</div></div>Probably rsync, but scp, rcp, ftp, sftp or any other "copy" tool of your<br>
choice will work. I'd avoid CIFS.<br>
<br>
Treat each VM just like a regular machine. If you've setup a VM-only<br>
switch, using that instead of the public IP would probably be faster,<br>
but if the VM virtual-disks are physically on the same HDD, that will be<br>
the limiting factor.<br>
<br>
You could setup NFS between the systems or use iSCSI between them too,<br>
if you like. Probably overkill when rsync is so much easier.<br>
