I read in DFly digest about changes in cpdup for remote incremental backup as rsync and other tools.
I would know if the cpdup method for remote synchronization is different from other method. In fact, there a lot of tools for remote incremental backup. A remote synchronization implemented in kernel space is a very good idea to support high availability clustering. The problem of rsync is that it don't provide a good synchronization when there are more then two computer. Rsync is the better choice only when there are two computers. In my opinion: 1) cpdup should be easy to use already a number of computer superior at two 2) cpdup should allow to synchronize a lot of computers at the same time, keeping the same perfomance as when there are only two computers 3) it could be interesting to compare the different protocols and methods, then to implement the better method for remote synchonization Below I writed some web page for alternative rsync tools: 1) zsync, http://zsync.moria.org.uk/ 2) tsync, http://zsync.moria.org.uk/ 3) rdist, http://www.magnicomp.com/rdist/ (rdist is a tool used in HP-UX) Best regards, Saverio __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
