rsync?rsync?Posted Nov 22, 2005 12:25 UTC (Tue) by khim (subscriber, #9252)In reply to: rsync? by hppnq Parent article: CLI Magic: Simple backup is Mirdir (Linux.com)
I could, of course, recommend mirrordir as a much better alternative, but I would be joining the wrong choir. The only real solution is painfully obvious: install a proper logical volume manager, rsync and friends are for wimps. I keep backup of my files on system thousand miles away from my main one. With rsync. Now: how exactly can I do this with "proper logical volume manager" ? On the other hand I hardly find a task not doable with rsync but doable with mirrordir...

rsync? Posted Nov 22, 2005 20:23 UTC (Tue) by hppnq (guest, #14462) [Link] Heh, it was meant to be ironic, sorry if it didn't appear that way. (You might try combining lvm and nbd though. ;-)The point I was trying to make is not whether rsync is able to solve a problem (such as making a simple local backup), but whether it is the most appropriate tool for the job.
