Large network data transfer tools/utilities?

Hey, 

 

I'm looking at transfering ~ 200 gigs of data between datacenters for a data migration.  I'm looking for ideas on utilities that will help me do that - particularly ones that can handle incremental data transfers and would allow restart on an aborted transfer.

 

The disk technology used in both DCs is different so things like SRDF and Hitachi's version of that who's name is escaping me atm are, unfortunately, right out.

 

The only thing that's coming to mind is rsync which would work; I'm just wondering if there's something newer and shinier out there.  I mean, really, rsync is so 90s :)

 

Thanks for any hints/tips/suggestions.

rsync would be my preference.  It  may be "so 90s" but it is still quite good at what it does.

If you are using VxVM, you can try Veritas Volume Replicator.
