Hello, Has anyone tried out the enhancements of rsync 3.0 yet? "The 3.0.0 version number is such a large bump up from 2.6.9 due to the addition of an incremental recursion scan (which helps a lot wit

It won't until File::RsyncP is updated to work with this new protocol version. You can use BackupPC with clients that have rsync 3 installed, but they will just negotiate an older protocol version. N

I think, youcan do that yourself, can't you? 1) Update your server to rsync 3.01 2) Update your clients to rsync 3.01 3) Use the appropriate options in the transfer-configuration of backuppc. Greetin

Hello, just, to get it right: It's not a rsync implementation in Backuppc, but in perl (CPAN), right? Why isn't backuppc using the binary? Greetings, Hendrik Von: pcmantz AT gmail DOT com [mailto:pcm
To be clear, BackupPC needs lower-level access to the rsync protocol in order to interface with the pool correctly. File::RsyncP was written specifically to support BackupPC, and to current knowledge
Hello Hendrik, rsync v3.0 does offer a lot of good features that will affect performance, but it is not usable out of the box. BackupPC has its own implementation of the rsync algorithm, the File::Rs
The configurations options are a bit misleading. Rsync's implementation in BackupPC is pretty complicated. BackupPC uses the rsync binary to initiate the transfer, but then uses File::RsyncP to handl

The incremental-recursion algorithm would be a huge win for a lot of our backups, in particular for doing backups of larger mail servers that have MailDir as the store. Is there any plan for migratin
it has been asked before, and i believe the answer was that backuppc is coded to use rsync2.x and will only speak that and not use any of the new features. hopefully 3.2 will include rsync3 support.

Yes. Because BackupPC does a lot of stuff differently than plain rsync. It's not just "rsync client->server, pool files", there is a lot more going on (like storing file attributes in fattrib files,

It is a module in CPAN but written to be used by backuppc. It runs the native binary on the remote side so you don't need any special setup on the targets, but on the server side the files are stored
