Hello.... Can anyone help me? I want to do backups of 4 machines to a backup server ( all running Unix ) machine 1 LINUX REDHAT 6 machine 2 SOLARIS 2.6 machine 3 FREEBSD machine 4 LINUX REDHAT 6 backup FREEBSD The idea is to use the crontab daemon to scp the machines necessary files to the backup server, and then for the backup server to....well of course back them up. The first question is : 1) Is this way correct. 2) How do I get the backup to accecpt scp connections without a password from only those machines. 3) How to set up the crontab file on the machines to perform the sending tasks. I have tried to edit the sshd config files....but no luck. I have also tried some tests with crontab file ..... no luck. Note: You might wonder why I am asking these questions......well actually I am new to UNIX aprox 4 weeks. So all the advice would be appreciated.
