I do something very similar to this with MRTG and Routers2 using the rrd-archive utility (only really useful for MRTG/RRD so probably not for you).
I'm also working on a patch to rrdtool 1.4.4-trunk that allows rrdcached to be 'quiesced' temporarily --send it a pause command and a subsequent unpause -- for backup/archive purposes. Its working in test at the moment but I've not pushed it into prod here or submitted the patch to Tobi yet.

Not a bad idea! Do you know how rrdcache would handle copying a rrd file while it's running. What if say a update is happening on that file when the copy command is issued. I know i could stop rrdcache but i could be copying 10000 files and thats a good amount of time the rrdcache daemon would be down. -- Shaun R _______________________________________________ rrd-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.oetiker.ch/cgi-bin/listinfo/rrd-users _______________________________________________ rrd-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.oetiker.ch/cgi-bin/listinfo/rrd-users
