Hi Guys ,
i currently am running two freenas servers with the main server replicating its self to the second via rsync
using the Rsync task.
Now i have only just done this in the last week or so but have a few questions .
now the backup schedule is once a week on a sunday night .
my question is this .
i understand the first time the backup runs it will copy everything to the backup server .
as i add files to the main server will the server copy all the files again or only the new files that have been added to the main server .
example
File 1 ,2 ,3 ,4 copied on sunday night to the backup server .
monday morning i add file 5,6,7,8 to the main server .
sunday comes around again but will it copy file 1,2,3,4 + the new added files 5,6,7,8
or only copy over file 5,6,7,8
i know it sounds long winded but note sure how to explain any other way .
