We use OpenVPN to provide network level security in a backup system which is superficially similar to yours. Typically we're backing up about a hundred GBytes. Even if it takes a couple of months for the process to complete (which can happen if the users are especially, er, well, willful:) rsync doesn't give problems. Can't say the same for OpenVPN unfortunately but a watchdog fixes that. We're still using cygwin 1.5. -- 73, Ged. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
