Versions (?)

Simple rsync backupscript.

 / Published in: Bash
 

URL: webschuur.com

This script pulls in files with rsync, storing them locally with hardlinks for unchanged, and real files for changed -files.

  • KEY=$HOME/.ssh/iddsapasswdless -- an id_rtsa key without a password. --adding this to remote authorized keys must be done with care: you will prbably want to whitelist one IP-adress.
  • RHOST=ssh.example.com -- the host where to connect to using ssh, or rsync.
  • RUSER=example-username -- the username on the host. Must have read access in the SOURCE dit (see below).
  • LPATH=$HOME/Archive/example-com/ -- where to place the backups
  • RPATH=/var/www/example-com/ -- the to-be-backuped dir.

You probably want to add this as script (backup_example-com.sh) in ~/bin, or any other directory available in $PATH. And then add it to crontab.
