Backup to Server

[adamvk]

Is there an easy way to backup files to web server? I have my server mounted in Finder/Desktop, and I'm wondering if theres an easy way to make it backup a certain folder similar to Time Machine.

Thanks.

Look into rsync (and Grsync).

I second this. If you're crossing insecure links, you can even have it run through the ssh daemon to secure it.

For a simple rsync, you would do the following in Terminal:

rsync -av /path/to/source /path/to/server

Forgot all about this thread until now. I wish Macrumors had an option to email me when a thread is replied to.

Thanks for the application advice.
