I am doing backups of a remote server by mounting the remote server using NFS. I am now running into the same problem that I was having trying different ftp programs to mirror it. The problem is deleting files on the backup server that are not on the remote server. There is not ssh access to the remote server and the ftp daemon on the remote server sucks to say the least. Anyway, I have the remote server NFS'd to the local (backup) server. Is there an easy way to mirror the directory recursively from the nfs drive to the local drive? I NEVER want to delete anything from the NFS'd drive.
rsync seems to be your best bet :)
It will also give you the ability to do away with your nfs mount since rsync can function via ssh and other less secure protocols not requiring the filesystem to be local, this the r in rsync.
Thanks, but nope. I have a choice of ftp, and nfs. rsync is one of the first things that I had checked into when we took this job to do a remote backup for a customer. Will rsync work the nfs mount like it was remote? The customer is running a Snap server that doesn't allow ssh, telnet, rsync. It allows limited ftp and it allows nfs.
