Rsync

rsync –delete –stats -vae ssh 66.249.137.130:/backup/cpbackup/daily/ /backup/cpbackup/daily/ –exclude-from ‘/root/exclude.txt’

I added the file exclude.txt because with this code you can have certain files not be transferred. In this case I added pending and spam emails.

So my exclude.txt file has this in it:

*.*.dwhs1234.dwhs.net

*.*.dwhs1234.dwhs.net:2,

*.*.dwhs1234.dwhs.net:2,*

*.msg”
core.*
*.*.mbox:2,

This is for a cpanel based server.
