Backing up a Linux Server with rsync

When it comes to sending files from one device to another, rsync is legendary. Using rsync, you can back up critical data and send it to a backup device, network share, an offsite server and more. In this video, you’ll see an example of backing up critical data on a server with rsync.

  1. I’ve been using rsync for quite a while now but I used an alias as I haven’t got by head into bash scripting yet.

    I like the idea of creating a directory with the current date. I assume that’s the reason you created a script for that?

    Thanks for the video & keep up the great work. :slight_smile:
