An OS/2 oriented how-to would be welcome.
Working on that & a detailed walk through for RsyncBackup. A step-by-step for network backups and an automated schedule system. And I'm going to try out Open SSH for a better transport if possible (
does anyone know if this is possible with the OS/2 SSH server).
When you make a rsyncd.conf file, how do you format the path?
All the documentation if for Linux, and so they skip over the drive letter issues...
An OS/2 oriented how-to would be welcome.
That's been fixed with Rsync 3.07 for OS/2.
- Supports drive letters
- Supports OS/2 style backslashes in path names
- Supports OS/2 extended attributes
Enable with --xattrs, the default is --no-xattrs
Here's my 'rsyncd.conf'.
I use drive letters & forward slashes - and no drive letters for
my boot partition (because rsync is installed in the \mptn\bin directory & some people don't use C: as boot).
