Alex Samad Guest	Posted: Tue Oct 13, 2009 4:11 pm    Post subject: Newbie Questions about replicatijng rdif-backup Hi I have just started to use rdiff-backup and currently I am backup a mounted cifs directory on a linux box (box A), it also rdiff-backups to another box in the same location (at the same time ?) and also sends it to 2 other locations via vpns my problem is that the vpn links are slow (over the internet) and my backup window gets very small... so I thought instead of rdiff-backup to the off site locations, I could say rsync --delete local rdiff-backup directory offsite to the other 2 sites. if need arises I could rdiff-backup restore directly from the other sites. Would that work ? Also my backup data size is around 800M roughly actually compresses down to about 166m - I used to tar gzip the directory up and then send the gz's off location, but I am in the process of moving towards backupninja and rdiff-backup to handle my backup needs. I presume by using --remote-schema "ssh -C %s .... " I am getting the same sort of compression ratio ? Thanks Alex Samad _______________________________________________ rdiff-backup-users mailing list at rdiff-backup-users < at > nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/rdiff-backup-users Wiki URL: http://rdiff-backup.solutionsfirst.com.au/index.php/RdiffBackupWiki

Yep, that's what I do. -- Matthew Miller mattdm < at > mattdm.org <http://mattdm.org/> _______________________________________________ rdiff-backup-users mailing list at rdiff-backup-users < at > nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/rdiff-backup-users Wiki URL: http://rdiff-backup.solutionsfirst.com.au/index.php/RdiffBackupWiki
