If I understand you correctly, you're copying files betweeen machine A and B and you want to know if you should invoke the rsync command on server A or B? The answer to that is that there is no difference -- the end result is the same number of processes on both systems. The only thing that really makes a difference is going directly to the source of the files. For instance, if some of the backed-up files were NFS mounted, it would be better to back them up off the NFS server than off an NFS client. ..wayne.. -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
