Rsync replaced with openrsync on macOS Sequoia

What do you think about that new #design of the about dialog?

https://github.com/bit-team/backintime/pull/2082

Starting with version 0.2.7, my https://github.com/gokrazy/rsync uses the Landlock Linux kernel security module to restrict file system access to the transfer source/destination as a defense-in-depth measure!

This is similar to OpenBSD’s unveil(2).

Check out my new video on #rsync for #backups over on the @editor #youtube channel.

was würde ich nur ohne #rsync machen.

I wrote up a post about how I get around silly macOS security stuff to run rsync jobs from cron by embedding shell commands inside of Automator applications...

I forgot you can't just run a shell script with rsync calls via cron on macOS because of... security. I think my workaround will do though.

I write a shell script and then create an Automator application that calls the shell script. I then add a cron job to open the application.

I need to check if it runs when the screen is locked. I'm pretty sure it does but I will test again.

Did you know? My https://github.com/gokrazy/rsync module can be used as a library — both its client and its server accept the io.ReadWriter interface type :)

To demonstrate that this works and to show the flexibility this enables, I put together an rsync-over-gRPC demo:

https://github.com/stapelberg/rsync-over-grpc

To be clear, this isn’t starting the samba rsync program in the background or anything like that; it’s a 100% Go implementation; memory-safe and fast! Standalone and cross-architecture!

I can never remember whether I want

rsync -a --info=progress2

or

rsync -a --progress=info2

Like a USB cable, I always do it wrong the first time and then do it right.
#Linux #CLI #rsync #sysadmin

The rsync manpage claims there are two different ways to use rsync, and then explains that there are two exceptions.

After studying the code, I think it’s clearer to think about 4 ways to use rsync, as I try to show in this diagram.

In this small blog post I want to show how you can setup a backup task (Rsync Task) in TrueNAS while preserving the file permissions and ownership on the destination system.

What backup system for Linux is most like Apple's Time Machine backup?

I've seen a few posts about using rsync for a "Time Machine" like experience, but I'm wondering what people actually use.
