yes, the task is similar to what drbd does. But for nightly incremental backup, drbd would be overkill. It's called "RAID1 over network"! Rsync is slow and consumes much CPU. Incremental backup software can't cope with big files AFAIK. Nilfs could fill that gap perfectly. - Have database / virtual machines / etc. on nilfs - Do a nightly or hourly "nsync" to a remote mirror Regards, Pierre Beck _______________________________________________ users mailing list [email protected] https://www.nilfs.org/mailman/listinfo/users
