I'm sure you'll get a TON of responses on this.  Maybe some script that com=
bines tar, g[b]zip, and rsync?  I wouldn't use NFS just for this, but if it=
's already there it may have a place.

Subject: rsync over nfs or rsync protocol

I am looking into finally setting up a backup solution that's a little=20
more sophisticated than a bunch of DVD-RWs.  I have two servers.  I'd=20
like to make each a backup server for the other.  I'm considering using=20
rsync.

Is rsync a good choice for a backup tool?
Should I use the rsyncd or should I use NFS?  I'm using 100 mbps ethernet.
What's the better solution I haven't considered?

Thanks,
Jason
