Thank you for your input Matt.<div><br></div><div>We are running rsync for the DVDs as well twice a day.  And, we are also running rsync with the master server twice daily as well.</div><div><br></div><div>Our upload bandwidth is a bit more of a dynamic allocation rather than dedicated, depending upon our network usage.  But, it should not be below 5 Mbps at any time, and if network usage permits, we can go as high as 100 Mbps.  I hope that is not a problem.</div>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">Is it only deleting your DVD ISOs or all your ISOs?  I
suspect only the DVD ISOs since you should be getting the CD ISOs with your
normal sync.  You could look at using --exclude for the DVD files, but if
you aren’t also actively syncing your DVD ISOs you could also end up with
drift.  If you are just manually grabbing DVD ISOs you may just want to
move them out of the CentOS tree for your own use. </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">Not using the --delete could result in you accidentally
providing incorrect packages to anyone using your mirror and could result is
disk space issues.  I think anyone using your mirror would appreciate you keeping
your mirror exactly the same as your upstream.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Agreed.  But, will &quot;yum install&quot; work if we
do not have content in those folders?</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">What about the ISOs?  Running the &quot;--delete&quot;
deletes the ISOs as well.  Is there way to keep the ISOs inspite of using
this flag?</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Not a very good idea since you
will keep accumulating outdated content -<br>
instead of keeping only the latest version of packages, you will end up<br>
keeping every version that is ever released (sort of).<br>
