Rsync Options
machine. Backup server trigger a script that use rysnc command. Here is the command I use rsync -rltvh --partial --stats --exclude=.beagle/ --exclude=.* --delete-after root@live_server:/home/ /home/live_server_backup/home >> /tmp/logfile.log 2>&1 live_server is ssh-able without password. So it works. Now problem is with --delete-after option After all file synced .At the end I can see deletion procedure skipped.logfile error is like IO error encountered -- skipping file deletion When i tried to find log there were some error while file sync rsync: send_files failed to open "/home/xyz/Desktop/PPT_session_1_context.pdf": Permission denied (13) So my understanding is as rsync could not read all the files from target for safety reason it is skipping the file deletion. Is there any way to make --delete-after work even if there is some permission error? I do not want to use force deletion as it will be dangerous in some situation. permissions delete rsync share|improve this question asked Dec 7 '12 at 3:29 Jam88 86224 3 Pssst, accept an answer! –SickAnimations Aug 5 '14 at 4:06 1 Pssst again...

DistroUbuntu Gnome 14.04 Trusty Tahr rsync: problem with --delete Hello dears, I am trying to use rsync as a backup tool I am using this command Code: rsync -a -v --progress --delete home external_hd the problem is that while the command changes update files on the destination, it doesn't delete the files removed from source, so everything removed from destination still appears on the destination. I thought the option --delete should have done the job. Could somebody help me?

If so, it will not go into the delete phase. Try piping the output to a log file, like so: rsync blah blah blah 2>&1 |

I'm a Linux newbie. After digging through Internet I was able to write my own backup script, using rsync for syncing files between NAS hard drive and external USB drives, and with CRON for running this script periodically. Everything was fine until few days before. E-mails generated by backup script started containing information IO error encountered -- skipping file i o error deletion for many resources (folders) being backed up. When I run the very same script via SSH I got a lot of error lines saying "cannot send file with empty name in...", followed by "rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors)". 100% of content I'm backing-up comes from Windows (I use NAS only to backup my own computers). This system does not allows to create a file with empty name. This problem exists for only few days and I was not modyfing my backups for over a few weeks (vacation). So this has to be Linux (on-board my NAS) issue. Question is: what can cause files to appear with empty names? How can I get rid of them (when I cd to folder mentioned in rsync report, and do ls -ls, I see nothing like "file with an empty name"), so next rsync pass would end up without such errors. And finally -- how to avoid getting such files in future? rsync linux-kernel share|improve this question asked Jul 4 '12 at 10:37 trejder 2671420 1 Please add some more details to your question. Copy the script into the question and give us the filenames that rsync doesn't like. –jippie Jul 4 '12 at 16:56 @jippie: (1) Script is to long to paste, and this is not necessary. It is really simple. It contains only: preparation of text file, serie of calls to rsync (like that
