#rsync
@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 ;-)

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.

Is there a method to have rsync write only errors to a log file? #rsync
Rsync from Ubuntu to Synology fails when created as task #rsync
Ich frage mal in die Schwarmoffensive des Fediserv, ob jemand eine #Synology nutzt und, anstatt das mitgelieferte #SynologyDrive zur Synchronisation auf #Linux, ein #rsync ?
Vielen Dank
Waaahh ... Ich hab jetzt 15 Minuten rumprobiert und gerätselt, warum ich bei #rsync die Meldung "protocol version mismatch -- is your shell clean?" bekomme. Natürlich war die Shell clean, rsync auf beiden Seiten auch auf derselben Version. Dann ist mir aufgefallen, dass der Sender nicht #openssh, sondern #dropbear benutzt. #SSH

hrfmpfmf why is #rsync sourcedir destdir not the same as rsync sourcedir/ destdir/ ?
i know i know, i’ve read the manpage. Still i am using it the wrong way the first time, every time.
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.

Jetzt kauft man sich schon extra das neue #iPhone 15 pro Max und man kann trotzdem noch nicht per #USB-C und #Kabel Dateien aus der #Dateien #App in den #Finder zum #Macbook übertragen.
Was war das doch alles noch einfach, als ich noch #Linux hatte und das einfach mit #cp, #mv oder #rsync erledigt habe.
Now to figure out how to enable symlinks on my old DroboFS because rsync is complaining (something I probably wouldn't have known if rsnapshot wasn't emailing me debug stuff).
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

Oh, I am in love with #rsync haha! Been using it quite a bit to transfer files between my retiring #MacBookAir, #raspberrypi4b and #MacminiM1.

TIL about "rrsync", and it is installed alongside regular #rsync. Put it into your `authorized_keys` file, and restrict an incoming connection to a certain directory!

Mein Wochenrückblick, Ausgabe 8 (2023-38). Diesmal mit #Raycast, CLI- und Shortcuts-Steuerung für das #Elgato #Keylight, der neuen Firmware für den #Prusa #PrusaMINI mit Input Shaper 😲, dem Helikopter #DHRTF / #CHX49 im Garten, #rsync, #OsmoTagger als Unterwegs-Editor für #OpenStreetMap auf #iOS, #CanIPHP, #SeriesHeat, dem #EUCAPTCHA und natürlich #Techno.
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.

@tux Das Syncen der wichtigsten Bereiche aus dem Home-Ordner übernimmt aktuell #freefilesync - ggf. würde ich auf lange Sicht aber mit Skripten auf #rsync schwenken. 💾
Für versionierte Backups bin ich noch am Tüfteln... Leider werfen #backintime und vor allem #kup, das interne und elegant verankerte #backup tool von #kde, noch Fehler - Zweiteres würde mir am besten gefallen. 🥺
Daher laufen die Backups momentan über #duplicati - was m.M. auch ein geniales Tool ist! 💪
Wie machst du es? 😊
Was idly browsing through the #rfc database and was wondering if I could mirror the text versions of RFCs for easy, offline consumption. Did a bit of digging and discovered one of the easiest ways is with #rsync: https://www.rfc-editor.org/retrieve/rsync/. Perhaps some of you would also find this useful.

🥥 Eye have a bit of dyslexia going on, so I often have trouble parsing #Linux #Terminal commands.
Using #rsync without a GUI was beyond me.
Then I discovered #LuckyBackup -- a GUI for rsync that was understandable to me.
I'm currently using it to move files from old hard drives to my new M2 drive in my new desktop.
Boy, is it fast!
This may be what YOU'VE been looking for if other options have not felt comfortable.
PS: I found the non-super-user version looks better on my monitor. 🥥

What I'm looking for is "What are the ways this mechanism can go wrong?"
I think I need to understand the mechanism better to be sure it's not going to land me in a heap of trouble.
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.
@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...
man! whoever scrolled by here the other day, hinting to really really take a look at the user-local #ssh ~/.ssh/config … thanks a million out into the fediether.
if you've ever had to deal with ssh/sftp-transported #rsync into a machine with nonstandard-port; fruttling with ugly --rsh='ssh…' to pass down options… argh.
all gone … all gone … :blobcatrainbow:
thanks man ssh_config, thanks man hint giver

I'm neither a #Scotsman, a coin-op, nor someone who knows what a "furry plumber" is.

There should be #ConflictResolution like renaming the files diff'ing...
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/
#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.
@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. :)

Building on someone else's work, I made a quick bash script that backs up your #Mastodon #server using #rsync.
Check it out at https://github.com/kurucu/mastodon-backup - PRs welcome.
#rsync.net offered to give me 1TB of storage, for life, for $540. If I cancelled both iCloud subscription and Google One, it would still take 9 years to break even.
Would you?
