Thanks to Jamie (yet again) I am using the wonderful RSnyc module with Webmin and am transferring files from one server to the other, however (bet you knew that was coming) I am having a little issue. I am backing up a bunch of web sites from one machine to another, nearly 2 GIGs of stuff. I want to do this nightly but the transfer never seems to complete. So thinking about how RSync works I know that it will only transfer those files that need updating and since the backed up web sites are only backed up once daily it's not going to be transferring files for ever. However, the module only allows me to setup one schedule and doing it each night won't always transfer all the files. So the question is, do I do it hourly or should I create my own Cron jobs to backup only through the night when most people aren't on the box? Is there a large overhead to attempt transfer files that don't really need transferring during the day?
