Hi.
I have a dedicated server with a specialist application that is installed in the /home directory. It is probably quite large in the region of a couple of gig.
I have root access via SSH. I have been using PUTTY and WINSCP to administer this server.
My question is how do I make a backup of my home directory and the entire contents ?
What are the commands for this using putty ?
When I have the backup I will download it and store it offsite.
Any help will be appreciated as this is urgently needed.
Thank youMore Information:
- If you're backing up your entire system as the root user, don't forget to backup these items in everyone's home directory, including /root
- Also, because the contents of your FileVault-protected home directory are technically on another volume, CCC will not back up the contents of your home directory

- I ask because I already maintain an rsync'd home directory between my different computers (for ease and backup) and hoped that I might be able to create

- However, the current version of Apple's Backup program will let you store your files locally on a hard drive, CD or DVD
- attach external usb harddisk debian; automatically back up debian home directory to external; back up linux usb; back up my home linux; backing up database to external
- creates a cpio archive file (containing the everything in /home/) called home-backup
- This also lead me down the path to look at RSyncX for syncing my iBook with my G5 (Home directory only)
