Maybe you're interested in use amanda (http://www.amanda.org) a excelent back-up program that enables you to backup a remote machine, and encrypt the data :) Best regards Agustin At 14:35 31/07/01 +0200, you wrote:
I want to do the following: backup all my sensitive date from my main server, pack it into one file and then get it transfered to my backup server.
That's fine but my problem is that those two machines aren't in the same local network. So if I do not encrypt my data it would be (more or less) visible to everybody on the net (who has some hacking knowledge). But as I said this data is sensible (passwords, creditcards, ...)! So I thought of ssh or scp BUT how to automate this process of backing up? I would have to specify user AND password in my backup-script. How do specify a password for ssh / scp in a script??
Plese Help! Luke
