Hi list, I do a backup of a remote system by running rsync over ssh. The backup is stored as tgz. Both systems running OBSD 5.0. For convinience I rsync the whole system to keep the backup script very simple in crontab. The remote system uses about 17.8G.
Once in a while the remote systems hangs and needs to be rebooted. Furthermore, after the rsync-backup is done, I copy the tarball (11G) over to a terastation share mounted with slight. Unfortunately this also fails (file too large). Do I have to modify any system limits or something to solve that problem? Or do I have to increase memory/swap? How much would I need? Tia, Elmar
