I need to backup the /data directory on hostA to /data on hostB, about 1TB of data on a gigabit link. Right now I'm using scp but the handshake latency and ssh overhead is killing me. I've looked at many examples of tar|rsh tar and I can't figure it out, most of the examples on the net look like this: # tar cf - . | rsh hostname dd of=tape-device obs=20b # tar -cf -...|rsh ...tar xf -... I almost got it to work but I got this error: 'rshd: Login incorrect.'. rsh is enabled on hostB and If I just do 'rsh hostB' it works... this is my first time using rsh BTW.
