something better then rsync for duplicating systems ... ?
I have two servers, one of them a backup of the other ... right now, I'm using rsync to do it, but since rsync has to traverse both servers file systems to do its comparison, it puts a good load on the system, and takes awhile to run ... So, are there any better tools I could be using, instead of rsync? Thanks ... Marc G.

You could reduce that overhead by running rsync multiple times, each run doing a different subset of the total filesystem. (not that this is a great solution, but I did this when setting up a similar arrangement some time ago, and splitting up the amount done by any single rsync did seem to help) -- Garance Alistair Drosehn= [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Systems Programmer or [EMAIL PROTECTED] Rensselaer Polytechnic Instituteor [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
