rsync

Since there is no tutorial how to migrate a UFS installation to ZFS, I'll give my 5-cent contribution. Done this procedure yesterday at my home server that I run several services like Nginx + PHP, Samba, Transmission, Plex, Bhyve VM's, etc. You'll need a new disk that can hold all your data...

The documentation for rsyncd.conf states the daemon's configuration file is /usr/local/etc/rsyncd.conf, yet I only see /usr/local/etc/rsync/. Inside that directory I see /usr/local/etc/rsync/rsyncd.conf. Which is correct? In systemd, I can see where the configuration file is. Is there an...

I'm new to FreeBSD and have just installed a 12.1 release 32-bit version with Mate desktop, OpenOffice, Thunderbird and Firefox are all installed, and even the printer is working. So before I inevitably mess things up, I am looking for some pointers on how best to go about backing up the...

Hi, I need an advise and correct direction to my problem. I am a new FreeBSD user. Our recent Windows 10 machine was hit by a Ransomware and it spread to other machines on Network also. To protect that in future, I added a new HDD on the system and installed FreeBSD 12.0 x64 using HyperV on it...

Hi folks. I'm in a situation where I want to use rsync to back up the whole system to a LAN mounted volume. This requires a password for the remote workstation it's mounted on. Is there a way to provide a password without hard coding it in a bash script on the FreeBSD box? I'm hoping there's...

Hi guys! I tried looking everywhere for a solution, I even tried buying additional ram for my freebsd server. When I upload files from my Mac Laptop, I can upload just fine. But when I download the files from the server it returns Vincents-MacBook-Pro:~ vincentsee$ rsync -avhPX...

Question: Is there a special way to use symbolic links in Rsync "--link-dest" ? Setup is a rsync deamon running on the FreeBSD server with a path to a module storage. On the client, rsync is executed with the following command: rsync -ah --hard-links --link-dest=../test /home/user...

OK, I have a client (booker) and server (fourroses). I want to run a script on booker that uses rsync to copy files to fourroses and keep all user and group ownership attributes the same. I have had success maintaining file attributes running rsync in regular instead of daemon mode. But I...

Hello. I have virtual drive with UFS partitions, I need to boot Live-CD and use rsync to COPY files from remote server to this virtual HDD ("clone" the system). I want to boot from this virtual HDD (I'm using Virtualbox). So the only one obstacle is that none of the .iso-files (*dvd1.iso and so...

I installed net/rsync on two identical FreeBSD 10.2 machines using pkg. One will act as "the server" and the other will act as "the client". The server is running rsyncd and with the following configuration file: pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid uid = nobody gid = nobody use chroot = no max...

I'm trying to rsync some files from another FreeBSD 10.2 machine (from UFS) to the local ZFS filesystem and always getting an error. rsync: mknod "/usr/zfs/backup/site.com/backup/incremental/system/dirs/_var_cpanel/userhomes/cpanelconnecttrack/p0f.socket" failed: File name too long (63) rsync...

I have two FreeBSD (rel 9.3) NAS, I recently took on this new position and found out that these two NAS are synchronizing data (specifically to /mnt/Store folder) but I can't seem to find where/how this is being synced? I have looked in Rsync, /etc/fstab, but no go. I know this folder...
