rsync
rsync
So I have a client wanting to sync one of their backup servers and frankly I have no solution to this one without using the same software again on a second offsite server. I figured I'd try rsync doing this:
Works fine on the standard files and some of the data files that are the incrementals. The problem is there are a few big binary files that are 15GB in size. These files will change just a few bytes and now it'll transfer the entire file again as it cannot just add on the changes or anything like that. This takes close to a day to complete making it not very useful as the backup system cannot make new backups while this is going on.Code:rsync -avz --delete --progress –rsh=ssh -e'ssh -p 3232' /drive root@blah.com:/
Confirmation on this not being possible with rsync no matter what the parameters would be great. I think I'm trying to do the impossible but I always like opinions from others.
