Rsync Some Files From Windows To A Linux Server
Mar 28, 2007
At work, we have a windows 2003 server.
We have a set of files that get modified from day to day.
Since they know I own a dedicated server (Linux) they ask me if it would be possible to have an offsite backup on my server of the set of files on the windows 2003 server.
Also, I dont want to have the whole files set to be uploaded everyday.
I am aware of rsync on *nix system, but do you have any suggestions on how to proceed with a windows 2003 server to a unix server?

i have a client machine which requires backing up, and the server. For some reason, rsync doesn't want to transfer files...
i've already set up keys, it logs in fine without asking for password.
server config:
max connections = 2
log file = /var/log/rsync.log
timeout = 300
[backup]
comment = Rsync backups
path = /secondary/client
read only = no
list = yes
uid = nobody
gid = nobody
auth users = root
client command:
rsync -vz --recursive --progress --stats -e "ssh -i /root/.ssh/rsynckey" root@server.com:/backup/ /home/usertobackup
it keeps saying cannot find the backup folder, even thouhg it does exist on the server and is what is specified in the path above?

I have move all my vBulletin images to a separate server .. to decrease the load in the main server.. but i am still having a problem .. I have a 3 directors updated daily with new images they are
/home/mark/public_html/vb/customavatars
/home/mark/public_html/vb/customprofilepics
/home/mark/public_html/vb/signaturepics/
I am searching for a way to move only the new files uploaded to this there directory's to the other server in this way
/home/mark/public_html/vb/customavatars (new files) ===> /home/mark/public_html/images/customavatars
/home/mark/public_html/vb/customprofilepics (new files) ===> /home/mark/public_html/images/customprofilepics
/home/mark/public_html/vb/signaturepics/(new files) ===> /home/mark/public_html/images/signaturepics
I have tried to use Rsync in this way as i have a internal connection between my server but it's not work
rsync -a rsync://192.168.0.2/vb/customprofilepics/ /home/mark/public_html/images/customprofilepics
rsync -a rsync://192.168.0.2/vb/customavatars/ /home/mark/public_html/images/customavatars
rsync -a rsync://192.168.0.2/vb/signaturepics/ /home/mark/public_html/images/signaturepics
with daily corn ..

i just wana know is it safe to do remote daily backup for about 70,000 files?
file sizes is about 200kb and every day i have about 1000 new file, so rsync first should check old files becouse i am deleting about 30-50 of them daily and them backup new 1000 files ,
so how much it will take every time to compare that 70,000 files?
i have 2 option now:
1-using second hdd and raid 1
2-using rsync and backuping to my second server , so i can save about $70 each month.

I'm currently using (amongst other backup systems) rsync to an offsite space (am using BQBackup at the moment)
I'm just wondering - apart from backing up all of /home/, /var/lib/mysql/ and the important config files (httpd.conf, php.conf, etc etc) is there anything else that *needs* to be backed up?
Obviously in a worst case scenario, a new machine would be deployed with a fresh OS install (and a fresh WHM/cPanel install) so I wouldn't worry about backing up OS files or cPanel core files, although I'm wondering if there's anything apart from the /home/ directory and the MySQL databases which would be lost (and so need backing up) in the event of a crash?

We have a Windows 2003 Enterprise server with 6GB of RAM and about 20 terminal services users logging in. These users then launch a program called Accuthin Thin Client giving them access to a piece of software called Southware that runs on a Centos 5 Linux server on the same network.
Problem seems to be that saving files to the network share causes windows to blue screen and crash. Has anyone ever heard of this before? I know it is a shot in the dark but we have been investigating this issue for 4 months, have replaced the Windows server 5 times, increased RAM to 8 GB and installed Enterprise edition clean but the issue follow no matter what we do.

I rent windows dedicated server for just about a month, but I never had problem.
When I copy files on my home computer and then paste them onto server's drive, files begin copying, but after some time they stop copying and I hear double beep sound.
Time after which they stop copying is random.

