    A dual backup medium diff scenario

    Ahh, yes. With always on connections, I'm very partial to DFS-Replication, which is a feature of Windows Server. It generates a checksum data of files, holds file versions, watches the file system journal for changes, when detected stages the files, compresses it and sends it over the line...

    A dual backup medium diff scenario

    Okay cool. I'll test this. Hopefully it generates a DB of checksums, then can perform the necessary diffs of the files... I guess, we'll have to end up forcing replacement of the DB from the "i hold the master!" set of the files. Thanks for your input! Matt [edit] Oh... I just had one of...

    A dual backup medium diff scenario

    Thanks for replying so quickly. I guess I will have to test... but think of it this way: 1) Dude works on "Live file set 1" on his computer at work 2) Dude backs up files to RAID1 at his desk at work ("Master copy 1") 3) Dude brings backup home and puts them into "Live file set 2" 4) Dude...

    A dual backup medium diff scenario

    He'd be using Windows 7. Cool. I was thinking rsync, but I'm not sure how it would work with the "two master file set" issue. Any ideas on how I can handle this? Could I just bring over the DB or something? Thanks, Matt [edit] One more thing to mention is that the two machines have no...

    Open source software for file synchronization that watches USN journal?

    Hello, We are currently utilizing DFS-R in Windows 2003 R2 to synchronize several files. However, we desire to raise the priority of a sub-folder and DFS-R does not allow this. We can filter a sub-folder from being synchronized by DFS-R, but we can not then reassign this folder to another...

    Calculating IOPS?

    Hello, I'm looking for a reliable formula to calculate IOPS of disk subsystems. I found the following on expert-exchange. Can anyone verify it as correct? Single Disk IOPS = 1 / Average Latency, where Average Latency = Rotational Latency + Average Seek Latency Rotational Latency =...

    Configuring Windows XP to accept port mirrored traffic

    Hilarious: I was misassigning the target port. I was using another port (oops), glad no one was using the port. TCP/IP enabled. No need to assign to any specific VLAN. Just add the source port, and the target port. The switch is auto-sensing, but just for fun I used a crossover cable (for...

    Open Source / Free replacement for DataSynapse GridServer?

    Hello, I'm interested if anyone is aware of a project that is similar to DataSynapse's GridServer. Basically, it presents a virtual environment that processes can run on and performs allocation of backend, clustered resources. For instance, you can load and run Windows 2008 server on a...

    Looking for a web based file sharing solution that can be hosted internally

    Before straying too much, and causing further confusion, I'm interested in something that's a replacement for YouSendIt (for instance). What I'll call a "web file drop," where my users can upload a file to a server (which happens to be housed internally) [setting stuff like a password...
