While nbari@unixmexico.com was trying to figure out why data written to /dev/null on Thu, Dec 12, 2002 at 23:00 was not readable, he gave up and decided to grace us with this: > How can i make a backup of some dirs and send them to another server > what is the best tool for doing that? > rsync netcat or wich one do you recomend for making a huge backup ? Best tool depends on just what you need to do for the backup. If you need to constanly update if the source changes, rsync is much faster after the first is done. If you just need an archive of the directories you might use gtar. I've just done both tonight and am currently rsync'ing a tree to a local machine as the far system doesn't have the gtar with the --rsh-command=ssh option as the target machine requires ssh. So it depends on what you need to do.
