Hey all,

I got RSYNC going on NetWare 5.1 by uploading the newer CLIB libraries to my
5.1 SP6 server as recommended on the site. All seems well so far and I can
get RSYNC to load now.

Now the problem is I don't understand how to use it. I can get it running
on two servers, but don't know how to configure it to get data moving to
keep a directory on one server copied to a 2nd server. Does someone have an
example RSYNC.CONF file or start/stop files so I can get a hint of how this
is suppose to work. They use a lot of unix type terminology that I just
don't mesh with.

I appreciate it.

yes, rsync.org was a separate recommendation. ;-)

Perfect. Coolsolutions has a post with a nice detailed working example. I
now actually understand RSYNC and have it running quite nicely on NW5.1 SP6,
and man, is it FAST!!!!! Without the example it would have been ugly - or
at least a lot more time consuming.

The one called "Using RSYNC to back up to a Hub Backup Server" by Sam
Morris, 22 Aug 2003

Also used the "CRON" setup as well to schedule it all. I still can't
believe how fast it is!

thanks for the doc recommendation. That's the one I saw that was best.

RSYNC only syncs changes so, yes, it is fast...
