🥥 Eye have a bit of dyslexia going on, so I often have trouble parsing #Linux #Terminal commands.
Using #rsync without a GUI was beyond me.
Then I discovered #LuckyBackup -- a GUI for rsync that was understandable to me.
I'm currently using it to move files from old hard drives to my new M2 drive in my new desktop.
Boy, is it fast!
This may be what YOU'VE been looking for if other options have not felt comfortable.
PS: I found the non-super-user version looks better on my monitor. 🥥

Ok, so this seems like an obvious thing, but is there a better `cp` and `mv` command for #linux , I want something that shows progress and speed etc. I know I can use #rsync but that seems like overkill

I thought I've seen a #talk where they said they use #rsync in the background, but don't find it anymore...

Following #forensic practices, I imaged everything in sight with #safecopy: harddrives, CDs, DVDs, USB keys. Took some time because one laptop had a known faulty #Toshiba 1TB harddrive (that my father lost some work on already).
Then I wrote a script to mount the images read-only, and #rsync interesting files for easier access. Made it #idempotent so I could modify rsync filters and run the script again.

Sure, scp works well.
#rsync is something I use to sync hdd's with.

#rsync all the way 😉
(On #Windows via #cygwin)

I pretty much only trust #rsync for moving data - never had any issues

#rsync to and fro

#backups

I finally managed to connect from my Windows laptop to my #linux desktop through ssh 💪 😁

Now, I have to figure out how to get #rsync running over ssh. It throws an error "connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes sent so far)", which might have to do with the MSYS installation of rsync 🤔

I have a new Emacs post!
It's mostly just to boast.
But not as gauche as a gloat.
I just want techies to take note! 😀

Today I learned how to rsync with a user different than the one connected to the remote:

#Rsync
What I'm looking for is "What are the ways this mechanism can go wrong?"

I think I need to understand the mechanism better to be sure it's not going to land me in a heap of trouble.

#AskFedi #Rsync

Hmm.

How does rsync *know* that a file has "changed"?

Relative to what?

Does it keep track of when it was last run?

Is there some kind of hidden file that it's using? Is it marking the files somehow?

Or does "changed" just mean "relative to the destination"?

And if it's that, then why is there an "update" option?

The man page is kind of vague on this.

Just want to make sure I'm not going to accidentally destroy important data.

Why is there a ton of complex distributed #filesystem's and a bunch of p2p file sync solutions, and, of course, bunch of automagically sharding and object stores,

But not a single one well-maintained simple solution for one-way live filesystem #replication (that I could find)?

Is it just not what super serious "high availability" #devops people ever need or what.

I just want a live copy of everything I have on a server on another server. Currently using #Syncthing for that but even that feels like way too many failure modes for what is basically #rsync in a loop.

Thinking of building a basic thing that hooks into fanotify and maintains an append-only log of changes and hashes, and plays those back to the replica client over ssh or tls.

Can't help but feel I'm missing something crucial that would make it fail in a major way. Surely it can't be that simple.

Alright so I decided to format the memory stick, after copying the save data and plugins, and I'll just add the games, starting with PS1, 13 GB being copied via #rsync, good progress so far :P

Ich bin gerade dabei, auf ein neues #NAS aufzurüsten. Das in die Jahre gekommen warf immer mehr Fehler und da wollte ich auf Nummer sicher gehen, bevor aus Fehlern Defekte werden. Die #Datenübertragung von alt auf neu stellt sich mal wieder als Herausforderung dar. Am Ende hilft mir dafür die #SSH-Konsole und #rsync aus der Patsche. Die Übertragung über die Web-Oberfläche bringt das NAS zu sehr ins Schwitzen. #synology