TLDR version:
when populating and attempting to write keys to authorized_keys I'm receiving the following error:
Quote:
Could not create directory '/home/Administrator/.ssh'
Long version:
I've been grinding my wheels with this for a long time now. Basically I'm attempting to get rsync set up to backup some data directories on my Windows 2k3 Server through a batch file with task scheduler to bqbackup. I've been back and forth with both Scott and Rsync.net's tech support about this issue - both of which have been great... but essentially keep hitting the same impasse with Scott appearing to have hung his hat stating he's not familiar enough with windows and rysnc.net telling me to wait for their GUI client that should be launching "soon." In the meantime I'm just running the backup manually until I can get this key issue figured out.
Here's what's going on:
I've been mainly using BQ's Guide and Rsync's Guide to try and accomplish this.
After executing ssh-keygen -t rsa -N ''
I receive the following message:
Quote:
Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/home/Administrator/.ssh/id_rsa):
If I accept the default value it gives me I receive this error:
Quote:
Could not create directory '/home/Administrator/.ssh'.
Open /home/Administrator/.ssh/id_rsa failed: Not a directory.
Saving the key failed: /home/Administrator/.ssh/id_rsa.
Now my thoughts were this was occurring because my %homepath% is actually:
Quote:
c:documents and settingsadministrator.DOMAIN
(DOMAIN replacing actual text)
I'm able to change the default path location and create the RSA file elsewhere using the cygdrive format... so when prompted for the path to save I instead input:
Quote:
/cydrive/c/docume~1/administrator.DOMAIN/
and am able to create the RSA file... so mission accomplished... so far, I believe I'm past this, the snafu is now occurring on writing these keys to the authorized_keys file on BQBackup...
Quote:
C:Program FilescwRsyncin>rsync -av "/cydrive/c/documents and
settings/administrator.DOMAIN/.ssh/id_rsa.pub"
<login>@<host>:.ssh/authorized_keys
Could not create directory '/home/Administrator/.ssh'.
The authenticity of host '<host> (<ip>)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is 18:02:d9:95:06:a9:70:74:86:b7:76:41:f6:71:a0:a4.
(<login>@<host> replacing actual login & host... it's definitely connecting)
That pesky '/home/Administrator/.ssh' pops up again. I'm not sure if that's what's causing the issue or not. I'm not even sure why the %homepath% for my administrator account on the server is set to administrator.DOMAIN, but AFAIK I can't log in to a local account on a Win2k3S box, correct?
Now, you'll notice that the command I issued to upload the keys I got from the RSync.net instructions. BQ's instructions for step 3 are pretty foreign to me.
I've gone further than this and attempted other things such as SSH'ing into my BQ server using putty and attempting to write the keys that way with no luck. I can't fully remember the errors I encountered doing so, though.

I have noticed in a few Windows server tha the server gets hacked and there are tons of files which are mostly DVD rips and games being transferred away which results in huge amount of data transferred and bandwidth consumption increasing to as far as 29 Mbps. On further investigation, I find that all the files get stored in either the Recycler directory or the System Volume Information directories in any of the drives. Now these two directories are protected operating system files. Even if there is a windows firewall installed, there is no difference. I have even noticed that in some servers there is an automatic exception rule added in the windows firewall enabling the torrent client to communicate outside the server. This seems to be a common problem with Windows 2003 server and seems to be some backdoor of Windows allowing hackers to use the server for seeding. Has anybody come across such a problem or know the solution? Kindly help me with this.

Ftp server works fine with ftp clients and cpanel backups.

When I send files to my through FTP, the server cuts connection and I get this message in messages log file
FAIL: ftp per_source_limit from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
xxx.... my IP
And I've observed the connection is closed and opened during the transfer.
I avoid disconnection adding per_source=unlimited in /etc/xinetd.d/ftp_psa
But I see this entry in the same message log
mod_delay/0.7: unable to open DelayTable '/var/proftpd.delay': No such file or directory

I have a python script that generates images and is able to write them into a directory on the same web space
However, I would like the same script to write files into another directory located in the web space of another domain on the same server.
For example, script lives here...
/var/www/vhosts/domain1.com/httpdocs/scripts/myscript.py
this works...
/var/www/vhosts/domain1.com/httpdocs/scripts/images/
this fails...
/var/www/vhosts/domain2.com/httpdocs/web/images/
The directory structure already exists, so there is no need to create any new directories
I have tried setting permissions for the destination "images" directory to 777 and that didn't work.
Do I need to specify something within Plesk to enable it to write to another directory?

I have just used rsync to backup a dedicated server to a new cloud server. I put the files in a plesk webspace 'Backup' folder for ease of use (gui). In File Manager for that webspace it shows the folder user and group as root, which is obviously correct as rsync maintains users etc?
Thats fine, I just wanted to be able to back them up along with the rest of the server configuration and content.
However, when I run backup it says "For security reasons, backing up is performed on behalf of subscription's system user. This system user has no read access to:" and "So it was not backed up. All other data was backed up successfully. To fix this issue you may grant access read/write to the file or directory for system user "(username)" or "apache"."
I don't know how to give read/write access to the system user? Through file manager there is no option to change permissions.

If I am able to transfer at 10mbit, how long would that take for 800GB?
I suppose I need to install rsync on both servers.
How do I preserve directory structure, owner, permissions?
What is the exact command to type?

The backup program (cpbackup) that comes with WHM/Cpanel is not ideal for our current situation. We have lots of third party applications installed on our server along with many customized configuration files. We need a solution that will backup everything and allow for fairly simple restoration.
How viable is rsync for full server backups? Can it handle 100 GB of data?
More importantly, how would you restore the backup to a new server? If the new server already has an OS the restored files would break the system, right?

I want to run Rsync to sync a folder from an FTP server - which I have limited access too with my server.
1. Do I have to have rsync installed on the server with the FTP too, as I won't be able to do that as it is not my server.
2. Is Rsync easy enough to get up and running and set it to run every 24hours?

I have a linux server for a video sharring site
The video encoder that I prefer to use will only work in a windows enviorment
The windows server would pass off the converted video to the Linux server.
Will a Samba server for Linux allow a Linux machine to connect and share files with a Windows machine work for this application.
Although it's probably a dumb question but can Linux and Windows exist on the same server?

I am going to backup the whole server. (Rsync)
I understood it is not efficient to backup the local "backup" folder to avoid duplicated backups.
1. Should I exclude additional folders from the backup process?
2. I noticed it is familiar to exclude the "proc" folder also ... Why?
