Hi all, I'm an happy rdiff-backup user for many years. Years ago I setup a rdiff-backup from a WWW server to a local server. Internet connection is limited to 2Mbps between the 2 servers. As /var/www was initially empty, rdiff-backup as done its backup job everyday without problem, with many sites added in /var/www. Now /var/www is 14G large and I need to fresh start the backup (destination directory has been deleted). Bad thing is that trying to first sync source and destination via the command : nice -n 19 rdiff-backup --force $SOURCE $DEST::$DESTDIR always ends with network (Internet error) like these : Found interrupted initial backup. Removing... Write failed: Broken pipe Fatal Error: Lost connection to the remote system What would be proper way to first sync rdiff-backup ? Would a previous rsync help, so that only meta-datas would be written by rdiff ?
Take a look here: http://www.nongnu.org/rdiff-backup/rdiff-backup.1.html FILE SELECTIONI would use the --include-filelist option and associated file to have rdiff back up /var/www a subdirectory at a time. In other words add a subdirectory to the file and run rdiff. After that completes, add another subdirectory and rerun, etc. Basically build up the destination directory incrementally.
Thanks in advance for your thought. Nicolas _______________________________________________ rdiff-backup-users mailing list at address@hidden https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/rdiff-backup-users Wiki URL: http://rdiff-backup.solutionsfirst.com.au/index.php/RdiffBackupWiki
