Hi,
we have a huge directory tree.
* 17M files (number of files)
* 2.2TBytes of data.
* Only 0.1% changes per day
Current pain: rsyncs directory tree traversal needs to long to discover the
changed files.
Hi,
On which type of FS is this directory ?
ext4
Any way to prefer snapshots in your backup strategy ?
Or to use a ZFS ready OS to benefit from a SSD cache (which would store your
metadata) ?
Yes, I think rsync is coming to the edge of its capabilities here. I guess a
different strategy is needed.
I see these alternatives to rsync:
- Incremental Snapshots at block-level device is one of them.
- We get the application ported to access a storage server, and not file
server any more.
- ....
Do you see other alternatives?
