Let me assume: -- want to share a database, and keep it up to date -- NOT in the same physical location -- NOT on the same physical network -- automatically What we have is not automatic yet, but will be soon. This is based on the wiki pages describing a "hot standby". One machine is the master. Other machines at the same site share the SQL and file system as documented, but that is not what you asked about. On the master: 1. "Save" the database. 2. Maintain a clone of /var/snd with ogg-vorbis compression, keeping the ".wav" file extension. For each other site: 1. "restore" the database from the master. 2. "Rsync" /var/snd to the compressed version. Repeat when you want to synchronize. The initial setup takes a lot of net time, but subsequent incremental updates are reasonable and can be done at a slack time. Initially, we set the ogg quality to "3" to transfer it quickly. Someday I will change it to "8", a little at a time, for better audio quality. Actually, even "3" is better than most mp3's, and smaller. _______________________________________________ Rivendell-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.rivendellaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev
