Back up key files via rsync and ssh
Authored by: leamanc on Jul 01, '08 11:59:50AM

I do this to keep my iTunes and iPhoto libraries in sync amongst three Macs and a Linux box.

It was mentioned above that there may be problem using the -E flag rsync'ing to a machine that doesn't support it, but I have no problems with the files on my Kubuntu 8.10 Linux box. It may be the (K)Ubuntu's rsync supports it, but I see no mention of it in its man page. YMMV.

It's likely that nothing in your itunes/iphoto libraries uses extended attributes or resource forks.
