I found RSYNC to be a little more annoying to use (I'm not good at LINUX). Also, there was a problem writing the script because Godaddy wants something just below the shebang:
TERM=linux
export TERM
I think the problem was linked possibly to me using Godaddy as a hosting provider. I know they suck at times.
There is a tutorial @
http://www.fortasse.com/2010/01/tutorials/tutorial-automatic-backup-script/ which describes a Godaddy working script. So far, it hasn't caused me issues. It doesn't use RSYNC, but I will try to adapt it to do so.
Nothing like having your whole years worth of site in super compressed GZIP files. It's not as space costly as some would think (my whole year is perhaps 1 GB).
Anyway, is there any way to make a script that is compliant all the time?
For example, will the commands I pasted above work on every server? I have some sites not on Godaddy.
