Back up key files via rsync and ssh
Authored by: lowbatteries on Jul 01, '08 09:42:38AM

I recommend using the official rsync and not Apple's. The official rsync version 3+ can also transfer metadata, and has a lot of speed improvements. Install it on your local machine and on your server machine (I use dreamhost also).

I replaced the rsync version on all of my machines using "sudo port install rsync" - you'll need MacPorts - I'm sure there's a hint somewhere here on gettings MacPorts set up.
