Hi Les
I am trying to use rsync
1/ Are both machine to have rsync installed?
Yes, and the remote side needs ssh access.
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?
Sorry - the command should really be more like: rsync -essh -av root@machineB:/ .
If you specify a directory as the target, you must specify recursive also, but '-a' is a special option that includes many of the other options, including recursion. You probably also want --one-file-system or some --excludes to avoid taking /proc, though.
