looking at your crontab entry, that would run it every hour. also,
i'm using the -vu so it's verbose and update only, respectively, read
more on rsync(1)

Subject: using rsync to copy a file system


Greetings!

I'd like to use rsync to sync /home2 on a local server with /home on
a remote server.  
Could any of you who is familiar with using rsync tell me whether
this is the right approach?
(this is a cron job)

0 * * * * /usr/local/bin/rsync -az --delete remote_server:/home/
/home2

Thanks in advance.
