Hello.
I have been using rsync for a couple of months to provide synchronised
data between two of our servers and have had wonderful success with it.
I was wondering if anyone knew of another tool that might provide the
following:
- "Real-time" push synchronization
- rsync like "whats changed" algorithm
- Distributed / Multiple-source synchronization
eg: ServerA pushes to ServerB, then ServerC can receive
from ServerA and ServerB
Novell has a product called iFolder 3, but this requires a SUSE Linux
Enterprise Server with Novell's OES. But this is still Server->Node
synchronisation and not Server->Server
Did you check Unison? It uses rsync alghoritm, and if you want to create
a multi-way syncing, you'd have to create a "star" topology (with a
central server in the middle).
If you're familiar with rsync, you should be able to set up a multi way
synchronization with Unison in an hour or two (though the flags are
different); I can send you some of my scripts if you want.
If you want to achieve a real time synchronization, you'd have to play
with a distributed filesystem like Coda, which would take you a couple
of days to set up.
