To: hackers@freebsd.org Date: Mon, 11 Mar 1996 16:04:47 -0500 (EST) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24 ME8a] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-hackers@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I've got two systems up now that I have home directories on, but one of them will not always be operating in FreeBSD. The machine "neon" is my desktop machine, and houses my home directory. The machine "Glock" is a machine that can always be counted on to be in FreeBSD, and I'd like to have access to my home directory there as well. What I want to do is mirror the files from neon to Glock nightly, so that I have a <24 hour old copy on Glock to use in case the copy on neon is not available due to me being in another operating system. What I'd like to do is have an nfs mounted copy available when neon is up, but have the local copy mirrored the previous night available in the event that neon times out. Is this possible with amd or standard nfs mounting? Thanks for any suggestions! -matt -- Matthew C. Mead mmead@Glock.COM http://www.Glock.COM/~mmead/
