[NBLUG/talk] Synchronizing strategies

[Jordan Erickson]

I use rsync+ssh+rsnapshot+cron for a (albeit daily) backup of multiple
VMs in "the cloud" (my cloud) totaling about 1.5TB total to a local
disk, then another rsnapshot to an external disk about every month. It's
fast. rsync is designed to take large amounts of data and sync them
efficiently.

Is there a requirement for "every hour" (and not something more frequent
like, every time a file changes)? If not, maybe a trigger that whenever
a file changes, it's sync'd... I'm sure multiple avenues are possible
with some simple script-fu (and probably plenty of ready-to-go packages
as well).
