Maybe some script that com= bines tar, g[b]zip, and rsync? I wouldn't use NFS just for this, but if it= 's already there it may have a place. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@f= reebsd.org] On Behalf Of Jason C. Wells Sent: Friday, September 23, 2011 4:04 PM To: freebsd general questions Subject: rsync over nfs or rsync protocol I am looking into finally setting up a backup solution that's a little=20 more sophisticated than a bunch of DVD-RWs. I have two servers. I'd=20 like to make each a backup server for the other. I'm considering using=20 rsync. Is rsync a good choice for a backup tool? Should I use the rsyncd or should I use NFS? I'm using 100 mbps ethernet. What's the better solution I haven't considered?
