Hello,
I want to use rsync for backups, I would like to have your opinion on some points. I want to make a shell script (Perl) to run my rsync command, then run it in cron. Is it safe to do so as root? because it means setting the root password in the environment variables after what I read if you use the demon.If not, he must make the communication between servers without password for root (it's not dangerous) with the exchange of keys? Or should it create a user to backup all servers and use it to rsync? knowing that I'll save the config files. any help on this will help me, thanks in advance.
