Rsync Daemon
Why turn on the rsync daemon at all? This could easily be accomplished simply by running
rsync -HrlptgoDPvvS --force --delete --del --stats -e ssh root@IPADDRESS:/ /media/pre-backup/
Also, since -P includes --progress, there's no reason to call it a second time.

We don't have a root password set up on the Pre, it's using sudo therefore that's why ssh won't work. Rsyncd.conf gives the rsync daemon root privileges so it can mirror the device. I'm be open to suggestions, but I'm trying to make this fit in with the next steps guide and limit the number of steps.
Thanks for pointing out the redundancy on --progress.

Pre Rebooting Issue
If you don't exclude some of the directories then the Pre reboots when the backup process touches them. -hmagoo
- Can you specify which files/directories prompt the reboot? -hopspitfire 02:57, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
