Backuo to third source ?
Hello,

If I have these two working copies that is because some days, I work on my laptop, and some days I work at the office computer.

I was thinking if it is possible to backup to a thrd source (like say an external HD), because today I am not able to access my office computer remotely over ssh.

so should I run it like this

Code:
#commands to backup into 3rd source
rsync -auzv "path in laptop" "pathin 3rd location"


#commands to backup from 3rd source to office computer, before I start working on the office computer.
rsync -auzv "path in 3rd location" "path in office comptuer"

#After the end of the day s work at the office computer., commands to backup into third source
rsync -auzv "path in office comptuer"  "path in 3rd location"

#and then backup to the laptop

rsync -auzv "path in 3rd location" "path in laptop"

I thiink I am complicating stuff here, but is there a simpler way out ?
