dspace@repository:~$ sudo rsync localhost::home drwxr-xr-x 4096 2013/12/02 14:27:48 . drwxr-xr-x 4096 2013/12/05 12:29:27 dspace
Add a firewall rule to allow the backup server to get to the backup files using the "rsync" service
It is assumed that you have enabled a firewall on your IR server, if not please go to: http://wiki.lib.sun.ac.za/index.php/SUNScholar/Firewall and do so.
Then add the following firewall to allow the backup server to connect:
sudo ufw allow from %server-hostname% to any port 873
Replace %server-hostname% with the server hostname of your backup server.
