What about files changing?
Sorry I'm a little late on this discussion - but if the original poster is watching, I'd like to hear your response.
What about files changing?
Just set up the cron job to run rsync at a time the user isn't likely to be there. Also, this puts rsync bandwidth usage to an idle time. For example, use a time between 1 AM and 5 AM.
What about files changing?
I don't think files changing is an issue here since (correct me if I'm wrong) no files or directories will ever change in a TM backup. TM will only add new files or directories (or hard links) and remove expired ones. What I think could happen is that you might only get a partial copy of the latest backup in the event TM is currently doing its work but that should be fixed with the next rsync.
What about files changing?
From what I can tell, as the other person said, Time Machine only adds and deletes and doesn't change any files in the backup. And you should probably schedule your rsync for after hours and since no files should be changing when the user isn't there, TM shouldn't interfere with the rsync. But if someone with more knowledge than me can post the commands to check if TM is currently backing up, wait until it's finished, turn it off, run the rsync command, then turn TM back on, I'll gladly add it. I would like to be sure also that the backups are solid. |
