Hi guys, I recently installed and setup cwRsync on a Windows 2000 Server - http://www.itefix.no/cwrsync/ -, and I was very impressed. I just followed the instructions on the website and got it working.
I am using it to mirror 30Gb's of mailboxes everynight (only grabbing the changes to each file), from a Windows 2000 box to a Linux box (RH9). The nightly replication takes approximately 8 hrs to complete, but the actual size of the mailbox directory only increases by about 120Mb a day. There are 750 mailboxes and each mailbox is between 50 and 200Mb in size. I am using the following command line options: rsync -avz hostname::MailBoxes /mailboxreplica Can anyone recommend ways to speed this up - is there some extra compression I can use, or a kind of "quick checksum" option that I could use? I was also wondering if there is a way to capture what rsync sees as the changes to a file, and then replay them against a file at a later date, as this would be useful as an incremental backup/restore option. In general think rsync rocks and I am very impressed by it's reliability and flexiblity!
