This is an example for a very very very simple rsync backup environment! DO NOT USE IN A PRODUCTIVE ENVIRONMENT!
RSYNC SERVER - RECEIVER
/etc/xinetd.conf: service rsync { disable = no socket_type = stream wait = no user = root server = /usr/bin/rsync server_args = --daemon log_on_failure += USERID }
/etc/rsyncd.conf: max connections = 2 log file = /var/log/rsync.log timeout = 300 [backupmodule] comment = Random things available for download path = /var/backup/ read only = no list = yes uid = root gid = root
RSYNC CLIENT - PUSHER
resync -av --progress /backup/this rsync://192.168.0.240/backupmodule/
