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
