How to rsync from server to server

[mario]

This dude has a good tutorial but it didn't work lol

Do this on the remote server:

yum install rsync
mkdir -p /var/ServerBackup
ssh-keygen

send id_rsa.pub file to main server
scp /root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub [email protected]:/root/id_rsa.pub

Do this on the main server:
mkdir -p /root/.ssh
chmod 700 /root/.ssh
touch /root/.ssh/authorized_keys
chmod 600 /root/.ssh/authorized_keys


cat /root/id_rsa.pub >> /root/.ssh/authorized_keys

add a cron:

crontab -e
0 2 * * * root bash backup.sh # the script file backup.sh is scheduled to be executed every day at 2:00AM.

make the cron bash file
cd /
vi backup.sh

#!/bin/sh

/usr/bin/rsync -avz -e "ssh -i /root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub" [email protected]:/etc /var/ServerBackup


Then you need to chmod the bashfile you just made(make it an exuacable file):
chmod +x backup.sh



/usr/bin/rsync -avz -e "ssh -i /root/id_rsa.pub" /var/www [email protected]:/Backup
