Hello all,
I am wondering if it would be possible to write a script or a cronjob in
linux using Rsync to run an automated backup of a server, or serveral
servers if possible. I am very new with writing scripts and such, so any
help or suggestions with how to get started would be great!!!
Thanks

I have checked the config file and have not found any duplicates. Here is my
config file:
uid = user
gid = users
read only

Yes I understand that ssh is not
I figured out the ssh error. Although I am still unable to connect to the
remote host with the rsync daemon. Here is the error that I am getting
again:
# rsync -zav --progress root@::realperson
/random/file-or-directory
rsync: failed to connect to : Connection timed out (110)
rsync error: error i
Now I have a new situation, the linux OS was reinstalled (it crashed after a
bad restart) on the remote linux box where I was working with rsync. I have
reconfigured everything back to the way tit was before and I am now getting
a new error with the following command:
# rsync -zav --progress :/ra

So now I have tried the daemon again, and got a password prompt, which is
