I was wondering.... I think what I'm doing is making both home directories identical. To not do that (and to make a backup) I should: rsync -vva --exclude=/home/bmike1/Pictures/* --exclude=.*mozilla* --exclude=.*chromium* ~/*backupdirectoryname *xbmc@192.168.0.3:/home/xbmc/;rsync -vva --exclude=/home/bmike1/Pictures/* --exclude=.*mozilla* --exclude=.*chromium* xbmc@192.168.0.3:/home/xbmc/ *~/backupdirectoryname* * * is this correct? :-)~MIKE~(-: On Sun, Apr 28, 2013 at 5:32 PM, Michael Havens wrote: > nevermind.... figured it out. it was openssh-server.
