About a year and a half ago, someone answered a request on how to set up rsync so that the encryption was automatically setup (wish I knew more about the technical aspects). It has been in use for the time since then and it has been great. Now I have to replace the destination computer and setting up, what I call the encryption part, is the part I have forgotten how to do. This is the command line: /usr/bin/rsync -av -e ssh /home/ 192.168.0.22:/home/ Is there anyone who can translate what I am trying to do?
