Hello. Anyone using rsnapshot for backups? I posted this question on the |
2 |
rsnapshot list, but haven't gotten any response. Figured I'd give it a |
3 |
shot here. |
4 |
|
5 |
I'm running rsnapshot 1.29 on a gentoo box, backing up a remote gentoo |
6 |
server. I recently moved my server to a new machine. After switching the |
7 |
domain name to point at the new machine, I found that files and |
8 |
directories from the old machine are still in my daily.0 backup each |
9 |
morning. They are mixed with the new files and directories. |
10 |
|
11 |
My rsync_long_args are: |
12 |
|
13 |
rsync_long_args --delete --numeric-ids --relative \ |
14 |
--delete-excluded --ignore-errors |
15 |
|
16 |
|
17 |
and I see these args in the log. |
18 |
|
19 |
The backup does finish with warnings, but it almost always does... it's |
20 |
hard to backup a mail directory tree without something changing! But, |
21 |
ignore_errors is supposed to override that and delete anyway right? |
22 |
|
23 |
Hoping someone can help because it looks like my old and new file |
24 |
systems will remain intermingled forever at this rate... effectively |
25 |
making the backup useless (or at least a major pain to restore). |
26 |
|
27 |
I was thinking about deleting everything under the server's directory in |
28 |
daily.0. That should pull everything fresh right? Sucks to have to pull |
29 |
all the files again, but I'm not seeing any other way right now. |

Thanks, |
