Hi, The following problem has appeared in the past but I have not seen satisfactory solution. It is common when synchronizing large amount of files over slow link.
I would like to synchronize 1TB of data between local and remote sites over WAN. For the initial synchronization, I would like to transfer the files from the local site to the remote site using tapes, and use Rsync only for the incremental synchronization. After copying the files from the tapes at the remote site, it would have been nice if Rsync had an option that would scan the files and generate the checksums/hash values necessary for the incremental synchronization step. (so that I would not need to use Rsync for the initial transfer). If this was an option, do I need to generate the checksums/hash values on the local site prior to incremental synchronization ? Is it complicated to add to Rsync an option that would just generate checksums/hash values of files so that the solution above becomes feasible ?. -- IsraeL Gold, WiGo Technologies, [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
