PuTTY Series: Using PSFTP

Nice to see some writing again! I was beginning to think you'd dun run off with that cute mid-eastern girl. ;)
I've always used tar for backup but after looking at your line, I discovered that rsync compresses too! Also I learned that rsync includes --exclude= just like tar and putting in --delete removes the destination file if has been removed from source. Who know I possibly will start using it.

Hmmm ... I have been rsync for a long time just to do back ups, but be aware that if you put the --delete option, and have a nice cron to do your backup, and you actually do a: rm -rf /home/kewlmyst/important_stuff/ and your little cron does it's job ... you have also lost your 'important stuff' on the backup. @dirk: the -z option compresses the network flow, but not the actual data strored on the remote location/disk.
