Were's the log files for Rsync?
I have rsync backup my primary drive every other night just to test right now. My problem is I can't tell what it's backing up. I tried looking for the log file /var/log/rsync.log as the config file says, but can't find it. Am I missing something here? This is the command I'm running in cron: /usr/bin/rsync -auzr --delete / /mnt/root2/ Thanks, Tom

Why not add a > <path and name of file> to your cron job and place the log wherever you want. Pretty standard 'nix stuff. Or use the 'mail' option of cron..... man cron -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.

Looks to me like you didn't ask for anything to be listed. Go back and 'man rsync' too..... -v, --verbose This option increases the amount of information you are given during the transfer. By default, <<rsync works silently.>> A single -v will give you information about what files are being transferred and a brief summary at the end. Two -v flags will give you information on what files are being skipped and slightly more information at the end. More than two -v flags should only be used if you are debugging rsync. You asked the same question twice without doing your homework.... http://www.tbaisd.k12.mi.us/webconnect/login/login.asp -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.
