Isn't there any smart way to use the rsync protocol for deduplicated pulling? It is the one program available nearly everywhere.Ĭan't you emulate the chunking process out of the information rsync gives you? There is no binary provided.Īfter reading around the net, the lack of a nice pull functionality is the major problem why people don't use borgbackup.

If you really meant the algorithm, not the protocol, feel free to change the title back. You cannot make use of librsync to talk to an rsync server. If you want to talk to an rsync server to transfer files you'll need to shell out to rsync. Librsync does not implement the rsync wire protocol. Edit: I found one implementation of the protocol: (licensed under RPL, not sure if it would be possible to use it) I'm not sure if there actually is any implementation other than rsync itself. However, this protocol is not implemented by librsync. This would be quite a useful feature indeed. Using the rsync protocol on the other hand would allow to pull backups from any host where rsync is installed and usable over SSH (or where the rsync daemon is running).

Using the rsync algorithm (this is what librsync implements) wouldn't make any difference if we still can't install Borg on the other end (because we would still need Borg on the other end, or some other software with a protocol Borg understands, that calculates the delta diffs).
We can use Python Wheels if we would like to save end user from any installation steps of librsync. Suggestion: we can adapt librsync (, ) or tools, which use librsync ( ) as suggested in this blog article (it may be faster to implement and later replace rdiff-backup dependency to librsync dependency). Problem: if we can not install borg client on target server, we can use sshfs to connect to this server but it take extremely long time to backup something from this server, it's impossible to wait some days for completing backup operation, another solution is split backup task to two subtasks: rsync to local folder, backup to borg repository from this local folder, in this case we need double disk space (we need space for local folder and for borg repository), so it's not good solution too. He pointed out the drives do more than just boot the servers, they also store log files and temporary files produced by the servers, and so each SSD will read, write, and delete files depending on the activity of the server during the day.Short description: adapt rsync algorithm to service us. In a blog post detailing the latest probing, Backblaze cloud storage evangelist Andy Klein said the SSDs are all used as boot drives in the firm's storage servers, and that Backblaze only began using SSDs this way from Q4 of 2018. The 2021 Drive Stats report was published in February.
Backblaze said it will initially publish the SSD edition twice a year, but that this may change depending on how valuable readers find it. The cloud storage and backup provider publishes quarterly and annual Drive Stat reports, which focused exclusively on rotating hard drives until last year. Backblaze has published the first SSD edition of its regular drive statistics report, which appears to show that flash drives are as reliable as spinning disks, although with surprising failure rates for some models.
