Get rsyncing working to MPD backup drives #238

Closed stillwer closed 5 years ago

stillwer commented 5 years ago

The rsyncing of the python child from the main data directory to the backup drive needs to be checked. It has been turned off because it never really worked after Brad left. Need to look into this so we have a good spare of all the data on the MPD system.

Rsyncing working on MPD05. Wasn't working for the following reasons: 1) Paths were not in the format that cwrsync needs...wrote a function stored in sharedpythonfunction.py that sorts that out. 2) The absolute path to the rsyncing function changed (it was installed twice on cuttlefish and the second was used) 3) Brad seems to have defined a shortcut called "rsync" that does not exist any more. Not sure where or what that is but it is no longer needed.

Finally, I removed incorrect comments about cwrsync not working on 2 remote drives. Seems to work just fine for me.

Setting up rsync backups on MPD02 and MPD04. Will get all of those guys running the new python code after the initial setup to maintain the backup and test its longterm stability.

I believe this is now working on MPD 02, 04, and 05. I will close this issue and plan to add it to the list of things to do at setup for the new MFF computers on MPD 01 and 03.
