rsync - Jul 2004 - multiple rsync simlataneously

Hi,

We are using rsync to backup the data from 100 remote machine and the 
rsync process are started at the invervel of 1 mins.

The discription of the problem is as below.

The Load is around ?111.98?.  More than a 100  rsync <defunct>? processes
with status ?D? / ?Z?  were running in the system.The System was working
very Slow.  I have rebooted the Pc and the load came back to normal. The
Present Load is ?1.98?, No ?rsync? processes are running in the system.

Please provide  a good solution.


Regards,
Bala

The best solution is to not backup 100 hosts every minute.  You'll
probably have to stagger the hosts so that they don't all try to
backup at the same time.
