</div>Interesting task. You aren't telling us much about your setup --<br>
specifically, how is the network conn between your XSs and your backup<br>
server?<br><div class="im"></div></blockquote><br>We're using the same ISP with public IPs on each schoolserver.. we rsync + ssh to a remote internet server so their not on the same network "per se"<div> </div>

</div>Ok, so are you using dsd's script, or a modified version of it? If you<br>
are using dsd's script unmodified, it sounds like your are getting 2<br>
copies of the 'users' dir.<br></blockquote><div><br>Not really.. I based my script on the dsd script in the way that instead of zipping all of it y just put it in the same directory (not even .tar) so later this directory along with the /library/users/ directory can be rsync.<br>
<br>We tryed not to use tar.gz beacuse the files would be to big, and we are more interested in doing incremental backup rather then full backup every time <br></div><div></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
- Make sure you are doign things in an rsync-smart way. For example:<br>
don't rsync a tar.gz of the users' directory<br></blockquote><div><br>yeap <br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
- Given that you are running your rsync from the backup server, it<br>
will be easy to run it under fakeroot. Look at the fakeroot manpage,<br>
you'll find that it can keep its metadata. With that, you'll preserve<br>
metadata (owner/grp, acls, etc) without needing to be root.<br></blockquote><div> </div>I'll check this out and get back to you<br><br>cheers..<br></div><br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Rodolfo<br><br><br>
