Hi lads,
just noticed this new subforum. I have been considering to use my EPIA TC10000 as a backup server, as described by UM here. As part of this, I figure that it may make a lot of sense to use rSync for transmitting the changes only, since it is easy on the bandwidth, which is likely to be limited in my case. Since the rSync algorithm requires quite a bit of "hashing" (I am not sure what term is better suited, if this is inaccurate) in order to create the checksums, I am wondering if I will be CPU limited in my transfers, i.e. can the cpu sustain > 300kbps in throughput when using rSync? If not, would the dual core version help out here?
