* Stephen T. Shipley <steve@e-shipley.com> [011127 03:57]: > Configure rsync.conf on source server (with 40g file) and run as a daemon. Provide a net name like "www" for alias to path. > And possibly run from one of the /etc/periodic/daily scripts like this (on destination box). > > /usr/local/bin/rsync -e /usr/bin/ssh -avz <source address>::www \ I think (though could be wrong) that the double colon here ^^ will cause rsync to use rsh as a transport, despite the fact that you specified ssh as an *available* transport with '-e ssh' earlier. And while we're on the subject, what's the safest way of doing this as root (to preserve permissions, and have access to a whole fs tree; I'm not too bothered about crypto at the destination directory) Cheers. > /usr/local/www/data/home_something_destination && rc=0||rc=3 -- Love and scandal are the best sweeteners of tea.
