rsync should work well, though as Dave noted you need enough disk space on the destination machine to hold a second temporary copy during transfer. Memory usage should be moderate. If not, report a bug. If you're feeling adventurous, you might like to investigate the rdiff tool available from rproxy.samba.org. This might give you a reduction in the amount of disk IO compared to rsync, depending on the load. -- Martin -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
