Hello, to explain: I have two machines running the same hard- and software. Each has two harddrives 80GB/40GB with 500 megs of RAM and a 650MHz PIII, running SuSE Linux 7.1 with Kernel 2.2.18.
They are connected on a local 100Mbps Ethernet. The harddrives are pretty full (total ~94GB) with a very large quantity of small files. The initial copy has taken about 48 hours. - I didn't worry much about that. - So, know rsync shall run every night and I have a capacity of 5 hours to do the job. I have started it yesterday the first time and it needs 14h to do the job and there were not much changes. I've checked a number of changes and it looks like rsync has done the job pretty good -- if I dont look to the clock :( I am using rsync-2.5.1 with the follwing command: rsync -av --delete /mnt/data /data_bak The two drives are mounted using nfs. I run a simple script which calls rsync for each of the two drives. Is there anything wrong? Would you prever another way for that job? I'm new to rsync and I have started reading previous posts, but found nothing that really helps me. Thanks a lot in advance for your help. Regards, Juergen
