Hi guys,
I'm trying to identify a good method of conducting a 2 way sync between a ZFS (OmiOS) array and a remote windows owned hardware array. Both have nfs and samba shares. The arays are around 20TB in size with 16TB utilization. Please don't tell me to switch the hardware windows machine to ZFS. I want to, but the owner doesn't trust software raid and is a windows fanatic.
I'd use rsync, but I've had problems with 2 way syncing historically. I'm also not sure that method would work with windows.
I thought about a windows application like goodsync, but I suspect that method would take enormous amount of time over our office network.
I'm now considering a solution like owncloud, but I don't know the extent of it's syncing ability since I've never used it. I may be extremely off made here, but the web access is attractive if it provides the syncing capabilities.
What else should I research?
