Thanks for the tips...
1). I'm sorry to be dense but not really sure I understand your
meaning about network[s] [Typo of networked?]. An example for me
would be a windows box with some 5 partitions over 3 drives. All
partitions are networked (shared). Including the OS partition.
There aren't any windoes hosted network drives. All the windows shared
drives are on the Solaris host shared through Samba, or on OpenSolaris
shared with CIFS.
2) I'm a complete dope about iSCSI so again not sure I'm following
you.
Some windows servers use iSCSI volumes exported for Solaris hosts as
their "local" drives.
Are you speaking in
3) of full backups including the OS files etc, or just networked
volumes of data (like pictures or videos in my case). I ask
because it seems if rsyncing (pull) from OSol you will run into
many files that are not copyable due to being in use during the
course of the backup.
Pass - I only to the (Open)Solaris side! Most of the stuff pulled is
database exports.
