Hi list,
I've to backup a large window$ 2003 FileServer (~800GB) from my new
FreeBSD BackupServer (before I can change this fileserver to FreeBSD).
I'm trying cygwin+rsync on FileServer side and rsync+hardlinks on
BackupServer side.
Using rsync the two great advantages are:
1. Only copy the changes
2. on the BackupServer side I use hardlinks from the older backups,
with this only space consumed is from file that where changed.
on the bad side:
1. Problems with long pathnames
2. Problems with unicode filenames
3. Very slow copy ~ 2MB/s (I've doubt if this can be improved using any
other copy method)
I want hear some ideas from the list about the options available to
accomplish this job.
Best Regards,
Alexandre Biancalana
