Linux – Best practices for mass file transfer with verification

baculadata integritylinuxverificationwindows

I'm looking for a bit of advice on transferring a several files from Windows-based workstations to a Linux Server running Ubuntu Server LTS 10.04. At the moment I've been mounting the shares on the Linux box and rsyncing them, but I'm not sure if this is validating the data that's being sent. Someone suggested that I used Bacula for backups, which I plan to do to take advantage of VSS for 100% data integrity, but for the initial transfer it doesn't seemm that Bacula is an option.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

I appreciate the help!

MD5 sums of the files on server one, compared to MD5 sums on server two post-transfer.
