Hi, I am trying to gain understanding about which of the two methodologies for rsync operation is better . I don?t have statistical information if there is any performance difference for the same set of data. I also want to build some kind of error handling/control to notify users for failures or interruptions on top of rsync. Can someone please elaborate with details about which of them is better and why. a) pushing the data from source to destination ( i.e. running rsync from source machine ) b) pulling the data from source to destination ( i.e. running rsync from destination machine) ???? ??g????, Satish Shukla -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Security is also a little better, as you have a single authorized command key on the remote machine so the backup machine can be secured better (behind a firewall). Lee
