RSYNC Backup:
#!/bin/sh
# Author: Brice Burgess - bhb@iceburg.net
# rbackup.sh -- secure backup to a remote machine using rsync.
# Directories to backup. Separate with a space. Exclude trailing slash!
SOURCES="/home/ /etc /var /root"
# IP or FQDN of Remote Machine
RMACHINE=<ip>
# Remote username
RUSER=root
# Location of passphraseless ssh keyfile
RKEY=/root/rsync-key
# Directory to backup to on the remote machine. This is where your backup(s) will be stored
# Exclude trailing slash!
RTARGET="/backups/hostname"
# Set the number of backups to keep (greater than 1). Ensure you have adaquate space.
ROTATIONS=3
# Your EXCLUDE_FILE tells rsync what NOT to backup. Leave it unchanged, missing or
# empty if you want to backup all files in your SOURCES. If performing a
# FULL SYSTEM BACKUP, ie. Your SOURCES is set to "/", you will need to make
# use of EXCLUDE_FILE. The file should contain directories and filenames, one per line.
# An example of a EXCLUDE_FILE would be:
# /proc/
# /tmp/
# /mnt/
# *.SOME_KIND_OF_FILE
EXCLUDE_FILE="/path/to/your/exclude_file.txt"
# Comment out the following line to disable verbose output
