Hi Alan There are many transfer mechanism you can use provided you have space on the destination. Is the information confidential ? You can try FTP, NFS or even RSYNC.

I was going to use *nix tools to do it and had plumped for Rsync. I have a lot of data to move (1.5Tb+ from one site and 1Tb+ from another), but time is not an issue, reliability of the data is. Is Rsync the correct animal for the job, or is there something better that I could Use. Concerns have been raised by some in the organisation who had heard that Rsync misses data. Any comments I can use to confirm or deny that? As I said its a large amount of data, but we have Gigabit links, and time to do it properly Any Help is appreciated -- Alan Harding alanh (at) flashmail (dot) com "TINSTAAFL" -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list Important Notice: This email is subject to important restrictions, qualifications and disclaimers ("the Disclaimer") that must be accessed and read by clicking here or by copying and pasting the following address into your Internet browser's address bar: http://www.Deloitte.co.za/Disc.htm.
