Ok, so I want to rsync /mnt/www/ with /var/www/html/backup/
How would I go about doing that? I've tried searching for examples, but they are leaving me very confused.
Read the man page; long and somewhat complex but very useful. Also:
# rsync -av /mnt/www/* /var/www/html/backup/
should do the trick, copying all of the files and directories in /mnt/www (see the "/*" at the end, meaning "everything inside") recursively and depositing them all in the /var/www/html/backup directory (inside the directory, because of the last "/"). Be careful where you do or do not use the trailing slash, and see the values of -a and -v in the man page, as well as many other useful things.
If using rsync remotely to mirror entire trees it's as simple as:
# rsync -av -e ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/path/to/files/* [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/path/to/files/
Enter your password, and you're good to go. Use certificates for unattended operation.
