Why go to all this trouble when you can use a one-liner
I will preface this by saying that rsync on OS X has had problems in the past. In fact, the most recent OS update fixed an rsync delete issue (perhaps because I complained to Apple about it). But here's how I do a local backup (this can easily be adapted to a backup over the Internet if you specify the source and dest paths correctly, and tunneled over SSH too if you want, see "man rsync").

At this point you need to give your users public key authentication so they can log in without user passwords. You should want then to use SSH. They possibly might have something in their files that would compromise your system, such as notes they took on logging in to your computer. The way to protect your system is by setting permissions correctly for each user that is logging onto your system. Without limiting permissions you have a very vulnerable system. |
