Hi,

New to this list - not sure if my first post worked - so am resending....

I'm trying to backup windows servers with approx 3 partitions of 100G each over a WAN link. I'm using rsyncd on the windows machines - and the backup is to a ubuntu server.

This takes 'days' to run and never successfully complete - normally I have to stop the backuppc��(via /etc/init.d/backuppc stop) and this loses the already downloaded data....

So, how do you split the backups from a single machine - so each can run within a reasonable (say 4 hour) timeframe ? Do you have to create multiple host entries for each machine ? Does this make restore too painful ? Is the whole issue about number of files / rsyncd performance ....

Is there anything else I should be doing ? MTU size ?�

Any help�great-fully�received,

Dave
