Re: Moving /home to a LVM

rsync actually in useful in creating incremental backups, locally or over
network. rysnc also can work like a copy function as I updated you on the
last post. I will look for any files changed during a period and if there is
any will update it with files from the source to the destination. cp seems
add server load which copying a large directory, however rsync does it with
hardly any load.

What advantage would that be? Just curious...


you may actually use rsync instead of copy

Thanks for the fast reply tried it this morning and I had specified the
copy incorrectly so it took a little mv here and there but its working
great Thanks all.
