copying/backing up between 2 linux pc's across network.
Hello there,
This is my first proper install of Linux for a job.
Have a situation where there is 2 Linux servers.
Server 1 = Redhat 7.2 - 192.168.0.1
Server 2 = Redhat 9.0 - 192.168.0.3
Both have been setup with Samba, no network problems.
Server 1 has been installed before my time.
Server 2 is a new server which has just been installed.
Basically we want to copy the home and a shared directory
from Server2 to a new created shared directory on Server1 so it can grab the data onto Server1 backup tapes using Arkeia.
Is there a way to accomplish this and perhaps make this an automated routine with crontab.
That's all I can think of the moment to describe the situation.
Please ask if you need any more info and I do my best to anwser them.
Thanks very very much for your reply, I was getting worried that no one was replying. Will definetely give it go.
Monday is the start of another week and hopefully of success
The scp suggestions seems alot clearer and easier for me to try first.
As there is only about 4 users on the new server and I think I have setup the directory structure quite simple
They will only be storing word, excel docs. so hopefully the above commands will grab the whole home users directories.
Sounds like once those commands work, I could add those commands to some of script to automate it. But that will be next step in figuring how to create them for linux.
using the /* to specify the files inside the directory instead of just the directories
now that i am taking a linux class and starting to learn more about linux, i am starting to go into these forums and look for topics that have no replies and take a stab at them

Haven't had much time to give this 100% as I really like to. so many interruptions when you don't need it.
Had a little problems with the RSA key authorization at first when trying the
scp commands suggested above. It was not wanting to connect at all between the 2 PC's but researching up I found
this article. Which is almost what I would like to achieve in my situation.
