Create rsync_failure_codes option.
User may optionally create a file rsync_failure_codes with a newline-separated list of rsync return codes that are to be regarded as complete failure. If rsync exits with such a code, then the backup will be marked for deletion during the next ccollect run (if delete_incomplete). I added documentation for this feature in doc/ccollect.text In my experience (yours may differ), two rsync exit codes that belong in this file are 12 and 255. I have seen 12 result from ssh errors and 255 result from a kernel module conflict. In both cases, the resulting backups were empty. Without the rsync_failure_codes option, such errors cause good backups to be deleted, as per c_interval, leaving behind the new empty backups. In the long run, we may want a different and more comprehensive method for analyzing rsync errors. In the short run, I find this option necessary.

Detailed description of "rsync_failure_codes"
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
If you have the file `rsync_failure_codes` in your source configuration
|
||||
directory, it should contain a newline-separated list of numbers representing
|
||||
rsync exit codes. If rsync exits with any code in this list, a marker will
|
||||
be left in the destination directory indicating failure of this backup. If
|
||||
you have enabled delete_incomplete, then this backup will be deleted during
|
||||
the next ccollect run on the same interval.
