[nylug-talk] rsync daemon or ssh ?

[Henning Follmann]

I have a question about the nice tool rsync.

I currently have two machines
- rsync backup
- content storage

On content storage I have roughly 1.7 million files

so far I start rsync via ssh on the backup system.
rsync --rsh=ssh cs:/path /backup/path

and that is working fine.
Would it actually be better to start a rsync daemon on the content
server? And what are the pros/cons of doing so?
Would it speed up the transfer?


Thanks for any form of informative conversation.

Henning
