Hi Chaps,

Bit of a replication question (i think I already know the answer roughly just looking for thoughts).

I have 2 storage pools, both 3TB's in volume each (1.9TB used).

Storage pool A (herein known as "ACTIVE") and Storage pool B (herein "BACKUP").

Now I have all my files, day to day stuff, etc on my ACTIVE pool, and I've recently created BACKUP to do a week by week backup on Sunday evenings. I'm trying to copy only files that have been modified, or NEW files added.

Now looking at rsync's MAN page:

"# -u Update. Don't copy file if file on destination is newer."

I suspect this is the option I need to use, however just wondering if anyone else has a similar setup like this and is using anything different?

ATB,
Sam
