Does anyone have experience with rsync? I heard it was simple and fast and the best choice for simple real time backups.
I am trying to copy the whole drive from a Win2000 Server to a Debian box over the LAN for backup. The whole 2000 drive is mounted on my /mnt directory. This is the command I use: steelhead:~# rsync -av --ignore-errors --force /mnt /home/andy/serverbackup With rsync 2.5.5-0.1 I keep getting this error: send_files failed to open //mnt/pagefile.sys: Text file busy wrote 1997693597 bytes read 311316 bytes 798403.56 bytes/sec total size is 3608114930 speedup is 1.81 rsync error: partial transfer (code 23) at main.c(578) I rolled back to rsync 2.4.6-1 to try an older version and this time it copies a few gigs but then hangs when it hits file in the c:\ root directory. I am not sure why. Google shows a ton of returns on the partial transfer error but I can't find any solutions out there. Should I just use cp or maybe tar? What do you all use for this kind of simple backup? Thanks, Andy -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
