scp -rp /home/user/music/ root@192.168.2.161:/mnt/LaptopBackup/user/music/

btw, doesn't copy NEW folder overs. I have to make them manually?

for example the /music/ folder had been backed up previously.

but now it has a new subdir in it.

that new subdir is not copied over AND old subdirs iwth new items are not copied over.

it's weird.

so then i tried rsync:

rsync -e ssh -a /home/user/music/* root@192.168.2.161:/mnt/LaptopBackup/user/music/

and that worked fine.

i will check out rsnapshot too.

thanks all!
