Looking for a way to copy a directory (incl subdirs) to a safe location every night.
How to do that the best way??
TIA L1
Here's what I use every night (on the same machine)
rsync -auvz --delete /home/ /home2
If I were doing this to a remote machine, it would be:
rsync -e ssh -auvz --delete /home/ user@remoteid:/home2/
but then it would be asking me for a password and since I run it as a cron job, I would have to change the above.
No, it does not necessarily nead a password, you could use challenge-response authentication.
Generate your ssh-keys with
