This is hardly an rsync question... I would put the commands in a separate shell script file: #!/bin/sh rsync -auv --delete /Godfather/Music /Backup rsync -auv --delete /Godfather/Documents /Backup rsync -auv --delete /Godfather/Setups /Backup rsync -auv --delete /Godfather/Pictures /Backup rsync -auv --delete /Godfather/Backups /Backup rsync -auv --delete /Godfather/Videos /Backup Then make the file executable (chmod +x) and then put the name of the script in the crontab.
