| | Rsync - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The rsync utility uses an algorithm (invented by Australian computer programmer Andrew Tridgell) for efficiently transmitting a structure (such as a file) across a communications link when the receiving computer already has a different version of the same structure. | | | rsync is a computer program for Unix systems which synchronizes files and directories from one location to another while minimizing data transfer using delta encoding when appropriate. | | | There also exists a utility called rdiff, which uses the rsync algorithm to generate delta files with the difference from file A to file B (like the utility diff, but in a different delta format). |

| | Use rsync to back up a directory tree of files |
| | rsync is a very good program for backing up/mirroring a directory tree of files from one machine to another machine, and for keeping the two machines "in sync." More on rsync features. | | | Rather, it uses the rsync algorithm to find the differences between the two files and only sends sufficient information that is needed to make the destination file be identical with the source file. | | | If you can't use the RPM file, or any of the other binary distributions, then you must download the source "tarball" file, untar it, and follow the instruction that are contained in the README file to compile and install it. |

| | The latest versions of the manpages are also available for both rsync and rsyncd.conf. | | | If the user privs that such an rsync daemon is using is anything above "nobody", you are at risk of someone crafting an attack that could write a file outside of the module's "path" setting (where all its files should be stored). | | | This bug appears to now be fixed in DLL version 1.5.7-1, and Cygwin users are reporting that upgrading the DLL removes the hang-at-end-of-transfer problem for their existing rsync executable. |

| | man: rsync |
| | rsync is a program that behaves in much the same way that rcp does, but has many more options and uses the rsync remote-update protocol to greatly speed up file transfers when the destination file is being updated. | | | Perhaps the best way to explain the syntax is with some examples: rsync -t *.c foo:src/ This would transfer all files matching the pattern *.c from the current directory to the directory src on the machine foo. | | | The rsync remote-update protocol allows rsync to transfer just the dif- ferences between two sets of files across the network connection, using an efficient checksum-search algorithm described in the technical report that accompanies this package. |

| | Using rsync to update Mandrake-Linux ISO Images |
| | rsync is not smart enough to compare the two files so you have to rename them for this to work. | | | He was responding to a post that someone had made about using rsync and he asked for instructions on how to do this. | | | Although this article is written specifically for Mandrake users who want to sync the beta iso's (because I use Mandrake Linux and like to test the beta versions), this information should be able to be used quite easily for other distributions that go through a public beta test period (Red Hat comes to mind). |

| | Rsync |
| | Since rsync simply copies files to another live file system, they are easy to retrieve. | | | The backups are of a live file system, so it is possible that some backed up files could be corrupted. | | | Our users have access to the backup using an nfs mount or ssh, so the system administrator does not even need to be contacted to do the most commonly needed restore - an accidentally deleted file. |

| | Rsync is very good at finding similarities between two files, and then transfer as little data as possible, to make the target file exactly the same as the source file. | | | But what I find so damn sexy about rsync is when the file exists on the destination. | | | Even if I got the file another way, or simply extracted the rev6-iso from a CD, I could simple change "rev6" to "rev7" in the url, and rsync would upgrade the file. |

| | Easy Automated Snapshot-Style Backups with Rsync |
| | Rsync's specialty is efficiently synchronizing file trees across a network, but it works fine on a single machine too. | | | On the downside, this approach is slightly less transparent to users than NFS--snapshots would not appear to be mounted as a system directory, unless NFS is used in that direction, which is certainly another option (I haven't tried it yet though). | | | There is no need to use rsync for the higher-level snapshots; just cp -al from the appropriate hourly one. |

| | Backing up with rsync and ssh [dive into mark] |
| | I am working on further automating the process with rsync snapshots (backing up the backups). | | | The Rubel method (#3 above) is superior to rsync’s built-in method (#2 above) because the Rubel method gives you a complete sets of files for each snapshot. | | | My experience is that it should only be used in pure Mac environments; I tried to use it to back up documents from my Linux server to my iMac, and I ran into all sorts of problems as it was looking for resource forks that weren’t there. |
