Hi LUG, I'm helping a friend set up a sort of backup solution. He's got a co-located Linux web server, and a Linux file server in his office behind a firewall. I set up an rsync script to synchronize (pull) all the web files down at night. The problem is that it's dying about 25% of the way through. From the log error output it appears that since rsync can sometimes take a bit of time, something happens to the network connection during the sync and drops the connection. This is the closest explanation I could find: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg14422.html
So, what's a good alternate backup strategy? Goals are: * Mirror the directories on remote server periodically. * Would be nice to only pull down differences to save bandwidth but at this point it's not a priority.
