[Techtalk] seeking backup solution recommendations

[Meryll Larkin]

Hi Little Girl,

Whoops!  You are correct.  I did receive a response from you!  You wrote
about GRsync and I forgot about it because you mentioned "dry run button".

I'm working with the Linux command line and I SHOULD have asked - what
happens with GRSync if I don't have access to "GUI"?

Yes, I know  how to do ssh X forwarding, the problem is that the connection
is so slow... screen redraw takes forever and it always feels like it is
about to freeze or drop.    If there is a command line menu or command line
options, that would be better for me.   I guess I can research that, too.

I have used (regular) rsync for backups for years, and it is the solution I
use in my own home - I created an rsync script that runs weekly with cron.

My experience with (regular) rsync and the tapes that I am using is that tar
with the right BlockSize and blocking-factor tends to be faster.
Faster is important when the issue is input to a single tape of a repository
with 25T of data.

Still good to hear of another option though.  Someone will probably benefit
from your information.

Thank you,
Meryll Larkin

I'm going to have to decide whether to use my powers of invisibility
for good or evil, for they are strong. I guess it's a good thing that
good looks more appealing. Anyway, good luck to you and I hope you
find a solution that you're happy with.
