fstab updated. Just needed to use UUID=, not PARTUUID. I do notice significantly long boot times now, guess it takes a while to get the RAID1 up. Used to take 5 seconds to be available to ssh into, now takes about 45 seconds to a minute.
I think I'd like the server to initiate the backup. So, first, I think I should set up ssh keys. So the client/server (who's on first!) confusion rears it's ugly head. For the server (the storage center) to contact the client (one of several laptops), I need to use the client's public key? So I need to create the client's key pair? Once I have the client's public key I use the ssh-copy-id command from the client to the server? Now if I want no passwords sent what do I do? (Just keys). I didn't quite understand the example on https://www.howtogeek.com/424510/how-to-create-and-install-ssh-keys-from-the-linux-shell/ It seems one can have the passphrase last a session, how to get it to remember to use the clients' keys in "perpetuity"? If there's a problem, how to revoke the keys? Have some questions on rsync --backup option, is there a way to have like a rotating backup, say a weeks worth? I don't understand the difference between --backup and just using -avr, what is the advantage of --backup? The rsync man file was not clear to me (today).
