RsyncBackup v.005 for Os2/eCS !
(http://www.os2notes.com/images/rsync/rsyncfolder.png)
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.

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 ???
QuoteDoes anyone know how to create WPS objects as templates
Create the object normally, then go to Properties-> Icon, and there is a checkbox there to make it into a template.

Got it and thank you, I looked it up earlier - but placed the Keyname in the wrong place !

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).
