Thank you for your input Matt. 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. 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.
