Sure - rsync will do exactly what you want. http://joshua14.homelinux.org/blog/?p=476

Similar to what you asked before:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...backup-892023/

And it's possible by you writing the script. Again, you omit the important details that anyone would need to be able to help you. How much data? What is the bandwidth between the two servers? Want full backups or incremental? What is your rotation rate? Versions of files? What software are you using to back up your data?? The subject of backing up a Linux server has been covered many times on here...use the search function.

Rsync will work to keep two locations identical, but you need to realize the difference between that, and a true backup. What if a file gets corrupted?? The corruption at sitea will be mirrored to siteb, so when you 'restore' the file, you won't have it. That's where versioning comes in to play. Look at Amanda or bacula.

rsync would be best to backup your data.

Sorry, no...rsync will make a COPY of one set of data to another, but see previous comments about that not actually being a 'real' backup.

You can take help from these websites for securely copying data:

http://blog.schmichael.com/2008/03/1...sing-ssh-keys/
http://archive09.linux.com/feature/113847

In these websites they show how you can securely(through ssh key) backup your data and then you can put the command of copying in crontab to automate it or you can create your own script to automate it...
