It's all useful and anything learned is good. I really don't know what
is "more" useful. Just offering an alternative choice.
Peter:
As I read your comment it occurred to me that we don't have to backup
to another machine. We can just back up to another directory. Our
give him the old-reliable, tried and true methods like
http://www.faqs.org/docs/securing/chap29sec306.html see how much
simpler
that script is than the rsync script? Pretty much the same features.
Remember the less services you use, the better (for security mostly).
Personnally I refuse to run ftpd & rsyncd on any of my servers. All
that
rsync crap is ment for mirroring and developers. The same people using
rcp I guess.
rsync over ssh seems pretty secure and stable. It works for me.
I can get the same rsync behavior from RH's ftpcopy package for
updating
of new and modified files on any existing FTP server. After-all isn't
rsync just FTP used a diffferent way on a different port?
That's great and not really. I am confused about the refusal to run a
ftpd but the preference of using ftpcopy from a ftp server. I don't
know much, though.
