It also presumes you are allowing root ssh login on the machine that you connect to that takes the backups. Note also that the -X flag on the rsync command will copy across the security contexts of files and directories - if you are not running SElinux enabled then that flag is not needed. Not also that it is set up to remove files on the backup area where they no longer exist in the machine being backed up. Additionally it is worth mentioning that first time round this takes a while as all files have to be copied, but in the future only files that have changed get copied across - hence this is a very quick incremental backup and the receiving disk has essentially an exact match to the directories being backed up. If you have two backup disks then you can alternate them for each successive backup so that if there were some problem during the backup process you would still have to previous copy. This system also means that recovering files or directories and their contents is very easy by simply doing a reverse rsync to copy back files that you want - and it is also very simple to find files on the backup area using the "find" command. Having this script located on the sbin area of each machine where you want to run a backup is easy to do and each machine can be configured separately by altering the script. I can usually run a backup from around 5 machines in about a quarter of an hour once the system is set up. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/backup-of-my---filesystem-tp21117673p21156816.html Sent from the Fedora List mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
