SUNScholar/Disaster Recovery/Backups/Client Setup

Create an rsync config file.

nano /etc/rsyncd.conf

Copy and paste the following.

[backup]
path = /var/backup

[home]
path = /home

Enable the rsync server.

nano /etc/default/rsync

Change false to true.

RSYNC_ENABLE=true

Now you start the rsync server as follows:

/etc/init.d/rsync restart

Check the rysnc server.

rsync localhost::backup

rsync localhost::home

Now we add a firewall rule to allow the backup server to get to the backup files, type as follows:

ufw allow from %hostname% to any 873

Replace %hostname% with the hostname of your backup server.
