scp:

sshpass -p 'password' scp root@ipaddress:/source/ /destination

dow=`date +%A`

add that as a variable, then put that in the script for your rsync:

rsync --rsh="sshpass -p password ssh -l root" ipaddress:/source/* /destination/${dow}

This will then create a sub-directory with the day of the week as the top directory. this will give you 7 days worth of backups.

Use ssh auth-keys; do not put passwds in scripts http://www.linuxtopia.org/online_boo...erate-keypairs
