Hi,
I have about 7TB of data that I need to backup onsite. My current plan involves using rsync to mirror the data from my Mac Mini server to my NAS every 3 hours. All changes and deletions are propagated. I am able to use the snapshot feature on new Synology NAS to provide backup history. This setup is very efficient from a data use perspective as only file changes take up space on the backup. However rsync is not playing nicely and I'm considering moving to Resilio for the data replication.
My questions are:
Has anyone used Resilio to replicate 7TB of data?
I was planning on setting up the sync with a READ ONLY key on on the backup NAS, anyone have any thoughts on this?
My main concerns are:
The original data being changed by Resilio.
Changes and deletions not being propagated.
If anyone has any advice or experience in a similar setup input would be greatly appreciated. I think it will work, I just need to be careful as this is a production environment. I'm leaning towards just massaging rsync until it works as it's a relatively proven tool and an industry standard. However, there is definitely an appeal in having the files constantly in sync rather that only every 3 hours... (rsync takes about 1.5-2hr just to index the data set...)
Cheers
