how about unison - http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison but I doubt it can do any difference. Try updating your kernel to the latest version. and turn on mmapped IO in your kernel config. Use jumbo frames. Only if you are absolutely sure that both nics on your machines and devices(ie routers) between your boxes support it. If your ok with unencrypted backups across the network you can turn off ssh on rsync which will speed up the transfer. ed [!] http://i.keepsilent.net Professor at the University of my Living Room Sofa Senior Researcher of the Kitchen Refrigerator -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
