Bryan,

I use rsync tunnelled through a SSH connection, and I set it up so that it
doesn't need a password. Now I can run it in the background as a cron job.
Here is the command that I send if I wanted to backup all the sites from one
raq to another.

This should all be one line:

rsync -azv -e "ssh -i /home/sites/home/users/username/.ssh/id_dsa -2"
--rsync-path=/home/rsync/bin/rsync /home/sites/
username@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/home/sites

It's pretty easy to set up. Just keep reading the manual and check the Rsync
website. They've got a great faq section that gives you plenty of examples.

HTH,
