@JaredBusch : I'm not certain if this fits the bill, but what about the "diff" command? Of course, this does nothing to sync the files but does offer a way to simply compare the directories. diff -rs manxam jaredbusch This will get you : Files /home/manxam/TEST and /home/jaredbusch/TEST are identical Only in /home/manxam: i_am_manxam Only in /home/jaredbusch: you_are_jared

@jaredbusch said in Someone tell me WTF is wrong with my rync skills this morning: tired or stupid or something this morning.. works perfectly when one specifies the correct data directory on the source. /home/owncloud/data/ sent 1764471 bytes received 178175 bytes 56308.58 bytes/sec total size is 148236697158 speedup is 76306.59 (DRY RUN) I hate that. You always have a few outliers before you standardize on things and they are always the gotchas. This has happened to me on many occasions.

@scottalanmiller Replacement as (rather than use vanilla rsync) I'll go with this version.

I've used rsnapshot a good bit and it's a really nice tool for simple backups.

@DustinB3403 said in CentOS rsync between servers using keyfile to pass credentials: Nevermind, seems to work when I don't bother telling the system to use the authorized key. That IS kinda the idea. ssh just handles that for you, even when called from another program like rsync.

@DustinB3403 said in Doubt on a script- Backup site & DB: @Ambarishrh You're welcome, sorry I didn't have the exact answer for you. But that really helped me to find the right solution

Has this one reached a conclusion? Should we close it out?
