Hi, migrating a load of data at work and most of it is easy for me as it's all windows type stuff with standard windows permissions etc. But some of it is more unix based. Some NFS and some mixed mode FS that are accessible by windows and unix.
Some of them we can get around by copying it and permission with windows and then mapping windows accounts to unix accounts so the user can access their data from either system.
But for some data that isn't going to work.
The data is on an export from one system and needs to go to another. We can't really install or run anything at either source or dest so we are going to use a third box either solaris, suse or poss red hat, and then mount the source and dest on that.
What I am after is a decent fairly intelligent bit of copying/data migration software that will copy it all over with permissions etc. Preferably something that can handle incremental copies, as it is a lot of data so we need to run the copies each night and then come in at the weekend and do the final incremental.
Would also be nice if it could mirror source and dest by purging old files at the dest that have been deleted. Also things like not changing time stamps etc.
I know of loads of ways to do this on windows but no idea with unix stuff. We have guys here who do know their unix, so you can be fairly technical with your answers and anything i can't grasp I'll go to them.
Oh and free would be good.
Thanks.
