Hi guys,

I setup rsync with ssh (password less) to backup from my computer tiger to Leopard, but it seems don't back up any thing.

Code:

administrators-MyMac:~ root# rsync -r -e ssh /Volumes/G5/Users/apple2/Desktop/* root@192.168.1.10:/Volumes/Server\ HD/Users/apple2/Desktop
administrators-MyMac:~ root#

It seems working but when i check folder 'Users/apple2/Desktop' in server 192.168.1.10, then there is not thing in there.

Any suggestion ? Thanks

have you tried RsyncX.app

Its a GUI for that terminal command, much easier to set up and use
