All, Anyone familiar with dreamhost? Are their servers always slow? Maybe they are faster in the middle of the night? Anyway, I noticed how cost-effective Dreamhost was last week. Decided this morning I would sign-up for their 300GB plan and use it as an offsite DR site via rsync. The functionality is there (ssh / rsync / login by keys or password), but so far I'm not very happy. The price is great, but they seem _really_ slow. I can handle slow network bandwidth for my needs, but I need their server to be somewhat responsive to rsync activity. My plan is to keep about 150GB of slowly changing (encrypted) data archived at Dreamhost as a DR site. So far I've only got 1 GB there and it feels very slow to do anything. ie. At arizona.dreamhost.com, "du -sh ." on my 1 GB of data takes a couple minutes to finish. The same thing on my local machine is 10 seconds or less, even when its busy. I'm concerned that by the time I have 150GB of data there doing an rsync even with minimal changes will take too long. (This is part of my nightly backup. In theory I can take almost 24 hours, but I hope it is faster than that.) Has anyone tried anything like this with dreamhost?
