# rbackup.sh -- secure backup to a remote machine using rsync.

# Directories to backup. Separate with a space. Exclude trailing slash!
SOURCES="/home/adnane/these"

# IP or FQDN of Remote Machine
RMACHINE=mydomaine.com

# Remote username
RUSER=root


# Directory to backup to on the remote machine. This is where your backup(s) will be stored
# Exclude trailing slash!
RTARGET="/root/backup"

# Your EXCLUDE_FILE tells rsync what NOT to backup. Leave it unchanged, missing or
# empty if you want to backup all files in your SOURCES. If performing a
# FULL SYSTEM BACKUP, ie. Your SOURCES is set to "/", you will need to make
# use of EXCLUDE_FILE. The file should contain directories and filenames, one per line.
# An example of a EXCLUDE_FILE would be:
# /proc/
# /tmp/
# /mnt/
# *.SOME_KIND_OF_FILE
EXCLUDE_FILE=

# Comment out the following line to disable verbose output
VERBOSE="-v"
