RSYNC script to transfer folders recursively without overwriting via FTP
Hi all,
I would need a bash script to sync/transfer folders recursively via FTP/RSYNC
(I initially planned to use FTP but I heard RSYNC would fit a lot better for this job(?))
The situation:
3 different Linux servers
1. source
2. destination - Samba
3. Server where the script runs on
As the files that have to be transferred are big database files (.bak, etc) overwriting (unnecessary traffic) should be avoided. Also no prompting because the script has to be 'cronned', to run nightly.
To sketch the situation more in detail; Now there is a remote samba backup server containing lots of SQL database files: .bak, .mdf files etc.
Here, on location, we have a server that should be synced with this samba via FTP/RSYNC. File wise.
On the remote samba server the files are constantly updated and already have the filename %data%_%hour%_%databasename%.bak
Something like:
1. Connect via FTP/RSYNC? to source server
2. Connect via FTP/RSYNC? to dest. server
3. Possibly compare the files between source and dest. via the filename
4. transfer the files recursively (without overwriting)
5. close connections
