you are looking to back up the database??? why not just dump it?
also, there is really no need to rsync the application files because you are copying to a new location and not a location where the files already exists... such as syncing the directories/files. tar.Z the files up and copy to new location.

Hi,
I've got a cronjob running daily creating backup files. How can I send that created file to a remote server & then delete it on my workstation to save space? The filename format is as follows: proj_bk_20070624_15h30, proj_bk_20070625_15h30, etc

I'm looking to use rsync to compare remote files and to copy the diff to a local directory, rather than transfer over the net.
The net connection is not fast enough to transfer these files (~1.8TB) and I'd like to sneakernet them instead.
Possible? (4 Replies)

rdiff(1) General Commands Manual rdiff(1)
NAME
rdiff - compute and apply signature-based file differences
SYNOPSYS
rdiff [options] signature old-file signature-file
rdiff [options] delta signature-file new-file delta-file
rdiff [options] patch basis-file delta-file new-file
USAGE
You can use rdiff to update files, much like rsync does. However, unlike rsync, rdiff puts you in control. There are three steps to
updating a file: signature, delta, and patch.
DESCRIPTION
In every case where a filename must be specified, - may be used instead to mean either standard input or standard output as appropriate.
Be aware that if you do this, you'll need to terminate your options with -- or rdiff will think you are passing it an empty option.
RETURN VALUE
0 for successful completion, 1 for environmental problems (file not found, invalid options, IO error, etc), 2 for a corrupt file and 3 for
an internal error or unhandled situation in librsync or rdiff.
