Hi there, rsync is a good and easy choice and I used it to transfer files between my failover cluster. This help me to sync all files on a timebased (cron) manner (symbolic linked files too). For example [mnky@fubar ~]# /usr/local/bin/rsync --verbose --stats --recursive --delete --links /etc/xinetd.d vipin@mongoose:/home/vipin/wOrkOut both fubar and mongoose are in trusted ssh connection for users mnky and vipin so there is no probing for passwd. Once this exected, I could get xinetd.d directory under /home/vipin/wOrkOut/ try man rsync. Simple back-up utilities are tar, gzip, bzip2 dump – for multiple level of back-up for the entire file-system. rsync – for transfer data between servers and keep in sync amanda – for a client-server environment. Good Luck ! ~O_0~ ~sagar http://vipinsagar.be ...i've to look back when i heard a gong! i could only see a huge cobweb and its shining, just got wonder, what the time it was…5AgAr -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
