Rsync will skip any files that are already in the destination by default it uses file size+date+time or with the -c option computes a checksum.
--partial saves a partially transfered file and will resume from where it was, without this, a file that is in being transfered when a server is rebooted or goes off the network will be deleted and the file re-transfered. This can be important if large files are being transfered and starting again will waste a lot of bandwidth.
--del can be important to remove files on the destination side that don't exist on the source side.
Try is something like this to copy a directory path keeping owner/permissions and removing and file in dest not in source
also consider something like --bwlimit=4000 to avoid swamping your network by limiting the transfer to 4Mbps.
Hi Experts..
Could anyone please let me know the easier way to copy large dump of files from one server to another. I am trying to copy a set of dump files on two different servers placed in different geographic locations.. Though there are other factors such as latency, etc., slowing up the... (4 Replies)
Hi
I have a job that will be running nightly incremental backsup of a large directory tree.
I did the initial backup, now I want to write a script to verify that all the files were transferred correctly. I did something like this which works in principle on small trees:

I want to backup all the directory tress, including hidden directories, without copying any files.
find . -type d gives the perfect list.
When I tried tar, it won't work for me because it tars all the files.
find . -type d | xargs tar -cvf a.tar
So i tried rsync.
On my own test box, the... (4 Replies)

Possibly a dumb question, but I'm deciding how I'm going to do this. I'm currently rsyncing a 25TB directory (with several layers of sub directories most of which have video files ranging from 500 megs to 4-5 gigs), from one NAS to another using rsync -av. By the time I need to act ~15TB should... (3 Replies)

_________________________________________________________________DESCRIPTION
These functions operate on file pathnames. They work with Unix and Windows pathnames on their respective hosts.
Ns_HomePath(dest, ...)
Construct a path name relative to the home directory of the server. The full path is constructed by appending the library directory
followed by each of the variable number of string elements after the dest argument. The elements will be separated by a / charac-
ter. The list must be terminated with a NULL string.
Ns_LibPath(dest, ...)
Construct a path name relative to the library directory of the server, normally the lib/ subdirectory of the home directory. The
full path is constructed by appending the library directory followed by each of the variable number of string elements after the
dest argument. The elements will be separated by a / character. The list must be terminated with a NULL string.
Ns_MakePath(dest, ...)
Construct a path name from a list of path elements. The Ns_MakePath function constructs a path name by appending a list of path ele-
ments to the given Ns_DString. The path elements are separated by single slashes, and the resulting path name is appended to the
given Ns_DString. The last argument needs to be NULL to indicate the end of the argument list.
Ns_ModulePath(dest, char *server, char *module, ...)
Construct a server and/or module specific pathname relative to the server home directory. The path in constructed by first append-
ing the server home directory. Next, if the server argument is not NULL, "server/servere appended to the destination and if the
module argument is not NULL, "module/module" will be appended. Finally, all other string elements, if any, will be appended to the
destination with separating / characters. The list must be terminated with a NULL string.
Ns_NormalizePath(dsPtr, path)
Normalize a path name. This function removes any extraneous slashes from the path and resolves "." and ".." references. The result
is appended to the given Ns_DString. The following code appends "/dog" to the Ns_DString:
Ns_NormalizePath(&ds,
"/dog/cat/../../rat/../../dog//mouse/..");
Ns_PathIsAbsolute(path)
Check for an absolute path name. Return NS_TRUE if the path is absolute and NS_FALSE otherwise. Under Unix, an absolute path starts
with a "/". On Windows, it starts with a drive letter followed immediately by a ":".
