Hi list, i've need to backup a partition of ~200GB with a local connection of 8/2 mbps. Tool like bacula, amanda can't help me due to low bandwidth in local server. I'm thinking rsync will be a good choice. What do you think about? Thanks in advance.
I have used in the past rsync for periodic backup, either with only cron or in scripts (when i had to dump some mysql db's too). it's a good choice I would recommend it.

You get the advantages of rsync along with having an archive of previous backups. --keith -- kkeller at wombat.san-francisco.ca.us

My needs is only get a copy of large dataset a make sure that it is not broken after transfer. After transfer, this data will be stored on local backup server where there is bacula installation. For file transfer, to save time and bandwidth I will use rsync but I don't know how to check if those file will be corrupted. How I can perform this check? I can make an md5 for each file but for a great number of file this can be a problem. Thanks in advance.
