-====== Quick backup from Windows with cygwin/rsync to Linux ======
+====== Efficient backups with rsnapshot ======
-  * Install cygwin with rsync and ssh
+Basically, do this: [[https://documentation.ubuntu.com/server/how-to/backups/install-rsnapshot/|https://documentation.ubuntu.com/server/how-to/backups/install-rsnapshot/]]
-  * Set up SSH keys
-  * Associate .sh files with cygwin/bin/bash in Windows
-  * Make a script like this:
-<code>
+Reminder: on debian/ubuntu, you may need to "sudo apt-get install liblchown-perl" so rsnapshot can set symlink ownership.
-#!/bin/sh
+To restrict the ability of the client to access or even change files on the server being backed up, use [[https://github.com/tkbletsc/rrsync|my rrsync.py]], or perhaps the one from the rsync project.
