RsyncBackup/2 - easy way to setup Rsync v3.09 for OS/2.
Rsync is a fast and extraordinarily versatile file copying tool. It can copy locally, to/from another host over any remote shell, or to/from a remote rsync daemon. ... Rsync is widely used for backups and mirroring and as an improved copy command for everyday use.
Including:
- Zip backup boot partition
- Scans and auto setup of Local & Network backup of paritions
- Or use the included scripts
- Install 'DragText' for timed backups (included with eCS 2.2)
- Setup of the Rsync Server
Needs some testing and suggestions, I have it about where I want to go with it.
I'm using these parameters (any thoughts ? Post what you use please):
rsync --dry-run --archive --itemize-changes --os2-perms --stats --xattrs --delete-during --log-file=\mptn\etc\rsyncd.log E:\ E:\Programs\Apps\Backups\rBackup\Backups\Local\Partitions\E

Sorry, I included the wrong ZipBoot.cmd file, I updated the RsyncBackup-v1_1.zip file so you don't need this if you haven't yet downloaded RsyncBackup-v1_1.zip.
Attached is the correct version, it's not a stand alone version it needs RsyncBackup/2.
UPDATE: need to change the working directory for the Zip Boot-Drive WPS object from
E:\PROGRAMS\...\RSYNCBACKUP
to
E:\PROGRAMS\...\RSYNCBACKUP\ZIPBOOT

Finished the 7 day Incremental backup scripts !
They create a current backup /w 7 day increments, just copy to Scripts folder overwrite old ones. I updated the RsyncBackup-v1_1.zip file so you don't need this if you haven't yet downloaded RsyncBackup-v1_1.zip.
Directory structure:
>Home
> Home
> Mon
> Tues
> Wed
> 20161121
> 20161122
> test.txt
> Thur
> ......
Here's an old article on 7 day Int. backups for a general overview:

Download RsyncBackup/2 here :

I would definitely like to add some more options ! Any help or suggestions auto delete after 7 days, different sets, exploring --suffix= ?
Note: this creates only one backup file, use --suffix=Time() to timestamp the files (hourly backups). Time(N) 24 hour time doesn't work (need to remove the colons first, help /w rexx parse code), using total mintues now.

Greggory,
Does your RsyncBackup create live backup/copy of a disk/partition (so disk=>disk copy)? Or is it primarily meant to create a ZIP backup?
I ask because I have been using dSync (dSync for OS/2, Version 0.1.6z (c) 2001-2003 by MaDdEd-Ii) for a number of years now. It runs once every 24 hrs and simply syncs up my partitions...
Thanks,

RsyncBackup/2 uses zip for the boot partition only & Rsync for the rest.
I can no longer recommend dSync (see link):
