Hey there, I'm trying to do a very simple rsync to back up my computer to an external drive connected via usb every night, but it keeps asking for a password. I tried using the password file flag, but it looks like that is only a daemon. Does anyone have any ideas? This has eaten up a lot of my time unfortunately. I would really appreciate it. Thanks so much.
here is a sample of my rsync
every time, it asks for a password. is there any way to automate that so i can schedule it?
