We are migrating from one server to another. We have encountered problems during testing where some files are missed in the restore and/or permissions do not get restored correctly.
I have been manually checking these items in directories, but its a big system. And this is just the test phase. I don't want to spend hours doing this on the live migration schedule.
I would like to be able to compare like name directories between the two servers.
I have been writing a script to go to the directories and loop through down to file names to create list files, then comparing the list files. I am hoping maybe there is an easier way.
didnt know what to search for in the forums, because maybe its not ftp I really want to use. ?
We are using legatto restore to advfs file systems on digital unix 4.0D. Any thinking out of the box on this???

thanks!

Check out rsync at www.rsync.org - might be what you are looking for.

Have used it to replicate a number of commercial websites from a primary server.
