Hello all,
I have a small personal/hobby website that I would like to backup (mirror) to a 2nd host server. These are fairly simple phpNUKE/mySQL sites.
I would like to setup a crontab to launch a script that uses rsync to send incremental files to the backup server and exclude certain files/folders. The script should e-mail me only if it fails to execute.
While this does not look too complicated I have yet to be able to get this to work properly.
I would like to keep this as simple as possible with clear explanations and instructions in the comments. I should easily be able to just change the parameters to get this working.
Thank you
