At my company we're switching our main fileserver from a windows machine to a fedora machine. The old machine has a close to full 500gb data RAID, the new machine has a 1tb data RAID. What I'd like to do is rsync the data from the windows machine to the linux machine, so that when it comes time to deploy the new machine it will take less time to make sure it has the latest and greatest version of all the files. I know windows doesn't have an ssh server, but if I mounted the data RAID (which is a windows share) on the linux machine with samba could I just rsync from the mount folder to the linux machines local folder? Or is it more involved than that?
