How to backup a directory (sub-directories/files) files from one server on to other ?
Hello,
Server A: /directory1/
Server B: /Backups/
i wanted to backup contents of /directory1 from "server A" on to "Server B" every 1 hour.
If there is any change in (only new/differences) contents on serverA (directory1/) supposed to be backeup on next run.
I did used rsync command to sync manually from server A to B using normal user. concept is working.
as a normal user
But i would like to automate this using scheduler using root.
My issue is,
I can not use password less SSH to automate this rysnc process (am familiar with password less ssh). Because direct/remote login disabled for root user. I do not want to enable it and sharing root public keys from one server to other server is not recommend in my situation.
Server A directory1/files owned by root.
Server B /Backups/ directory is also owned by root.
Can you please give me any idea on how to "set up password less automated rsync from server A to server B" with out enabling direct root login ?
thanks

Find all files in the current directory only excluding hidden directories and files.
For the below command, though it's not deleting hidden files.. it is traversing through the hidden directories and listing normal which should be avoided.

svn::notify::mirror::rsync
SVN::Notify::Mirror::Rsync(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation SVN::Notify::Mirror::Rsync(3pm)NAME
SVN::Notify::Mirror::Rsync - Mirror a repository path via Rsync
SYNOPSIS
Use svnnotify in post-commit:
svnnotify --repos-path "$1" --revision "$2"
--handler Mirror::Rsync --to "/path/to/local/htdocs"
[--svn-binary /full/path/to/svn]
--rsync-host remote_server
[--rsync-delete=[yes|no]]
[--rsync-dest "/path/on/remote/server"]
[--rsync-args arg1 [--rsync-args arg2...]]
[[--rsync-ssh] [--ssh-user remote_user]
[--ssh-identity /home/user/.ssh/id_rsa]]
or better yet, use SVN::Notify::Config for a more sophisticated setup:
#!/usr/bin/perl -MSVN::Notify::Config=$0
--- #YAML:1.0
'':
PATH: "/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin"
'path/in/repository':
handler: Mirror
to: "/path/to/www/htdocs"
'some/other/path/in/repository':
handler: Mirror
to: "/path/to/local/www/htdocs"
rsync-host: "remote_host"
rsync-dest: "/path/on/remote/www/htdocs"
ssh-user: "remote_user"
ssh-identity: "/home/user/.ssh/id_rsa"
DESCRIPTION
Keep a directory in sync with a portion of a Subversion repository. Typically used to keep a development web server in sync with the
changes made to the repository. This directory can either be on the same box as the repository itself, or it can be remote (via SSH
connection).
USAGE
Depending on whether the target is a "Local Mirror" or a Remote Mirror, there are different options available. All options are available
either as a commandline option to svnnotify or as a hash key in SVN::Notify::Config (see their respective documentation for more details).
Working Copy on Local host
Because 'svn export' is not able to be consistently updated, the local rsync'd directory must be a full working copy. The remote server
will only contain the ordinary files (no Subversion admin files).
The files in the working copy must be writeable (preferrably owned) by the user identity executing the hook script (this is the user
identity that is running Apache or svnserve respectively).
Local Mirror
Please see " SVN::Notify::Mirror " for details.
Remote Mirror
Used for directories not located on the same machine as the repository itself. Typically, this might be a production web server located in
a DMZ, so special consideration must be paid to security concerns. In particular, the remote mirror server may not be able to directly
access the repository box.
o rsync-host
This value is required and must be the hostname or IP address of the remote host (where the mirror directories reside).
o rsync-delete
The default mode of operation is to delete remote files which are not present in the local working copy. NOTE: this will delete any
unversioned files in the remote directory tree. Unless you have all of your files under version control, you should pass the
"--no-rsync-delete" or "--rsync-delete no" option.
o rsync-dest
This optional value specifies the path to update on the remote host. If you do not specify this value, the same path as passed in as
the "--to" parameter will be used (this may not be what you meant to do).
o rsync-args
This optional parameter can be used to pass additional commandline options to the rsync command. You can use this multiple times in
order to pass multiple options. The default args are "--archive --compress". See the "rsync-ssh" options for using SSH instead of RSH
(rather than pass those commands via "--rsync-args"
o rsync-ssh
This optional parameter signals that you wish to use SSH instead of whatever the default remote shell program is configured in your
copy of rsync. You may need to set one or more of the "ssh-*" parameters as well.
o ssh-user
If the remote user is different than the local user executing the postcommit script, you can specify it with this parameter. You would
often use this in conjunction with the next parameter.
o ssh-identity
This value may be optional and should be the full path to the local identity file being used to authenticate with the remote host. If
you are setting the ssh-user to be something other than the local user name, you will typically also have to set the ssh-identity.
