rsync backup

[Brian Craft]

I use rsync both at work and home for daily backups.   For my laptop at 
home that has a separate partition just for backups, I wrote the 
following script file and then set a cron job to run each morning at 
2am.  I'm not excluding anything, but here is what I'm using. I just put 
the following in a new file and name it backup.sh (make it executable).


#!/bin/sh

rsync -avh /home/brian/ 
/media/b0f19085-3ada-4af8-b201-6f53cdd73899/ubuntu910backup/


Hope that helps
