Hi all,
This may be a dumb question... but I am still gonna' ask it.
Let's say I've got an rsync backup archive and it is getting close to filling up the disk on my backup server. is there an easy way to split up that archive so as to alleviate the load?
Thanks.
Boris.
Unless there is a reason to keep old versions of files I would use the --delete option to rsync. That may free up a lot of space. You can always test by using the -n (dry-run) switch to test first. You might be amazed at the number of files that were deleted locally long ago that are still on an rsync backup. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
