I want mount directory of one server to another over internet. I was looking to NFS4, but there are no security mechanisms. I need encrypted connection using private key (something like SFTP).
Or - if there is in CentOS repo (or EPEL) package, that can mount directory over internet using private key and make differential backup (like rdiff-backup).
Thank you very much for links or other resources work up
Why not just use rsync over ssh?
Backuppc is ideal for this - it not only uses rsync over ssh for the xfer (along with some other choices) but it keeps the files compressed and uses hardlinks to de-duplicate the storage so you can keep a much longer history on line than you would expect. There's an rpm in epel, home page is here: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
I agree with Les on this ... if you are looking to do those kind of backups, backuppc is very good. I use it in production at several places.
