Rsync oddities.
Posted by Henry1975, 01-23-2012, 07:13 AM Hey everyone, Hope this is the right place to post this! I've been using Rsync for a while to do backups. The process used to be building file list - deleting old files - syncing new files. Now I get "sending incremental file list" and it jumps into it immediately, with the files to sync count increasing. Looking @ yum's update log - nothing should have changed... Am I being overly paranoid, or is everything OK? Here's the commands I'm using: "rsync -avz --delete -e ssh /var/lib/mysql root@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxxql" "rsync -avz --delete -e ssh --stats --progress --exclude-from '/home/backup/exclude.txt' /home root@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:home" Thanks in advance
Posted by silasistefan, 01-23-2012, 04:08 PM i hope you're stopping mysql before sync-ing /var/lib/mysql... why aren't you doing mysqldump? also, why are you removing the mysql dir with each rsync ??? "the files to sync count" is normal to increase after a new directory is read...
Posted by bqinternet, 01-25-2012, 10:55 AM If you're using Rsync 3.x on both ends, it no longer has to build a file list first. It uses a lot less RAM as a result. If you were already using Rsync 3 on your end, then it's likely that the other end has been upgraded.
