as you might as well know for dump you should find the appropriate blocksize to get the most performance of copying data from on hdd to the other.
as for rsync from personal experience i can tell you that 70 GB of data took about 7 hours to copy through the network from one sata II hdd to another (computers were directly connected through a 100 MB ethernet link). maybe this is helpful to make an ideea about the process. all the best, v PS: just noticed this is your 1st post, welcome to the new community

You don't *need* to newfs and reinstall everything, you can also just fetch the binaries from FreeBSD ftp or CD-ROM, extract those (overwriting the current system), update /usr/src, and run make delete-old delete-old-libs
Or you can just use make world... In any case, "Complete reinstalls" are only needed with "that other OS".

Agreed. The only time I reinstall is when the file system changes, or I need to relocate some bad sectors on the disk. That last happened in the 6.0 time frame.

go with dump if you want to backup a complete filesystem, especially those that contain the OS files (/, /usr, /var ...). otherwise any archiver like 'tar' would do.
who is that guy btw, some ousted iraqi leader? Last edited by ephemera; 10th May 2008 at 07:25 PM. |
