conditions. I thought it wouldn't be allowed but it's worked for the last 6 months so I just forgot about it. I'm now looking for a real online backup storage service but can't ...

I'm on a personal quest to learn how the rsync algorithm works. After some reading and thinking, I've come up with a situation where I think the algorithm fails. I'm trying to figure out how this is resolved in an actual implementation. Consider this example, where A is the receiver and B is the sender. A = abcde1234512345fghij B = abc...
We are currently talking about deploying a website via rsync. However, during rsyncing the application is left in an inconsistent state, as some files may already be synced while others still are left with the old version right? How do people deal with this issue? I guess the same problem exists when deploying via svn/git/cvs. Should I j...
I have a website using cPanel on a dedicated account, I would like to be able to automatically sync the website to a second hosting company or perhaps to a local (in house ) server. Basically this is a type of replication. The website is database driven (MySQL), so Ideally it would sync everything (content, database, emails etc.) , but...
Hello everybody, I accidentally changed owner of all files on my plone site to plone, and I don't know how to fix this without reinstalling site, which won't be acceptable. I have backup version which keeps default owners but it's changed in the meanwhile on the dafault site. Maybe rsync can sync only ownerships between these copies???...
Hi I want to install rsync on windows xp. I have searched the web, but most of the solutions suggest using cygwin, but is there any other way to do this? I don't want to install cygwin because it takes lot of space. Moreover, I need to make it communicate with a rsync daemon on Linux, therefore alternatives to rsync on windows won't h...

Ex: file.txt.81, file.txt.82, etc. Now, these files are in different directories: data1/file.txt.81 data1/file.txt.82 data2/file2.txt.81 data2/file2.txt.82 How can I have rsync get only the *.82 files and not even ...

I'm writing a bash script to sync my iTunes music directory to a directory on a removable hard drive. The script works fine when there is absolutely nothing in the folder on the external hard drive. Once all files have been copied to the external drive, then the script begins to act strange. Even though i just sync'd everything over, it ...
I am using RSync to copy tar balls to an external hard drive on a Windows XP machine. My files are tar.gz files (perms 600) in a directory (perms 711). However, when I do a dry-run, only the folders are returned, the files are ignored. I use RSync a lot, so I presume there is no issue with my installation. I have tried changing permi...
