Question about using Luckybackup's (rsync) remote-ssh backup option
by road hazard from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6K208)
I'm using Debian 12 and have my main server, and a backup server. Both in the same house. Over the years, I've been backing up the main server to the secondary server and in total, I'm dealing with about 60TB worth of data.
I want to physically relocate the backup server to my brother's house and keep things humming along and just doing incremental backups.
When I did a simulated run in Luckybackup, I put a check mark in the 'use remote host/ssh' box. It looks like Lucky wants to copy over all 322,469 files as if they don't exist on the secondary server:
Code:Number of files: 322,469 (reg: 310,700, dir: 11,769)
Number of created files: 322,469 (reg: 310,700, dir: 11,769)
Number of deleted files: 0
Number of regular files transferred: 310,700
Total file size: 60.40T bytes
Total transferred file size: 60.40T bytes
Literal data: 0 bytes
Matched data: 0 bytes
File list size: 8.13M
File list generation time: 43.852 seconds
File list transfer time: 0.000 seconds
Total bytes sent: 9.10M
Total bytes received: 973.87K
sent 9.10M bytes received 973.87K bytes 135.17K bytes/sec
total size is 60.40T speedup is 5,997,501.35 (DRY RUN)
execution of task : Daily, finished =====================================If I do a simulated run with the 'use remote host/ssh' box NOT CHECKED: (this is the way I've been using it over the years), it sees no new files to copy:
Code:Number of files: 322,469 (reg: 310,700, dir: 11,769)
Number of created files: 0
Number of deleted files: 0
Number of regular files transferred: 0
Total file size: 60.40T bytes
Total transferred file size: 0 bytes
Literal data: 0 bytes
Matched data: 0 bytes
File list size: 8.13M
File list generation time: 0.871 seconds
File list transfer time: 0.000 seconds
Total bytes sent: 9.10M
Total bytes received: 973.47K
sent 9.10M bytes received 973.47K bytes 28.66K bytes/sec
total size is 60.40T speedup is 5,994,235.19 (DRY RUN)
execution of task : Daily, finished =====================================...... so it looks like using that remote/ssh option is making Lucky thinks it needs to copy EVERYTHING. Is there a way to turn on remote/ssh backup and prevent that? Or just because of how rsync works over ssh, it won't "see" the same, existing files already on the destination?
