How To Rsync Between Two Webhosts in Three Easy Steps

March 24, 2009 by fields.marshall

If you have webhosting contracts with two different companies you can backup data by passing it back and forth on a regular schedule using Rsync.

It requires a bit more work initially but then you put this backup on a automated regular interval (cron job)

Here is How to Setup Rsync in Three Easy Steps.

  1. Login with ssh to your webhost and type in ssh-keygen -t rsa Hit return twice. You should see – Your identification has been saved in xxxx
  2. Send the Authentication file rsync --progress "/home/name/.ssh/id_rsa.pub" username@serverspace.com:/home/name/.ssh/authorized_keys
  3. Repeat step two again - now if you a have setup this up correctly Rysnc will only ask for the password once
