I have seen many ways to setup a rsync backup but I have never got one to work on a centos machine. I have used 4.5 and 5.0 If anyone could point me in the right direction, much thanks.

Here are two, one remote (via ssh) and one on my lan. Both of these are cron jobs that run in the middle of the night.

rsync -rvz --delete --links bargainhunter:/opt/bargainhunter/ /mnt/fileserver/bargainhunterbackup

rsync -rv --links --delete /home/frankcox/ /mnt/fileserver/backup
