[KLUG Members] linux/windows backup options

[Matt Terry]

rsync over ssh..

All you need is a windows ssh/rsync client, create a ssh key, copy and paste the
key to the auth_users file on your server. Now just setup a batch script run rsync.. 
then schedule a cron job, or a task, or whatever they call it in windows...

very usefule backup tool...

syntax should be something like: 
rsync -i ~/.ssh/auth_keys -e ssh src_file.tar.gz 12.34.56.789:/remote/backup/


eh heres some stuff... havent tried 'these' tools but they should work.

Also, try googling 'rsync windows'
