Right now we do a lot of hard to hard disk backup by using rsync to weekly "mirror" the source filesystem to a backup filesystem. This works fairly well for most sources. However, one issue with rsync is that simple things like changing the file name or directory name cause the whole file or directory structure to get recopied over a previous sync. Also, like for mail spools, large files that simply get appended to get the whole file recopied. Does anyone know of something that syncs an ext2/3 fs to another at the block level which result in less data transfer? -- --------------------------------------------------------------- Paul Raines email: raines@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx MGH/MIT/HMS Athinoula A.
