FTP vs. Mount
I need to try to document the resources used when ftping files from server a to server b verses just mounting the file system from server a to server b and reading the files directly. We're copying a database from server a to server b and the current process is to copy each table to a flat file, ftp the flat files to server b and copy the flat files into the database on server b. I think we could just do a database backup of the database on server a to a file system that is mounted on server b and use that backup to load the database on server b. This database is about 30G in size. Currently the ftp process takes about 18 hours to unload, ftp, and load the database. The mount process should take less than 2 hours to backup and load the database.
Like I say I need to document the resources used on server a. It's not a matter of speed but a question of what impact this new process could have on server a. Any links to information or tests I could run to document this?
Thanks.

ypsetup
ypsetup(8yp) ypsetup(8yp)
Name
ypsetup - set up the yellow pages (YP) environment
Syntax
/usr/etc/ypsetup
Description
A local area network must be set up on your system before you can set up YP. You must know your system's default YP domain name and
whether your system will be a master server, slave server, or client. If your system is to be the master server for your YP domain, be
sure no other master has been established and be sure the files to be distributed are in the directory Note that the files to be distrib-
uted should be modified from the original files by removing the root entry in the file.
If your system is not to be the master server, be sure a master already exists for your YP domain. Once you know this information, run
with the system in multiuser mode and answer its questions.
Once YP is installed on a machine, it cannot be used until the file is modified to contain YP entries on the desired database lines. The
command reminds a user to run or edit the file manually.
