I am an experimental physicist and I am currently developing the DAQ software for our experiment. We need to continuously backup our data to a remote server. The data, once backed up to the server, has to be deleted on the local DAQ PC to make space for new data.

I was wondering if lsyncd is the right tool for this job.

In the following, I will refer to the remote server to backup TO as "the server" and to the local DAQ PC to backup FROM as the "DAQ PC".

Here are my requirements:

• The data rate is quite low (some MBps tops)


• I need to backup the data one-way only: from the DAQ PC to the server and not the other way around, i.e. if I delete a file on the DAQ PC I do NOT want the file to be deleted on the server. The DAQ PC storage is limited so we need to continuously push the data from the DAQ PC to the server for long-term storage.


• The OS on the DAQ PC is CentOS 7. I have root access.


• The OS on the server is Scientific Linux 6.10. I do NOT have root access.


• The server can be accessed by SSH connection


• The rsync version installed on the server is 3.0.6

I am also considering other programs like DRBD or unison but they seem to be targeted towards two-way folder syncing instead of one-way incremental backup.

EDIT
I know that the question may sound off-topic, but here I am just asking for an objective answer: can lsyncd do what I need? Yes or no. If it can do it, good. If it cannot, is there another way to accomplish what I need?
