Windows 2000 resource kit has a command line tool called robocopy.exe. It has a ton of switches that enable mirroring, exclusions, and various other options. I use it at home via the windows scheduler to mirror 80gb drives (including mp3's) betweeen computers. Never had a problem. If you don't have access to the resource kit I can email it to you.
Don't know anything about the linux side of it as I've just recently made it passed the install stage. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of bp Sent: 02 January, 2003 12:10 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [TriLUG] Mirroring solutions for Samba shares? Well if anyone followed my earlier emails about '\rm -fr'ing 4gb unintentionally you'll understand why this question came about. I'm looking to accurately mirror a Windows files system on to my Red Hat server as a means of redundancy. In the past I've seen Windows share copying as unreliable since several mp3s always seem to get munched in the transfer. This makes me apprehensive about scripting my own smbmount kind of solution. I can't afford a tape or hardware solution for a 20GB backup. But I do have plenty of disk on both sides. Are their any recommended mirroring programs for this type of application? Ways to make samba transfer more accurate? Thanks, bp _______________________________________________ TriLUG mailing list http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ: http://www.trilug.org/~lovelace/faq/TriLUG-faq.html _______________________________________________ TriLUG mailing list http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ: http://www.trilug.org/~lovelace/faq/TriLUG-faq.html
