I enjoyed #rsync remote file completions for a while, but I upgraded to #Fedora 44 and now it chokes a few directories deep into the path :( I suspect some #bash expert failed on a whitespace inside the directory.

Ich bräuchte mal Schwarmintelligenz. Weiß jemand, unter welchem Pfad ich auf einem #UGREEN #NAS die freigegebenen Verzeichnisse des #rsync Servers erhalte? Ich will auf meinem Notebook sowas in dieser Form laufen lassen, weiß aber nicht, wie ich auf die Freigaben zugreife:
"rsync -av USER@IPADRESSE:/IRGENDEINEFREIGABE/ /Sicherungsverzeichnis "

Have published new -rc3 of #foxing ; the tl;dr is I fixed a selinux and permisions/gid:uid preservation behavior that differed from #rsync / expected outcome in the standalone fxcp tool, and did a crap-load more testing over the last month or so in real-world situations. Other than that a couple of other doc/code hygiene things only. https://codeberg.org/aenertia/foxing/releases/tag/v0.9.5-rc3 #linux #filesystem

@argv_minus_one

Thanks for the info, so I can delete this from my list.

I'm restructuring my #backup strategies at the moment and I think I will use plain #rsync to copy my #QNAP #NAS to a hetzner storage box.

I wish #rsync had a flag --delete-target-before-copy-if-a-copy-is-deemed-necessary

I couldn't convince rsync to just copy stuff into a #gitAnnex repository (with "locked" symlinks to readonly or even nonexistant targets), as it would die if the links are broken or readonly...

Backup hack of the day. Don't want to store the database dump on the server, but you can't mysqldump directly to rsync. Luckily the rsync server has dd installed so I just pipe it through ssh running `dd of="<path>"`. 🫰

I made a full circle on large data #backup options and am now back to #rsync. The difference is that I’m now much more confident at running headless data sync by cron.

Data origin -> DAS -> #Hetzner Storage Box

It looks like 3-2-1, and I’m now all set to migrate my family from #iCloud to #Immich and #OpenCloud.

Also, the DAS is #exFAT, which allows my siblings to just detach it from my #homelab to have data exported in case of my sudden disappearance by any reason.

Ich mache jetzt seit einiger Zeit Backups mittels rsync, und habe durch eine Datenrückspielaktion ;) von mehreren Festplatten auch viele Dateien mehrfach gehabt. Wirklich viele.
Gestern habe ich dann mal angefangen die ganzen doppelten zu entfernen, und ich muss sagen es hat sich gelohnt.
Habe mich schon selber erschrocken. 😂
