If you want to back up all of /home then you will have to do so as root, or create a home on the backup machine for each user, with the same uid/gid, make a key for each and run a cron for each. ugh. Have a look at rsnapshot, supports rsync over ssh and makes incremental backups very easy to manage. > > > > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > This email message is intended only for the addressee(s) > and contains information that may be confidential and/or > copyrighted.
