Backups using rsync and ssh
Managing multiple *nix machines can often be a pain in the arse. Backups are a must. I have written a basic backup script to meet my basic needs. It uses ssh and rsync, is capable of using ssh-agent - allowing for passphrase / phrase-less key usage ( handy for making it run out of cron ), runs pre/post operations - good for db backups. It is not supported, and will only chaged when I need changes :D!
The entire setup, including example pre/post scripts can be found here. If you find it useful, feel free to send me a comment or suggestion ;).
Cheers
