The Unix Archive

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.

Rsync Access

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	284M
UA_Distributions	Unix distributions	1.9G
UA_Documentation	Unix documentations	920M
UA_Tools	Tools to work on old systems	20M

You can use rsync to mirror each section. To mirror the complete archive, you would issue the following commands:

mkdir Applications Distributions Documentation Tools

rsync -avz minnie.tuhs.org::UA_Root   .
rsync -avz minnie.tuhs.org::UA_Applications     Applications
rsync -avz minnie.tuhs.org::UA_Distributions    Distributions
rsync -avz minnie.tuhs.org::UA_Documentation    Documentation
rsync -avz minnie.tuhs.org::UA_Tools            Tools
