[flexbackup-help] rsync and cpio

[Maher A. <sa...@mi...>]

I would like to use flexbackup to backup large filesystems to another
server filesystem. I have specified the copy option and that uses cpio.
The problem with cpio is that it fails with any file over 2GB. I
recompiled cpio with 64 option and that causes any file over 2GB to be
copied as 0 bytes.

Is there a way to get cpio to work for files over 2GB?

The other question, the online documentation of the configuration file
specify that it is possible to use copy and rsync for disk mode:
"'copy' or 'rsync' are extra options if running in archive-to-disk
mode."

But when I specify "rsync" it errors with option not supported. I have
downloaded and installed "RedHat 9 RPM: flexbackup-1.2.0-1.noarch.rpm".
How can I get rsync to work?

Thanks,

Mike
