Hello,
I'm trying to do backups with rsync through ssh. This is what I wrote yet:
src="/vrmd/webserver/" today=`date +%F` #link_dest="[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/vrmd/admin/backup/web/2004-09-05" link_dest="../2004-09-05" dest="[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/vrmd/admin/backup/web/$today" rsync -av -e ssh --delete --link-dest=$link_dest $src $dest
in 2004-09-05 (on the dest-server) is the directory with the backup from yesterday. Of course, I only want changed files to be copied. I thought that link-dest is the right thing for this, so that each file from /vrmd/webserver is either hardlinked to the already backuped file in 2004-09-05 or it will be copied to 2004-09-06. But as it seems, link-dest doesn't work through ssh (or remote in general?) but only at local systems. I don't have enough space for local backups, there's also no possiblity to add another drive in a 1HE 19" server and I can't mount in an NFS-device, because this doesn't work through the firewall. Is --link-dest thought to work with a host:path parameter?
