Is anyone replicating .5TB or higher?

2003-10-21 Thread Laura Ausel
Greetings! I've heard about using rsync to replicate data across the WAN, but need to know if anyone is using it on a large scale. I have a client who is contemplating consolidating Windows file/print servers into a Linux partition on an iSeries. The show stopper is whether rsync (or any replic

Can this be done with rsync? I have two machines, (a) and (b). (a)= has a fast connection (b)= has a very slow connection Both have a directory called /debian which on day one is identical. The copy of /debian on (a) is synced weekly with a debian site. On day 30 (a)'s and (b)'s copies of /debia

Feature Request - Recursive Rsync Parameter - Example Script

I wanted to flag a problem and offer a possible solution. The problem: large rsync operation fails on machines with modest amounts of memory. Proposal: Add a parameter to rsync recursive to specify a recursion level (See example bash wrapper below). (works with recursive file system rsyncs o

If your wanting database replication, let the database software handle the replication. Most database server products have at least one way replication. Trying to have some file system level replication package replicate all that data would be killer.. in fact, it would never finish because reall

I am trying to use rsync for making snapshots, sharing hardlinks at the destination using the --link-dest option. In conjunction with this, I would like for --dry-run to report some reliable-ish number for how much space it is going to consume at the destination so that I can arrange to free such
