Hello,

I have run rsync couple of times and is curious to know if I can automate it with Bash. What is the procedure to do it . Would appreciate any response.

Thanks, Rahul

If I understand right, you want to setup rsync to automatically backup your system by writing some kind of bash script? It does seem possible. Will require a lot of research and skills in scripting using bash.
