Anything I search for to find this keeps giving me links to backing up your
home directory, and I know how to do that.
What I'm concerned with is setting the home directory in /etc/rsyncd.conf. In
other words, if I type:
rsync thisdir me@backupsys::Backup
How can I specify in rsyncd.conf that it's using /home/me/Backup?
I've tried something like this:
[Backup]
path = $HOME/Backup/
Comment = Backup service for each individual user
read only = no
and I can't get that to work. I tried using "~/Backup" for the path and using
RSYNC_USER_NAME and %u, but that won't work. So how can I specify, in rsyncd.conf that
the path leads to a directory in the home directory of the logged in rsync user?
Thanks for any help on this!
Can't you write a rule per homedir (user) to backup? If you have
too many users to do it by hand, you may write a script that
automatically updates /etc/rsyncd.conf.
For example, I do this to maintain /etc/fstab and /etc/hosts on a few
computers, by concatenating /etc/.d/* to /etc/ see this
script:
