I've seen some google hits and I've seen Paul Slootman discussing the issue a few years back. So what is the final word on transferring large files?
I'm trying to rsync an encrypted container that contains my dirvish bank to a remote site. This lets me store my dirvish vault offsite in an encrypted format without the threat of data theft by the offsite storage company. The encrypted container is 117gig (122BillionBytes). The initial file was scp'ed up using the option to limit bandwidth. (It took about four days). I've tested this same operation with a smaller file (800meg) and it worked -- so I know the functionality is sound. I had to use the --checksum option for sure because the date and time doesn't change on the file that contains the filesystem. Is there some other option that I can give? (I know this isn't quite a dirvish question, but what better people to understand rsync that the premier users of rsync -- dirvish!) -- Richard _______________________________________________ Dirvish mailing list [email protected] http://www.dirvish.org/mailman/listinfo/dirvish
