Why would you mount the directories then rsync them? I've been using the cygwin RsyncD module on Windows machines, and it's worked splendidly...Le 06/10/2010 15:04, Michael Stowe a écrit :Hi, I would like to backup some laptop computers (for my personal needs). For the moment, I automount the shared directories of the Windows 7 PC on my Linux backuppc server. This works fine but the problem is that some backups are not performed when the laptop is shut down. The backups start because the Linux server is running but the mount point is down. I would like to know what are the advantages/drawbacks for laptop pcs of the following policies : * automount of shared directories + rsync (what I do now). * smb + tar * rsyncd * Other ? Thank you. Xuo.* automount of shared directories + rsync (what I do now). Probably the least bandwidth-efficient, since rsync has to read every file over the mount. Can't handle open files.
