Hi, I've been able to do a backup but I was not able to automate the process. The problem is I do not always have the laptop connected to the server. So the server should check first if the laptop is connected. Or maybe, the laptop should be the one issuing the backup. Anyway, what should I had to the cron? I'm using vcron but I've never dealt with vcron since I don't need it. But now I do. Can you please tell me what you have in your cron? Oh, and I've not been able to configure ssh not to ask for a password. I have to insert it always to backup anything.
