Rsync with script

[tim.conway at philips.com]

There you go.  You're using the keys backwards.  identity.pub is the 
PUBlic key, and which you keep in ~/.ssh on the system you want to ssh 
into, not from.  It's the lock, and having a copy of a lock doesn't let 
you open others just like it.  You just don't want to let others write on 
it, as they can add their own authorized keys to your lock and open your 
account with their own keys.
identity is the non-public key.  If somebody can read it, they can use it 
to open your lock.

In your scenario, server should have identity.pub in authorized_keys and 
backup should use identity to access server.

I am sorry, its not working.
I have a server, lets call it 'server'
I have a backup, lets call it 'backup'

I run ssh-keygen on backup and then copy idendity.pub to
server:~/.ssh/authorized_keys
then I try to run ssh from server to backup but it asks me for password. I
dont know what I am doing wrong.
Please explain what to do after generating the key on backup.

Thanks

Hi,
I am trying to mirror a server every night using rsync. I have to backup
multiple directories and multiple individual files. I also want to use ssh
as transport.

The problem is that I cannot get ssh to work without asking password for
each step. I tried the public key thing but it doesnt work.
Can some one give instructions for a layman like me.
Also I want to know how to pass argument to sync multiple files and
directories by running rsyn just once.

I am running Redhat linux 7.2.
Thanks
