rsync - Mar 2004 - Quick Question.

hi,

So I have two machines that rsync over an ADSL network. This works fine, 
except on certain times when we get too much new data.  They it takes 
far too long to backup this way.

What I would like to do is have the output from rsync go to a USB drive, 
so I can just take to the backup server and copy it in place. 

Any way to do this?

Thanks,
Jason.

Hi,

It would have been a simple script with the extension I proposed
("create batch without patching",
http://www.mail-archive.com/rsync@lists.samba.org/msg09757.html).

Alternatively, you can use librsync's rdiff. That lets you can save the
patch information to a file and then transmit it only if it's not too
large. But then you'll have to sync a single large tar file
(equivalent), and do the file management by yourself.
