I have a setup with 3 machines, 1 with very OLD HDs. I'm behind a |
| 17 |
firewall, so I can't use rsync protocol over the web, I download a |
| 18 |
portage snapshot daily and use local rsync, the 2 other machines use |
| 19 |
the one synced locally as rsync server over the lan. |

Believe me, in 2 years I've seen no problem with my hard drives with a |
| 22 |
daily sync. And the machines are all servers, so they're up pretty |
| 23 |
much 24/7 (just reboot in case of power failure for more than 2 hours, |
| 24 |
that's when the no-break goes off). |
