.HTML Guided Replica .TL Guided Replica .LP Today I installed .IR replica (1) on my VPS. I noticed that I can write some helper scripts around it and here they are. .LP You can download them from .CW https://sirjofri.de/files/guidedreplica . .LP You can install it like that: .LP .CW # bind your client $home to /n/rclient .br # bind your server $home to /n/rserver .br hget https://sirjofri.de/files/guidedreplica/guidedreplica.rc | rc .br # follow the prompts .LP This will also install two helper scripts to .CW $home/bin/rc/replica/ . Reproto copies one proto over the other. You can choose which one you want to keep. Reupdate is helpful if there are update-update errors. It should automatically solve them (untested, but should work). .LP .B Update: .IR replica (1) has issues. Often it does a bad job tracking changes, leaving removed files there and vice versa. I never encountered data loss, only inconsistencies in the copies. .LP Many people use .IR mkfs (8), which does not overwrite changed files. At some point I will build some scripts around it and use that instead of .IR replica (1). .LP (Files: .CW https://sirjofri.de/files/guidedreplica/README .CW https://sirjofri.de/files/guidedreplica/guidedreplica.rc )
