Hello All,
I have an off topic question about rsync and was wondering if i can get some kind person help with it. I have two servers with each server have three same directories on them /dir1/ /dir2/ /dir3/ . How would i achieve this by using rsync? I have tried rsync -avrt --delete server_ip:/dir1/ /dir2/ /dir3/ /dir1/ /dir2/ /dir3/ this does not do anything except give errors.
I usually set up an rsync module on the remote system allowing writes, and restricting access to the IP address of the machine initiating the backups. Say this is backups_upd. Then I'll do something like:
cd / for dir in dir*; do rsync --delete -axr $dir destmachine::backups_upd/$dir done
The section of the rsyncd.conf file might look like this:
[backups_upd] list = no uid = root gid = root read only = false use chroot = false path = /backups comment = /backups hosts allow = 192.168.0.0/16 hosts deny = *
