Re: [MLUG] backup of home dir..

[Michael <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Set rsync to use ssh and then call it on a cronscript. Setting up to skip
pwd takes like 5 minutes. I never hafta type a pwd to logon to MLUG or
move files back and forth. Check into your ssh agent and make yourself a
key and copy it to your other account.
