[CentOS] Two Samba Servers and Rsync

[Railic Njegos]

I plan to use copy as backup, because second server will be old
physical computer(about 2TB disk)
in remote office and first server will be virtual machine on storage.
On first server i plan to
have one folder where i plan to copy over rsync all files from second server.
