We use rsync to create two duplicate servers. It's an efficient way to backup since it doesn't backup everything, just the changes. We did use the encryption option too, but later changed over to a private LAN to run backups among systems. This example does the job of backing up outworks.com's billybob directory to when run from another system. /usr/local/bin/rsync -e /usr/local/bin/ssh -vta outworks.com:/usr/home/billybob /usr1/home/billybob -Alex ----- Original Message ----- From: "Simon" <simon@optinet.com> To: "freebsd-isp@freebsd.org" <freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG>; <peter@sysadmin-inc.com> Sent: Thursday, January 25, 2001 11:25 AM Subject: Re: Simple backup program. > We use IDE harddrive / tar zcf ... to backup important files and have them available for fast restore if needed.
