I am currently running a Buffalo Linkstation with mirror drives to store all of our GroupWise Archives on. This works somewhat OK, a little slow when accessing the archives but I like it since my co-workers archive everything. I currently have a USB drive that is doing backups of the archives once a week but I dont like the fact that the drive stays in the office.
So I would like to copy or link the archive directories to one of my Linux servers that are backed up nightly on tape and removed from the premises.
I am not well versed with Linux - Can this be done?
Hi
You could look at using rsync? Is this on the internal network? You
probably want to add some verifications checks as well.

It’s just about the best file-transfer tool for this type of thing ever.
Super-smart, it transfers what is needed. Have a transfer stall out at
99% of 10 GiB file(s)? It’ll only transfer what did not make it (by
default comparing file size and timestamp, but also supports hash-based
checks for slower checking but higher accuracy). It natively works via
SSH, does not (thanks to that) require a service listening persistently on
the remote side, and is supported by ever *nix out there natively. Good
stuff. Tons of tutorials online, or if you tell us exactly what you need
from where to where, we can probably come up with a quick line for you too.

Good luck.
