If rsync is not fast... then how about doing a snapshot and then rsync<br>
off the snapshot? (I do rsync over lvm snapshots to back up file<br>
systems cleanly) and, btw, perform file system dumps [ufsdump /<br>
ufsrestore like, but dump and restore on Linux] of *non-mounted*<br>
backup file systems fwiw.<br>
<br>
I have other rsyncs that happen via rsnapshot during the day, I don't<br>
worry about snapshotting them though, but I probably should....<br>
