I recently installed rsnapshot and trying to get it to do incremental backups. Now, I run first "rsnapshot alpha" and it creates alpha.0. Folder is 8GB



Then I add a 1 GB video file to the source folder. I would expect the next backup to only be 1GB but ...



after I run "rsnapshot alpha" again via cron job and it renames alpha.0 to alpha.1 - nothing strange here as this is what its meant to do - but the folder is 9GB (8GB original folder plus 1GB video file). That is not what I was expecting as this is going to eat into my storage rapidly.



Isn't the point of using rsnapshot that it allows you to save space by doing incremental backups?



Is this possibly to do with rsync_short_args and rsync_long_args in the rsnapshot.conf file?



Cheers






rsync rsnapshot

          Postfix configuration issue with fips on centos 7; mailgun relay

          Image
          Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 0 down vote favorite I am trying to setup postfix to relay all mail generated on the local machine via SMTP to a mailgun relay. I have used the mailgun relay before with success on an ubuntu server, but I am migrating to a Centos 7 server which I will be running in FIPS mode. There error log is below, slightly sanitized. I have a small enough network that I choose to have each machine reach out to mailgun individually (this the loopback-only, 127.0.0.0/8 restrictions) and no firewall open port allowing smtp in to the machine. I assume the FIPS mode (and with it disabling of MD5) is causing problems, but I don't know how to overcome it or if it is even possible for tls_fprint to use some supported hash such as sha256 or sha512. However, the relay=none is slightly concerning since I have relayhost set, but perhaps that is because the smtp process is failing? Any help would be appreciated! postconf -n: alias_database = hash:/etc/alia
