@slackline @lauren dried-sync-transient sits on top of dired-rsync for those who prefer a #magit like interface to the underlying #rsync command (allowing you to tweak a few vars). However I'm fine with just using plain dired-rsync - full disclosure I'm the original author so unsurprisingly it suites my workflow ;-)

@lauren for this reason I have embedded all my use of #rsync into #emacs #dired mode so I don't have to thing about it.

Wenn btrfs die inkrementelle Synchronisation einiger Snapshots vom internen auf einen externen Datenträger im aktuellen Tempo fortsetzt, kann ich auch gleich bei der vorherigen rsync-Lösung bleiben.
Irgendwie hatte ich gehofft, dass btrfs als Dateisystem im Gegensatz zu rsync auf Anhieb zeitsparend mehr über die inneren Zusammenhänge zwischen den Snapshots wüsste und somit nicht erst eine komplette Bestandsaufnahme der zu übertragenden Inhalte machen müsste.

Vielleicht wird's ja noch besser. Aber bisher hat insgesamt betrachtet rsync im Vergleich zu btrfs send & btrfs receive die Nase vorn.

Stupid me, made a key pair and started to rsync the www root on the Raspberry Pi ( Linux ). A while ago I chowned it to the group www-data. Well if there isn't one (why do they allow it) rsync does not work. Checked the groups and chowned it all to www where pi has rights to read it. Since ssh isn't open on the outside, I can do it. I only use key pairs internally :facepalm

At it again today trying to #backup our #peertube instance.

Since I delved into #linux 2yrs ago, I‘m constantly learning new stuff and always feel either insanely informed or not informed at all.

Can you imagine? I used #scp to do backups?! Disgusting, I know. 😂

Since I don’t have tons of space, I‘ll probably keep moving the backups away from the host with #rsync —remove-source-files.

I‘m obviously not copying the videos. I have those in raw format on my backup server.

Wow, #macOS ships with #rsync version 2.6.9. That's from *2006*. That's almost two decades old. I can't imagine how many bug fixes and security fixes and performance improvements we're missing out on. It's a wonder that rsync from 2006 on one machine is even compatible with rsync from 2022 on another machine.

Plus this means I can't use --info=progress2 T_T

Do you run a mirror of the #OpenStreetMap data on planet.openstreetmap.org? We're changing how we serve planet files in a way that will impact you. Currently we have a medium amount of historic files available by HTTP and #rsync, but we're going to have all historic data available by HTTP with a redirect and limited data available by rsync. Rsync will eventually be shut down, but this is some time away.

OK, note to self: when you rsync backups to your Synology NAS, make sure you either disable the recyclebin or schedule empty-recyclebin jobs... Just cleaned up 7TB... #synology #rsync #backup

A first: I uploaded 1 TB of data in about 1 day from my home fiber connection that is only 100 MBit/s upload bandwidth. In #Germany we mostly have asynchronous #bandwidth (up/down), as I have (100/500 MBit/s).

Still pretty cool it "only" took 1 day.

Hmm.

How does rsync *know* that a file has "changed"?

Relative to what?

Does it keep track of when it was last run?

Is there some kind of hidden file that it's using? Is it marking the files somehow?

Or does "changed" just mean "relative to the destination"?

And if it's that, then why is there an "update" option?

The man page is kind of vague on this.

Just want to make sure I'm not going to accidentally destroy important data.

Why is there a ton of complex distributed #filesystem's and a bunch of p2p file sync solutions, and, of course, bunch of automagically sharding and object stores,

But not a single one well-maintained simple solution for one-way live filesystem #replication (that I could find)?

Is it just not what super serious "high availability" #devops people ever need or what.

I just want a live copy of everything I have on a server on another server. Currently using #Syncthing for that but even that feels like way too many failure modes for what is basically #rsync in a loop.

Thinking of building a basic thing that hooks into fanotify and maintains an append-only log of changes and hashes, and plays those back to the replica client over ssh or tls.

Can't help but feel I'm missing something crucial that would make it fail in a major way. Surely it can't be that simple.

Alright so I decided to format the memory stick, after copying the save data and plugins, and I'll just add the games, starting with PS1, 13 GB being copied via #rsync, good progress so far :P

Dear rsync pros, I have a question:

How can I filter a file that is being transferred? Rsync has a --filter option, but that can only filter the list of files – not the file contents.

I'd like to run sed on the file stream before it is stored.

Is there any way to do this?

Liebe rsync-Profis, eine Frage:

Wie kann ich die übertragenen Dateien durch einen Unix-Filter schicken?

Ich würde gern on-the-fly eine Ersetzung mit sed machen, bevor die Datei auf der Empfangsseite auf Platte geschrieben wird.

Das muss doch gehen? Leider finde ich in der Manpage nichts Passendes.

#sysadmin #cli #rsync #gnu #linux #shell #programming

@lamp you avoid a lot of issues.

And depending on your setup you could just have some CI/CD that automagically #rsync's your changes once you saved a file to said server...

I mean it does take time but even I'd build myself a script for that.

I mean, @fuchsiii did that for herself on multiple occasions like to rapidly test some #wine stuff or develop some #react based #apps...

If you're like me, you wish #rsync would work asynchronously.

It won't.

But it turns out the #dar, which already is asynchronous-capable, can work like #rsync.

I wrote up how over here: https://www.complete.org/an-asynchronous-rsync-with-dar/

John Goerzen
6 months ago

#dar 14/ The #rsync approach is better if you don't know the state of the destination filesystem. Perhaps it was modified, or the state is unknown. rsync will handle that and figure out what to do.

#dar is better when you don't have a live connection to the destination filesystem - airgapped backups, or the destination won't exist for another year yet, when you go to do a restore. Also, when the destination is empty, dar can be faster.

John Goerzen
6 months ago

#dar 13/ So I think dar can be thought of as a filesystem differ. Pretty cool. But then #rsync is also, isn't it?

The difference is that rsync compares two live filesystems, while dar compares the current state of a filesystem with a saved state. When is each approach better?

@benaryorg @natty point taken - both options are valid and can be used since they don't conflict each other.

Ideally said dotfiles would be synced and versioned with something like a #git (and/or maybe #rsync) and be identical on all machines of the same type.

@jaredwhite @cappiello @vanilla @bridgetown Oh, I know. I'd prefer to stick with back-end development (.NET, C#, ASP.NET, SQL Server) because I'm familiar with it and I only got into coding because it pays better than cleaning toilets, but I keep landing in projects that want full-stack so I must perforce adapt.

On my personal website, though, my stack is #make, #bash, #sed, #awk., #pandoc, #htmlXmlUtils, and #ImageMagick. Deployment is #rsync over #ssh. :)
