Re: [Duplicity-talk] Resume rsync to rsync.net

[Tyler Ham]

Hi,

I think what you are describing is some expected behavior with rsync by default. It waits to write to the destination file until it has assembled all of that file's content in a temporary file on the destination server. So if you Ctrl-C, the actual destination file hasn't been touched yet and rsync will have to start over on that file next time.

The rsync command line has an '--inplace' option that tells it to write directly to the destination file instead of using a temporary file, in which case it should resume the way you want it to after a Ctrl+C or a network outage.

You might try duplicity with --rsync-options="--inplace" and see if that works for your use case.

Hi guys

Im using the following command to sync to rsync.net

 

duplicity /mnt/data/E4310-2/170403-2330/ rsync://address@hiddennet:

 

That folder is pretty big,, my uploads speed are about 10 Mbits (limited on my side).

I was testing what happen if the Internet goes down in the middle of the transfer, so I waited until there were 200 MB on the destination and I did Ctrl+C .

The file on the destination disappeared, and now when I try the same command again I get:

 

=======================

Local and Remote metadata are synchronized, no sync needed.

Last full backup left a partial set, restarting.

Last full backup date: Sat Apr 22 00:48:31 2017

GnuPG passphrase:

Retype passphrase to confirm:

RESTART: The first volume failed to upload before termination.

         Restart is impossible...starting backup from beginning.

=======================

 

 

 

Does duplicity have capabilities for resume a transfer that was cut in the middle?

Any advice? (My internet is not that reliable, and the backup set will be pretty big, specially the first time)

 

 

Thanks

Dotty
