SPARSE IMAGE NETWORK MOUNT

[ashwin.patil]

Hi All

We are using the rsync service to backup all the servers/services. We take
the backup in a Lacie Disk which contains the “sparse images” [with
password] for the various servers/services. the Lacie is mounted on the
rsync server.

Now my question how to mount the “sparse images” when rsync starts the
backup and how to de mount when rsync finishes the backup.

The command “hdiutill attach” and “hdiutil detach” works fine but with the
local [rsync server] system, where as the rsync backup will be triggered by
the other [rsync client] systems.

Is there any way that I can mount and de mount the “sparse images” during the
backup…?

Please suggest.

Some clarification here…

You’re running rsync from a remote system, lets call this A, and hoping to back up the contents, not the actual file itself, of a disk image on another machine, let’s call this B.

Or am I off here?

Hi,

Yes ! exactly. I am taking the backup of Machine “A” [Some folders] in the Lacie disk connected to the other remote machine “B”.

Thanks
