dparoli / hrsync Goto Github PK

I found your idea/script very intreaging and would like to use it myself for my backup. Please excuse me raising an issue, I could not find any other way of contacting you.

currently the backup works like this:

• files on remote (source) - device at home
• backup on local (target) - device not at home
• ta bash script on target, pulling the data from remote
• rsync is connecting to remote via rsync module, not ssh

now, when I try to create source shadow it wont work because rsync cant handle remote target and source: "The source and destination cannot both be remote"

how did you overcome this? not using modules? only use rsync local? special rsync?

There are problems of using ssh (both systems are embedded NAS devices and I rather would not implement ssh-login via cert since it will break sooner or later when an update is installed)
It is also not viable to push the files from source to target since target needs to be in control of when to pull files

And I dont see much sense in creating the shadow dirs locally when the update is the important part and wont work because source/destination would be remote again...
Besides, running multiple scripts on different machines in the hope that they all start and finnish just right is asking for trouble...

Hi

I've tried to modify your script to perform backup over internet using ssh. No sucess,, so I guess that I dont fully understand your script.

Can you give me a hint how to do it??
