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:

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.
Rob,
What error message are you getting and what command line options are
you using? Does it stop on the same file each time or after the same
amount of transfer each time? (i.e. is there any discernible pattern?).
