Purely theoretical....number will be off due to network congestion etc...but.. 100Mb/s = 12.5 MB/s 400GB = 400000 MB (roughly) Say your transfer rate is sustained at 10MB/s 400000/10 = 40000s so roughly 12 hours. This is just a real rough estimate and will be subject to network activity, drive speeds and all that jazz. I dont know how using rsync would compare to straight ftp or even straight nfs. But I think your best bet is to arrange a suitable test set of files of a significant size time that and extrapolate it. e.g. Time to tranfer 10GB is say 15min. Then a reasonable estimate time to transfer 400GB would be 40 times that or 600min, 10 hours. -art >>> lists@xxxxxxxxxx 09/07/06 3:16 AM >>> > I am trying to come up with the estimate to transfer 400GB oracle > database over network (100Mbps) to another server.

Netcat which is probably installed on your machine already as "nc" -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
