We all know that rsync's weakness is very large file sets. They have to be held in memory on both client and server to determine the change set to be transmitted. So it's reasonable to want to be able to break up a large backup client into multiple backup jobs by splitting subdirectories into their own backups, and adding exclusions to the original backup. It would be nice to be able to break up the latest snapshot from the original backup to create a seed backup for the new subdirectory jobs. Has anyone tried to automate this?
I have a couple machines that regularly fail their backups because they take so long from the huge file sets so I'm about to embark on breaking them up to deal with it. --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
