Clone a 300Gb disk on a periodical base on Linux(Fedora5)??
Good day! I have a linux server with 2 disks (300Gb).At first i wanted to do soft raid-1 mirroring, in case one of them fails. Soft raid-1 have disadvantage that it have to write data 2 times and i lose in performance. I want nightly to clone entire drive , so even if a hard fails i loose at least no more than 12 hours changes of my data. Yesterday i used /bin/dd in a ctontab, to clone my drive. In the morning it was still running,and i had to kill it. It run for almost 5 hours !!! I guess i have to use some other tools, more quicker, what do you recommend????
Thanks for your time!
