heya,
I have a question about the best way
Right now, we've got a small little NAS, a Western Digital My Book World
Edition (which incidentally, performs like a brick...do not get
it...lol), which I have ssh access into, and rsnapshot installed on it.
Windows Fileserver -----Ethernet (Very slow)----> My Book (NAS), running
RSnapshot -----USB Port----> External USB Drive
I have this running fine, updating files from our Windows fileserver.
However, we also want to do offsite backups. The My Book has a usb port
on the back, which automounts USB drives into a /shares/external
directory (e.g. /shares/external/usb_disk).
What is the best way to have two backups, that is, for the NAS to pull
rsync data from the fileserver, and also rsync it to the usb-drive as
well. The performance over the ethernet port on the NAS is quite simply,
awful, and it seems a little memory-bound. Bearing that in mind, would
it be better to pull the data first, then after that's complete, write
it to the USB? What would be the best way of doing this? (i.e. script
the second rsnapshot to run only when the first is complete).
Or is it somehow possible to have rsnapshot write to two destination
folders concurrently?
Cheers,
Victor
