I have large media files, multiple TBs.
I deal with a constant stream of these and want to have a distributed network - connected via the inet - that allows me to sync the drives in all locations.
i.e. I would like to setup a server in my home office, one in my co-founder's home office and another in my editor's home office.
Whenever my editor runs off a few hundred GB of data to a specific folder or to their drive, I would love for that to be auto-synced to both my server and that of my co-founder.
Will Syncthing allow me to do this easily and will it be appropriate for an application like that?
- nodata 12y agoIt will do what you describe, but since you are handling large files you should know that Syncthing currently doesn't do dedupe, so if you rename or move a file, or have multiple copies of it, it will sync the whole file again. Changes within a file that don't move are handled efficiently.
- marcamillion 12y agoIf I am not mistaken, you can't do dedupes on media files, right?
- dublinben 12y agoIt sounds like you could be using Tahoe-LAFS. There are also a number of other distributed file systems.
