[Sunhelp] "Mirroring" two directories over the net. Info please.

[Adrian Petrescu]

The only problem with tar [...] | tar [...] is that it will take couple of 
hours to complete for the amount of data I have in the directory (> 25 GB 
for a single machine, and there are 3 sets I want to implement).

I'm going to check on samba site. Thank you.

Regards,
Adrian

The one shot method :

    tar -cf - . | rsh host 'cd /whatever ; tar -xpvvf -'

(replace rsh with ssh if that's what turns your crank.)

If you want to automate it and make it efficient, you may want to look
into rsync, available at ftp://samba.anu.edu.au/pub/rsync.

Of course there's a dozen other answers to this question, but these
two will usually do quite nicely.
