Does DA Support Rsync? Becuase normal backups are using like 2Gb a day.

We use it with no problems.

Wow your a lot of help.

I've got bqbackup.com backups with rsync, and their guide sucks.

Blindbasher, we do not allow personal attacks on these forums.

I think what you're asking is for someone to give you a step-by-step How-To for running rsync.

Perhaps someone will. Perhaps you'll have to learn yourself.

It's unfair of you to expect volunteers to do your work for you.

No, i was just asking if it supports it, then if it does, how do i turn it on.

Which part of rsync do you want to turn on? If it is the server part, then you just need to run

${PATH_TO_RSYNC}/rsync --daemon

plus, you want to make sure you have the /etc/rsyncd.conf file setup properly for your environment, it will be different for everyone.

If you are talking about the client, then there isn't any turning on, so to speak. You execute rsync with certain parameters to start syncing data, again, this will be different for everyone.

There are plenty of examples of how to run it and the Rsync link given by CrazyLane is where I learned how to use it.
