rsync usage sample scripts

backup to a central backup server with 7 day incremental

#!/bin/sh

# This script does personal backups to a rsync backup server. You will end up
# with a 7 day rotating incremental backup. The incrementals will go
# into subdirectories named after the day of the week, and the current
# full backup goes into a directory called "current"
# tridge@linuxcare.com

# directory to backup
BDIR=/home/$USER

# excludes file - this contains a wildcard pattern per line of files to exclude
EXCLUDES=$HOME/cron/excludes

# the name of the backup machine
BSERVER=owl

# your password on the backup server
export RSYNC_PASSWORD=XXXXXX

BACKUPDIR=`date +%A`
OPTS="--force --ignore-errors --delete-excluded --exclude-from=$EXCLUDES
     --delete --backup --backup-dir=/$BACKUPDIR -a"

export PATH=$PATH:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin

# the following line clears the last weeks incremental directory
[ -d $HOME/emptydir ] || mkdir $HOME/emptydir
rsync --delete -a $HOME/emptydir/ $BSERVER::$USER/$BACKUPDIR/
rmdir $HOME/emptydir

# now the actual transfer
rsync $OPTS $BDIR $BSERVER::$USER/current

backup to a spare disk

I do local backups on several of my machines using rsync. I have an
extra disk installed that can hold all the contents of the main
disk. I then have a nightly cron job that backs up the main disk to
the backup. This is the script I use on one of those machines.

   #!/bin/sh

   export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin

   LIST="rootfs usr data data2"

   for d in $LIST; do
 mount /backup/$d
 rsync -ax --exclude fstab --delete /$d/ /backup/$d/
 umount /backup/$d
   done

   DAY=`date "+%A"`
  
   rsync -a --delete /usr/local/apache /data2/backups/$DAY
   rsync -a --delete /data/solid /data2/backups/$DAY

 

The first part does the backup on the spare disk. The second part
backs up the critical parts to daily directories.  I also backup the
critical parts using a rsync over ssh to a remote machine.

mirroring vger CVS tree

The vger.rutgers.edu cvs tree is mirrored onto cvs.samba.org via
anonymous rsync using the following script.

   #!/bin/bash

   cd /var/www/cvs/vger/
   PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/freeware/bin:/usr/bin:/bin

   RUN=`lps x | grep rsync | grep -v grep | wc -l`
   if [ "$RUN" -gt 0 ]; then
     echo already running
     exit 1
   fi

   rsync -az vger.rutgers.edu::cvs/CVSROOT/ChangeLog $HOME/ChangeLog

   sum1=`sum $HOME/ChangeLog`
   sum2=`sum /var/www/cvs/vger/CVSROOT/ChangeLog`

   if [ "$sum1" = "$sum2" ]; then
     echo nothing to do
     exit 0
   fi

   rsync -az --delete --force vger.rutgers.edu::cvs/ /var/www/cvs/vger/
   exit 0

Note in particular the initial rsync of the ChangeLog to determine if
anything has changed. This could be omitted but it would mean that the
rsyncd on vger would have to build a complete listing of the cvs area
at each run. As most of the time nothing will have changed I wanted to
save the time on vger by only doing a full rsync if the ChangeLog has
changed. This helped quite a lot because vger is low on memory and
generally quite heavily loaded, so doing a listing on such a large
tree every hour would have been excessive.

automated backup at home

I use rsync to backup my wifes home directory across a modem link each
night. The cron job looks like this

   #!/bin/sh
   cd ~susan
   {
   echo
   date
   dest=~/backup/`date +%A`
   mkdir $dest.new
   find . -xdev -type f \( -mtime 0 -or -mtime 1 \) -exec cp -aPv "{}"
   $dest.new \;
   cnt=`find $dest.new -type f | wc -l`
   if [ $cnt -gt 0 ]; then
     rm -rf $dest
     mv $dest.new $dest
   fi
   rm -rf $dest.new
   rsync -Cavze ssh . samba:backup
   } >> ~/backup/backup.log 2>&1


note that most of this script isn't anything to do with rsync, it just
creates a daily backup of Susans work in a ~susan/backup/ directory so
she can retrieve any version from the last week. The last line does
the rsync of her directory across the modem link to the host
samba. Note that I am using the -C option which allows me to add
entries to .cvsignore for stuff that doesn't need to be backed up.

Fancy footwork with remote file lists

One little known feature of rsync is the fact that when run over a
remote shell (such as rsh or ssh) you can give any shell command as
the remote file list. The shell command is expanded by your remote
shell before rsync is called. For example, see if you can work out
what this does:

 rsync -avR remote:'`find /home -name "*.[ch]"`' /tmp/

note that that is backquotes enclosed by quotes (some browsers don't
show that correctly).

"Music was created by God, as was every instrument, to be used to bring Him glory. We are commanded in the New Testament to 'sing and make melody with all our heart to the Lord and to address each other in psalms, hymns and spiritual songs' (Col. 3:16 and Eph. 5:19).”—Rick Heil, SONICFLOOd

It is this desire and belief that is central to the life and ministry of the Grammy-nominated worship band SONICFLOOd.

Having released eight albums since their debut in 1999, sold over two million records, and received numerous Dove awards and a Grammy nomination, SONICFLOOd’s brand of modern worship—including the hits “I Could Sing of Your Love Forever,” “Cry Holy,” and “Resonate,”—has made a major impact on worshippers all over the world. This impact and extensive coverage is sure to continue and grow with the band's new album, due out in 2008 on their own label, Resonate Records.
SONICFLOOd’s new release is a collection of love songs to The Creator of the Universe. “This album has found us on a journey of love to the Father’s heart. He never fails to reveal more of Himself as we press in to Him through our songs of praise,” states Heil. The album’s songs range from a corporate call to worship to the honest introspective song of confession. The song “You” speaks of the fear and grace that come when we try to completely open ourselves up to the Holy One. “Look To Love” is a song that encourages people to live passionate lives for Jesus and the song “Psalm 46” calls us to remember that The Lord is our ever-present help in every situation.

While excited to bring this new music to people here in the United States, SONICFLOOd remains committed to spreading God’s Word internationally, as well. To date, the band has toured India, Australia, the Bahamas, Brazil, Canada, Malaysia, Mexico, Northern Ireland, Singapore, South Africa, Switzerland, Thailand, Turkey and the United Kingdom.

At the heart of SONICFLOOd is a longing that transcends just making music; it is a longing to see people worship God wherever they are, geographically and spiritually. “We want to see people falling in love with Jesus Christ through this amazing vehicle and gift we call music. May we see greater revelation of just how much God loves His creation and then celebrate God’s love with our worship!” exclaims Heil.

In addition to this being the first release from their own label, the new album marks the first time that SONICFLOOd is letting fans become part of the project as Executive Producers. ‘We love our fans”, states Heil “and we want them to be involved in this project, including giving them the opportunity to the pick the album cover and album title!"
