I might be slow but that sounded like: "We have 1 site and want remote
backup" and if so 1 samba share and 1 rsync to remote backup site
without samba sounds like the solution you want. I guess I read it wrong
because that does not sound like the scenario described earlier.

Depends on the setup:

If Area1 is to be synced with Area2, it's no point in syncing Area2
back to Area1 immediatly after, they will be identical.

However, if you want to sync Area1 on BoxX to Area3 on BoxY and Area2 on
BoxY to Area4 on BoxX, then the jobs can run at the same time, since
they do not touch any of the others' areas:

Box1:/home/share1 -> Box2:/home/backup1
Box2:/home/share2 -> Box1:/home/backup2

The only issue will be the link speed.


kind regards
