One thing to note; rsync will allow you to keep data synchronized by only copying the difference from one directory tree to another, so in our case the actual nightly transfer is only in the neighborhood of about 30GB, and it takes about 1/2hr to complete to all slaves in sequence. Hope it helps, but my two cents - use rsync for that. -- Nathan Vidican nvidican@wmptl.com Windsor Match Plate & Tool Ltd. http://www.wmptl.com/
