UsingRSYNC
rsync -ae ssh 192.168.0.11:/var /backup/ -rv -a = archive mode. This will preserve permissions, timestamps, etc. -e = specify which remote shell to use. rsync -zavre ssh --progress 192.168.1.1:/home /home/backups/192.168.0.1_backup/ -z = adds zip compression.
-v = verbose
–progress =This show progress along with useful data.
-a = archive mode. This will preserve permissions, timestamps, etc.
-e = specify which remote shell to use.
Useful command-line switches -v, --verbose increase verbosity
-q, --quiet decrease verbosity
-c, --checksum always checksum
-a, --archive archive mode. It is a quick way of saying you want recursion and want to preserve everything.
-r, --recursive recurse into directories
-R, --relative use relative path names
-u, --update update only (don't overwrite newer files)
-t, --times preserve times
-n, --dry-run show what would have been transferred
-W, --whole-file copy whole files, no incremental checks
-I, --ignore-times Normally rsync will skip any files that are already the same length and have the same time-stamp. This option turns off this behavior.
--existing only update files that already exist
--delete delete files that don't exist on the sending side
--delete-after delete after transferring, not before
--force force deletion of directories even if not empty
-c, --checksum always checksum
--size-only only use file size when determining if a file should be transferred
--progress show progress during transfer
-z, --compress compress file data
--exclude=PATTERN exclude files matching PATTERN
--daemon run as a rsync daemon
--password-file=FILE get password from FILE
Copy File and Dir under /home/sp/backup/05-29-07/custom/usr/local/ to /usr/local/ rsync -arpogtv --progress /home/sp/backup/05-29-07/custom/usr/local/ /usr/local/ -rv rsync -vrplogDtH --progress /home/sp/backup/05-29-07/custom/var/www/ /var/www/ OPTIONS SUMMARY Here is a short summary of the options available in rsync.Please refer to the detailed description below for a complete description.

Back up entire server: rsync -avz --exclude=/proc -e ssh / user@SERVER.COM:backup-server The following script can be run every night using Linux’s built in cron facility. To start the script at 11pm each night, use the command "crontab -e", and then type the following: 0 23 * * * /path/to/your/script Rsync User Home Dir: rsync -avrplogDtH /home/USERNAME root@IP-ADDRESS:/home/ Delete files on the backup server after sync is complete. rsync --delete-after -zave ssh --progress 192.168.1.1:/home /home/backups/192.168.1.1_home_backup/ --delete-after will delete file that are not there on the source server after sync When used with -n, --dry-run ------ show what would have been transferred. rsync --delete-after -zave ssh --progress 192.168.1.1:/home /home/backups/192.168.1.1_home_backup/ -n Will show you what it will do if the above command is run. |
