we use rsync to perform the backup process in Linux/UNIX.

$ rsync –zvr /home/linuxconcept/newweb/ /var/www/linuxconcept/
$ ls –l  /home/linuxconcept/newweb/index.html  /var/www/linuxconcept/index.html
$ rsync –zva /home/linuxconcept/newweb/ /var/www/linuxconcept/
$ rsync –v /etc/ssl/linuxconcept/pubkeys /home/linuxconcept/pubkeys
$ rsync -avz  /root/temp/   linuxconcept@192.168.2.10:/home/linuxconcept/temp/
$ rsync -avz  linuxconcept@192.168.2.10:/home/linuxconcept/satish   /root/temp
$ rsync -avz -e ssh  linuxconcept@192.168.2.10:/home/linuxconcept/satish  /root/temp
$ rsync -avzhe ssh –progress /home/linuxconcept  linuxconcept@192.168.2.10:/root/rpmpkgs
$ rsync  –avz   – -delete  linuxconcept@192.168.2.10:/home/linuxconcept/    .
$ rsync  –avzhe ssh  – -max-size=’400k’  /home/linuxconcept/satish/  linuxconcept@192.168.2.10:/home/linuxconcept/tmp
