</head><BODY ><div><SPAN style="font-size:10pt;">Yes I would like to see or use your script. Seems most people are using some form of rsync.</SPAN></div>
<div> </div>
<div><SPAN style="font-size:10pt;">I use ftp over gigabit ethernet and raqbackup. The sites are huge! Even going over local Gigabit ethernet it takes a almost a full day.</SPAN></div>
<div> </div>
<div><SPAN style="font-size:10pt;">I am not familiar with rsync. Is this possible or will the load kill the server?</SPAN></div>
<div> </div>
<div><SPAN style="font-size:10pt;">Install a new BX with lots of extra drive space. Have server 1 rsync to server 2 and visa versa? </SPAN></div>
<div> </div>
<div><SPAN style="font-size:10pt;">Anymore the cost of the hardware is not the issue. Its the heat and power. </SPAN></div>

<div><SPAN style="font-size:10pt;color:navy;">></SPAN></div>
<div><SPAN style="font-size:10pt;color:navy;">> We have a few hundred cms sites that are quite busy. We use rsync</SPAN></div>
<div><SPAN style="font-size:10pt;color:navy;">> to maintain a live copy of the home files on a remote server.</SPAN></div>
<div><SPAN style="font-size:10pt;color:navy;">> Because it only copies the changed files it's very quick. We run</SPAN></div>
<div><SPAN style="font-size:10pt;color:navy;">> this hourly, plus all the databases nightly, then each night after</SPAN></div>
<div><SPAN style="font-size:10pt;color:navy;">> the database sync we rsync the remote backup server onto a </SPAN></div>
<div><SPAN style="font-size:10pt;color:navy;">> removable disk which we change daily.</SPAN></div>
<div><SPAN style="font-size:10pt;color:navy;">></SPAN></div>
<div><SPAN style="font-size:10pt;color:navy;">></SPAN></div>
<div><SPAN style="font-size:10pt;color:navy;">> Of course, we're not at all paranoid :)</SPAN></div>
<div><SPAN style="font-size:10pt;color:navy;">></SPAN></div>
<div><SPAN style="font-size:10pt;color:navy;">></SPAN></div>
<div><SPAN style="font-size:10pt;color:navy;">> The scripts are quite straightforward - let me know if you need a</SPAN></div>
<div><SPAN style="font-size:10pt;color:navy;">> look at them</SPAN></div>
