Hi

I have done a test with rsync. These are the results:


root at bsd7:/var/rsync RSYNC_PASSWORD='xxx' time rsync -av
rsync://backup@nest/data/FILE .
receiving file list ... done
FILE

sent 126 bytes  received 1048704154 bytes  25893932.84 bytes/sec
total size is 1048576000  speedup is 1.00
       39.56 real         6.70 user         5.48 sys

root at bsd7:/var/rsync RSYNC_PASSWORD='xxx' time rsync -av FILE
rsync://backup@nest/data/FILE1
building file list ... done

As you can see they are much faster than NFS.
Then I have done a test with a Solaris 10 client and a Solaris 10 server:

            8192    2048   60082   69817


They are quite fast as well.
