getting two directories to be the same

[Tobias Speckbacher]

rsync seems to be your best bet :)
It will also give you the ability to do away with your nfs mount since rsync can function via ssh and other less secure protocols not requiring the filesystem to be local, this the r in rsync.

Subject: getting two directories to be the same


I am doing backups of a remote server by mounting the remote server using 
NFS.  I am now running into the same problem that I was having trying 
different ftp programs to mirror it.  The problem is deleting files on the 
backup server that are not on the remote server.  There is not ssh access 
to the remote server and the ftp daemon on the remote server sucks to say 
the least.  Anyway, I have the remote server NFS'd to the local (backup) 
server.  Is there an easy way to mirror the directory recursively from the 
nfs drive to the local drive?  I NEVER want to delete anything from the 
NFS'd drive.

Thanks
Steve
