RsyncBackup v.005 for Os2/eCS !





Warning: not compatible with RsyncBack-004


I put together a package (RsyncBackup-005.zip)  that will install a working
setup for Rsync. You can install it on only one machine or install the same
package on two machine for a client / server setup.  It's also an easy way
to install Rsync for the newly ported Qt apps that use Rsync !

IMPORTANT - all scripts and program objects have the (--dry-run ) option
inserted, it performs a trial run with no changes made to your system. So,
this package will not change anything on your system until (--dry-run ) is
removed.

Cheers,

RsyncBackup v.006 for Os2/eCS released !!!


http://www.os2notes.com/files/RsyncBackup-006b.zip


The main focus of RsyncBackup will be setting up a working Rsync server with clients pushing data
to that server. The RsyncBackup quick start will allow you to complete this task in about 10 minutes (Windows included) !  

However, local operations are secondary since LuckyBackup works great for local copying.


Added a quick start here:

http://www.os2notes.com/RsyncBackup-QuickStart.xhtml


Cleared up documentation and purpose statement:

http://www.os2notes.com/os2rsync.html


Scheduling for unattended backups coming soon !!!


  • Full boot-drive backups-Network
  • Full partitions backups-Network
  • Full mirroring of partition-Network
  • Sync of important directories-Network
  • Incremental 7 day backups-Network, good for finding changes by date & day of week


Cheers,

Greggory

Update: 6 Jan 2012

Sorry, wrong version was zipped for RsyncBackup-006 - please use RsyncBackup-006b.

The BootDrive(full_local).cmd would overwrite the backup images from ZipBoot, so I
separated the directories and added the Config folder.

It is Ok to unzip RsyncBackup-006b over RsyncBackup-006 - as long as you didn't modify the original scripts, they should be copied first then modified.

It is recommended to change the WPS objects in the Local & Network folders into templates,

Open =>properties=>Icon, select template

Does anyone know how to create WPS objects as templates Huh

Create the object normally, then go to Properties-> Icon, and there is a checkbox there to make it into a template.

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.

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).

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).

----------------------------------------

    max connections = 6
    transfer logging = yes
    read only = false
    timeout=600

    lock file = /var/temp/rsyncd.lock
    pid file = /var/temp/rsyncd.pid
    log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log
    motd file = /mptn/etc/rsyncd.motd

[RsyncBackup]
#    hosts allow = 192.168.1.1/24
    comment = Rsync backup storage area
    path = g:/RsyncBackup/Backups
    read only = false
    list = yes
    gid = root
    uid = root

[RsyncIncremental]
#    hosts allow = 192.168.1.1/24
    comment = Rsync Incremental backup
    path = g:/RsyncBackup/Backups/Incremental
    read only = false
    list = yes
    gid = root
    uid = root

[RsyncWin]
#    hosts allow = 192.168.1.1/24
    comment = Rsync Windows backup
    path = g:/RsyncBackup/Backups/Windows
    read only = false
    list = yes
    gid = root
    uid = root

---------------------------------------
