If a file from a full backup failed to transfer, what is the best way to make a subsequent, incremental backup include these (few) files?
The remote system is a Windows system, reachable using rsyncd. If a full backup failed, then the next backup will be a full backup, but it will use the partial backup created by the failed full backup, which will include all changed files, up to (but not including) the file it failed on. I think this will mostly give you what you expect, just keep in mind when you say "(few) files" it actually means all files and directories after the file it failed on. So, you need to ensure that the largest file you want to transfer will successfully transfer without error within a single backup attempt. Is this new behavior? I'm using Version 3.3 (Ubuntu), and since skipping one file does not count as failure, and since that file isn't written since the full backup, it doesn't get backed up in subsequent (incremental) backups. Also, whenever theren is a connection problem, all the downloaded files from the next, incremental backup are thrown away. I'm currently circumventing that problem manually. http://www.braindumps.com/CCIE-Service-Provider.htm (http://www.braindumps.com/CCIE-Service-Provider.htm) +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by [email protected] via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to [email protected]. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming The Go Parallel Website, sponsored by Intel and developed in partnership with Slashdot Media, is your hub for all things parallel software development, from weekly thought leadership blogs to news, videos, case studies, tutorials and more.
