>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2/9/2006 5:44:54 PM >>> Hi all Anyone got any ideas for a "best practice" for backup of linux servers to increase performance?? Typically the backup will be done over WAN links of 2-100 Mbit. I'm thinking TCPWINDOWSIZE, TCPBUFFSIZE etc... is the default values good enough? Or do I have to fine tune here?
