rsync:

<pre style="background-color:#ffffff;">

</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">TIMESTAMP_LOG="/path/to/logdir/.backuplog"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">BACKUP_DEST="server:/path/to/backup/$1"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">TIMESTAMP=$(date +"%Y-%m-%d %H:$M:%S")
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">echo "backup to:$BACKUP_DEST"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">echo "Backup: $BACKUP_DEST $TIMESTAMP" >> $TIMESTAMP_LOG
</span><span style="color:#323232;">pause
</span><span style="color:#323232;">rsync -auvh /path/to/homedir* rhudson@$BACKUP_DEST
</span>

This should be called with a name of a target subdirectory in BACKUP_DEST… mine are rsynca, rsyncb, rsyncc but I will change this soon for day of week based directories.

I also have certificate authentication setup on ssh on my server - that’s why no password is needed.

Someday I will set up tailscale between this machine and the server.
