Richard, Thanks for your mail. 420 GB data ? Good, that what, I was looking for. So, did you say indirectly that "rsync" with open files and application ?? or as Arthur said, "rsync can make a copy of inconsistent data, then when the data is "good", it can make a quick incremental copy of the changed bits". That's good solution. However Doug said that, particular application running on disk should support open files snapshot ? I am not sure but I think Oracle does support open files replication, does sybase, informix etc support the same way ? Is replication product like Veritas File replication/ Legato replicator does support 1> open file replication, 2> Linux client replication on solaris server ? thanks -Sanjeev --- Richard Bond <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > >I used scp to do the first copy, then rsync to keep up. >Worked fine- ~420 GB data on 100 meg link. >updated about 30 GB/ day > >- >Richard Bond ([EMAIL PROTECTED] (206) 605-3561 >System Administrator K-351, Health Sciences Center >Department of Molecular Biotechnology Box 357730 >University of Washington Seattle, WA 98195 > > Thanks Sean. > Your mail and man page of rsync and rsync.conf answered most of my doubt. > There is one question, I couldn't get answer from the site. > Q:- Does it support backup /mirroring of open files and open applications ?? _____________________________________________________________ Where you'll find everything under the Sun for the Sun.......www.SunGuru.com ------------------------------------------------ An alpha version of a web based tool to manage your subscription with this mailing list is at http://lists.linux-india.org/cgi-bin/mj_wwwusr
