good afternoon everyone! i am new to this list, so please forgive me for my ignorance.
first, i have configured passwordless ssh to allow automatic trust between remote sites within the same internal network. i used the RSA keygen for that. secondly, i have a number of .dmg files kept on my master imaging server that need to be backed up off-site in the various schools around the district. not all the images go to every school, and i'm trying to avoid having multiple copies of the same image on the master. what i did was to set up directories for each location and place aliases of the images to go to each location in that directory. to accomplish this goal, i placed the following line in my crontab on the master. (time for this to execute) rsync -e ssh -avzuLE --copy-links /Volumes/Storage/lincoln/ 172.16.40.200:/images/ perhaps there's a problem with my syntax? any help for this underfunded school district would be greatly appreciated! --john -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
