Hi Les
I am trying to use rsync
1/ Are both machine to have rsync installed?
2/ machine A#rsync -essh machineB:/ . I try this command but what wrong I am
rsync -essh root@machineB:/ . skipping directory /. client: nothing to do: perhaps you need to specify some filenames or the --recursive option?
Thank you for your help

You need a - after the f options to represent stdin/stdout and some appropriate quoting.
ssh root@machineB 'tar cvf - /' |tar xvf -
(and you probably want to use --one-file-system or some excludes to avoid /proc and any NFS/cdrom mounts).
But, I'd recommend: rsync -essh machineB:/ . instead (also per filesystem with --one-file-system)
- especially if you
want to repeat it or restart after interruption.
