Well, My intentions with this is to figure out someway to cut down on
dirvish backup times. I run dirvish TWICE each night.. Once for the
inhouse drive and once for the offsite drive. If I could 'tee' the
files to two physical drives at once..I think it would GREATLY speed
things up. The only catch that I JUST KNOW THOUGHT OF... If you are
rsyncing...the information that would go between the two different drive
sets most likely will be different.
I need something like an 'rteenc' or 'teesync' !! :) I'll have to
think on this some more..
