I have a number of systems I'd like to regularly back up with rsync. Let me describe them.
Computer 1 is my main desktop at home. It runs 24-7 and has a 500 GB USB SATA drive to do back ups on. It uses OpenSuse 10.2. It is networked to all other computers in the house with nfs.
Computer 2 is my laptop, which goes everywhere. At home it is networked to Computer 1 and 3 with nfs. At work it is networked to my work computer (also running nfs). It runs OpenSuse 10.3.
Computer 3 is my wife's desktop at home. It uses OpenSuse 10.2 and is networked to computers 1 and 2.
Computer 4 is my work computer, a desktop running OpenSuse 10.2 and networked to my laptop with nfs when I am there.
What I'd like to do is regularly make backups of: 1. my files on my desktop to my USB drive. 2. my files on my laptop, which are a subset of the files on my desktop, to my desktop. 3. my files on my work computer to my laptop. Probably. I've never used it, but others have recommended a tool called unison.
Am I going to have file permission problems doing it this way? (My home partition has the same name on each computer). You might have UID/GID issues if they are different on different computers.
