http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/ Rsync for Backup Purposes 1. To use rsync over ssh do: rsync -e ssh host:/path/to/source /path/to/destination 2. To use rsync with protected folders or files: a. Add “backup_user ALL= NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/rsync” to the sudoers file using visudo b. Add --rsync-path="sudo rsync" to the rsync call Future Ideas: * Sean suggested getting two Ethernet cards and doing a direct connection between servers. (Gigabit maybe if distance isn’t too much, other wise fiber-optic. OIT would have to put in the cable.) |
