<div dir="ltr">Hello Rob / Steven,<br><br>Whilst I am in no way as experienced as either of you in Linux (you may have seen one to two of my (comparatively) basic questions recently) but, I've come across the following. Rob I have no visibility and/or needs of your setup of course, but, a-sharing we should be! There's a review here <a href="http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/7712">http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/7712</a> and the actual site is here <a href="http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/">http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/</a> .<br>
<br>I hope that helps you? Anyway, back to my own Gentoo dilemmas. I never knew pain could be so good! ;-)<br><br>Mike<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 13 June 2012 08:39, Steven Acreman <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:sacreman@gmail.com" target="_blank">sacreman@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>Has anyone got any ideas on the best / quickest way to replicate large volumes of data between servers.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We currently have 2 NAS boxes and would like to replicate 1 to the other. The underlying technology for the sync is rsync and I dont think this is really going to handle the volume of data.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have just done a count up on one of the larger shares and it is currently around 13TB with 1.5 million folders and around 100 million files.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We have toyed with building some large Windows file servers and using DFSR but I dont think this would handle it either.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Anyone got any ideas on software / hardware that might help? I would estimate the total required storage at primary to be around 50TB so a guestimate would put that at around 350 million files.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The data needs to be available to Windows machines.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks</div>
