Hi,
I need to synchronize /home on ProductionServer with /home on BackupServer
periodically. ProductionServer has Samba and netatalk running on it and
share files with a network of Windows and Mac OS users. The idea behind
BackupServer is if ProductionServer goes down, BackupServer can be pressed
into action to replace the down server with minimal interruption. This is
not quite fault tolerant but close enough for this purpose. The
synchronization interval will be dependent upon the performance of rsync in
this scenario so it could be anything from 5 minutes to 15 minutes. The
users are creating or editing MS Office files which are stored on the
server. What happens when rsync encounters, for example, a Word file that a
user is working on? How does rsync deal with files that are in use? Will it
skip over the file? Will it just capture whatever is on the disk? How does
rsync deal with .AppleDouble files?
