My notebook syncronization

gacq.com-get

echo Receiving.....
rsync -avuze 'ssh -p 22' --delete anysyncuser@myserver:/srv/gacq/rsync/ rsync

Duplicando una maquina con rsync

rsync -v -r -p -o -g -D -t -S -l -H \
--exclude /mnt/   \
--exclude /proc/ \
--exclude /tmp/ \
--exclude /home/ / /mnt/fireball/

Boot from a CD-ROM and mount the target-disk. Fix fstab and lilo.conf. Create /mnt and /proc and set the right permissions (for this directories). Then run lilo and reboot. Next time you run rsync, add these option to the command-line:

--exclude /etc/fstab \
--exclude /etc/lilo.conf \
--delete 

Backup using rsync and ssh

ssh-keygen -t dsa -f host.domain.com.ar-id_dsa
