Rsync is about as good as it reasonably gets, short of putting everything explicitly under version control (ie, in SVN or CVS). If you do put the tree of stuff under VC, doing an update operation on ServerB will only need to fetch the deltas made since the last update, without doing a comparison of the unchanged files or placing much load on ServerA. -- -Chuck
