I’m working on a project to have a redundant backup from one Mac server to another (both are raided). One will be used as a pilot machine, the other production. I’ve never used rsync on a Mac before, so I decided to create a post with my findings/progress to benefit myself and anyone out there who might find it helpful. Stay tuned.
Update: Looking into arRsync which is a GUI based rsync app. Looks like all you have to do is set the destination to a network drive (in my case the root level of the production server) and set the option to “Bidirectional Synchronize.” Will test this out and see if it’s the best solution.
