Hello, I am in the process of making a "hot" copy of our main server here. The logical way (at least in my mind) would be to use rsync. I want to run it through a cron job every night or so. I believe I basically have two options here. One would be run rsync as a daemon and allow anonymous connections to it and copy the data like that. There are some security measures with the rysncd.conf such as hosts allow and hosts deny and some other things you can do as far as a security precaution. I just don't like the thought of having anonymous copying off our data. The second way would be to login as root with rysnc using empty rsa passwords. There are obvious security risks with that. Which way would the people on this list proceed with the task? Are there alternatives that I am missing that would be better? Thanks for the time. Have a good one.
