Hello,
I need some hints around the rsync use.
I'm very concerned by backup/archives. I already have viable archive system for important data (redundant) and clonezilla o my main disk.
But all this needs manual work, and takes some time (max one hour), where the computer is either offline or not really usable. So it's done randomly at too long intervals in my feeling.
I also have a very cheap unused online server with 2Tb data, to be related with the 500Gb size of my main disk.
So I want to use this server as backup. For example an hourly backup, somewhat incremental, where I could find a copy of whatever file I may have deleted since the last real backup/archive.
what may be the rsync syntax to a cron job to backup root and /home like this? rsync or any other simple tool. date can be limited to, say, three month in the past, and all what is older removed if no more present
thanks jdd easiest is to create an ssh connection based on key pairs from that server to your machine. Next, invoke rsync like this: rsync -avz youruser@yourmachines-IP:/ That would create a backup of everything. I would leave the deleting of files
