The Unix Archive is available via various protocols from several sites. We would love to have more mirrors of this archive. If you could provide a mirror of this site, please let Warren Toomey know.
The Unix Archive can also be accessed via an rsync server on minnie.tuhs.org. See the rsync web page for details on how to obtain a client.
The rsync access is divided into a number of categories in order to ease the load on the Unix Archive server. The categories are:
Name | Holds | Size (Megs) |
UA_Root | root files | 5M |
UA_Applications | Applications directory | 65M |
UA_4BSD | 4BSD directory | 371M |
UA_PDP11 | PDP-11 directory | 479M |
UA_PDP11_Trees | PDP-11/Trees directory | 97M |
UA_VAX | VAX directory | 5M |
UA_Other | Other directory | 6M |
You can use rsync to mirror each section. To mirror the complete archive, you would issue the following commands:
mkdir Applications 4BSD PDP-11 PDP-11/Trees VAX Other rsync -avz minnie.tuhs.org::UA_Root . rsync -avz minnie.tuhs.org::UA_Applications Applications rsync -avz minnie.tuhs.org::UA_4BSD 4BSD rsync -avz minnie.tuhs.org::UA_PDP11 PDP-11 rsync -avz minnie.tuhs.org::UA_PDP11_Trees PDP-11 rsync -avz minnie.tuhs.org::UA_VAX VAX rsync -avz minnie.tuhs.org::UA_Other Other
