I would like to know the quickest way to copy huge amount of data present on NAS of server1 to another NAS on server2. Both the servers are linux.



I'm thinking scp would be slow and take a lot of time ?

    If it's a huge amount of data, use rsync to be able to restart where you left in case of failure.

  • These feels like a question asking for an opinion. Although I can say NFS, FTP and WebDAV would be fast for lots of small files. rsync and scp would be very slow for lots of small files. All of them are going to mostly even out if you have mostly large files. Furthermore running rsync at the end is generally a pretty good idea to check everything was copied.
