Hi all,
is there a way to rotate files older than 365 days (1 year) with rsync?
i've found this on the internet
find /home/nkumar/eur/ -type f -mtime +7 -printf %P\\0 | rsync --files-from=- --from0 /home/nkumar/eur/ /home/nkumar/chk/ --remove-sent-files
but i guess it will not work on eCS/AOS
Why not?
any idea?
at the moment i'm using a rexx that moves files older than 1year to a 2nd partition
but when this server will be moved inside a VM i can't use anymore this procedure
since i don't want the VM size to grow too much
what i'd need is to use rsync from another server (on bare metal) that moves older
than 1 year files to a removable drive
If you run the above from sh (assuming sh is symlinked or otherwise pointed to dash), I don't see a particular reason why the above wouldn't work, or the suggestion here:
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/543313/rsync-combined-with-find-and-mtime
Our findutils find supports mtime, so unless there is a specific error being returned on the command line (for rsync, try the dry-run option to test), I don't see what would not work.
