I have a Unix-AIX server that hosts our ERP system. A full backup of the /u2 directory which is a Universe Database is scheduled every night on tape, I also do a mksysb every month on tape manually. What i need to do is backup or put a backup file of the Universe Database onto a server at my other location everyday. The backup could be ran at night and then transfered to the server in the other location, i believe i have the diskspace or it could be done over the network at night as mentioned by Bakunin. There is only roughly 20GB of data being backed up.
I would like to try using rsync, however i have no experience with it at all. I know it's not installed on my server so i would need help getting it installed. I have mostly worked with linux and am a little unsure on how to install programs in unix. It would all have to be done via command line as that is how my system is setup.
I have a WAN setup between locations so it should be easy to get the data there.
Let me know what other info you might need.
thanks for the help.
