Rsync looks like an ideal solution. Does it mirror file permissions & ownership?
Regards, Chris For anyone who wants to check it out... ----------------------- "Rsync uses a reliable algorithm to bring remote and host files into sync very quickly. Rsync is fast because it just sends the differences in the files over the network instead of sending the complete files. Rsync is often used as a very powerful mirroring process or just as a more capable replacement for the rcp command. A technical report which describes the rsync algorithm is included in this package." - rpmfind.net http://www.rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=rsync ----------------------- -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Stuart Wallace Sent: Friday, July 18, 2003 8:26 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [cobalt-developers] Cobalt Backups We use rsync, it works a treat and backs up everything. To restore we just place a drive into the swapable bay on the backup server, mount it, rebuild and then put that drive into the raq chassis.
