A while back one of my drives went and I realized that the rsync backups had actually copied corrupted files to the backup. I also had a case where files were deleted on backup before they were successfully copied (they had been moved on the source). I fixed the second problem with a different set of rsync options, but I don’t know how the first problem could be solved without some sort of validation.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>Vern<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'> Digikam-users [mailto:digikam-users-bounces@kde.org] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Michael<br><b>Sent:</b> Monday, June 6, 2016 1:39 PM<br><b>To:</b> digiKam - Home Manage your photographs as a professional with the power of open source <digikam-users@kde.org><br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [Digikam-users] what do you use for backups?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>I rsync /home/Documents to a thumb drive and /home/Pictures to another<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>On Mon, Jun 6, 2016 at 12:52 PM, Gilles Caulier <<a href="mailto:caulier.gilles@gmail.com" target="_blank">caulier.gilles@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<o:p></o:p></p><blockquote style='border:none;border-left:solid #CCCCCC 1.0pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 6.0pt;margin-left:4.8pt;margin-right:0in'><div><p class=MsoNormal>At home, i use a NAS connected to 100Mb ethernet through power supply. An rsync script synchronize at 4:00AM a copy from host computer to the NAS using a smb mount (300Gb). You just need to take a care about the SMB mount options for file naming (UTF8, long file name, rights. etc...) The NAS can be acceded through WIKI by a MAC and a Windows to show images through FS. The NAS support also UPNP, so you can display image with a tablets or a phone.<o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Gilles Caulier<o:p></o:p></p></div></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>2016-06-06 18:39 GMT+02:00 Daniel Bauer <<a href="mailto:linux@daniel-bauer.com" target="_blank">linux@daniel-bauer.com</a>>:<o:p></o:p></p><blockquote style='border:none;border-left:solid #CCCCCC 1.0pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 6.0pt;margin-left:4.8pt;margin-right:0in'><p class=MsoNormal><br><br>Am 06.06.2016 um 16:37 schrieb Michael Fierro:<br>> Dropbox!
