Hi,
I would like to get some input from people who have used these options for mounting a remote server to a local server. Basically, I need to replicate / backup data from one server to another, but over the internet (i.e. insecure channels)
NFS and CIFS and iSCSI are all terrible for WAN backups(assuming you don't have a WAN optimization appliance), tons of overhead. Use rsync over SSH, or rsync over HPNSSH. I transfer over a TB of data a day using rsync over HPNSSH across several WANs.
