Re: [ossig] Question on DOS/win98
If it's one way replication (one site writing, one site reading) an ugly
kludge would be to do a very regular rsync. That's assuming you can
get an rsync running on Win.
I found a new use for rsync the other day :) If you do a ftp download of
a huge
file and it's corrupt (bad md5), you can search out an rsync enabled
site that
has the same file, rsync that one file, and it will correctly identify
and only
transfer the bad few sectors :) Saved me hours.
