I'm not exactly an expert on this subject (or many others for that matter) but is NFS really a suitable solutions to transfering 1.5TB+ of data over a network?? I didn't think it was *very* stable...

Just a thought

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.

Hello Chums I wonder if you could help me with a quick question


I have an "oppurtunity" to migrate some data from one Unix server to
another. 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
