You'd want www.nexenta.com for the nexentastor product. nexenta.org is for the desktop flavor. With zfs you could probably build 2 identical systems and use an incremental snapshot send/receive for the backup but I have no idea how that scales. I'd expect it would be much faster than traversing the directories, though. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
