Is anyone on this list using rsync to transport their data for disaster recovery? I've seen some effective UNIX/Linux backups/archives done with rsync, but I'm wondering things like:
- how well can it be integrated with CIFS/Windows systems? (have I gotta roll a SAMBA server to translate so that rsync "sees" the windows data?) - is it relatively fast over slow links? - how well does it work with "incremental changing" data? Can you emulate "snapshots", for example? - anyone have to "reverse" the direction of the rsync data flow to recover the data, and if so, how easy was it? Experienced replies welcome....
