I need to rsync 4 TB datafiles to remote server and clone to a new oracle database..I have about 40 drives that contains this 4 TB data. I would like to do rsync from a directory level by using --files-from=FILE option. But the problem is what will happen if the network connection fails the whole rsync will fail right.
rsync -a srchost:/ / --files-from=dbf-list and dbf-list would contain this: p02/oradata/OSID/redo01.log p03/oradata/OSID/redo02.log p04/oradata/OSID/redo03.log p01/oradata/OSID/system01.dbf p04/oradata/OSID/undotbs01.dbf p03/oradata/OSID/sysaux01.dbf p03/oradata/OSID/users01.dbf p03/oradata/OSID/example01.dbf p03/oradata/OSID/data01.dbf p02/oradata/OSID/index01.dbf p01/oradata/OSID/control01.ctl p02/oradata/OSID/control02.ctl p03/oradata/OSID/control03.ctl s01/oracle/product/10.2.0/dbs/initOSID.ora One advantage that I have if do rsync file by file is if the network connection fails for a quite sometime and comes back alive the rsync will continue from the next file in the list while it will fail on the other files when connection is lost. rsync -vz /p02/oradata/OSID/redo01.log destser:/d02/oradata/OSID/redo01.log rsync -vz /p03/oradata/OSID/redo02.log destser:/d03/oradata/OSID/redo02.log rsync -vz /p04/oradata/OSID/redo03.log destser:/d04/oradata/OSID/redo03.log rsync -vz /p01/oradata/OSID/system01.dbf destser:/d01/oradata/OSID/system01.dbf rsync -vz /p04/oradata/OSID/undotbs01.dbf destser:/d04/oradata/OSID/undotbs01.dbf rsync -vz /p03/oradata/OSID/sysaux01.dbf destser:/d03/oradata/OSID/sysaux01.dbf rsync -vz /p03/oradata/OSID/users01.dbf destser:/d03/oradata/OSID/users01.dbf rsync -vz /p03/oradata/OSID/example01.dbf destser:/d03/oradata/OSID/example01.dbf rsync -vz /p03/oradata/OSID/data01.dbf destser:/d03/oradata/OSID/data01.dbf rsync -vz /p02/oradata/OSID/index01.dbf destser:/d02/oradata/OSID/index01.dbf rsync -vz /p01/oradata/OSID/control01.ctl destser:/d01/oradata/OSID/control01.ctl rsync -vz /p02/oradata/OSID/control02.ctl destser:/d02/oradata/OSID/control02.ctl rsync -vz /p03/oradata/OSID/control03.ctl destser:/d03/oradata/OSID/control03.ctl rsync -vz /s01/oracle/product/10.2.0/dbs/initOSID.ora destser:/d01/oracle/droduct/10.2.0/dbs/initOSID.ora I don't know how it would work if we do rsync with the files--from option ? Also rsync gurus would you suggest which is the fastest way to trasfer this 4 TB data ? Any suggestions...would be of great help.
