Mark -
Thanks! That did it.
/usr/bin/rsync -av --exclude=".*" -e ssh /home/ 192.168.0.22:/home/
My next step will be to brush the dust off of my Perl book and write a
crontab script to backup nightly.
Question: I may not be using the term "backup" absolutely correctly.
The destination server is a "standby" server. This is if the source
server fails, all I have to do is change the router to point to the
standby server. These are in a home office and I do not consider myself
a system administrator; just someone who knows enough to keep the server
running (it's main task is FTPing). Do you have any suggestions about
using rsync as I am doing?
