With even a 1Gbit ethernet connection to your main system, savvy use of
(say) rsync (net/rsync in Ports), and the sort of "know your data /
divide & conquer" tactics that Karl mentions, you should be able to
complete initial backups (on both backup servers) in <1 month. After
that - rsync can generally do incremental backups far, far faster.
ZFS can do incremental snapshots and send/receive much faster than rsync
on the file level. And e.g. FreeNAS comes with all the bells and
whistles already in place - just a matter of point and click to
replicate one set of datasets on one server to another one ???
True. But I was making a brief suggestion to Michelle - who does not seem
to be a trusting fan of ZFS - hoping that she might actually implement it,
or something similar. Or at least an already-tediously-long mailing list
thread would end. Rsync is good enough for her situation, and would let
her use UFS on her off-site backup servers, if she preferred that.
*Local* replication is a piece of cake today, if you have the hardware.
Kind regards,
Patrick
