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?

I was backing up my primary boxes home directory to the office computer. Well, it was decided to turn that computer into an entertainment center so xbmc was put on it about 4 weeks ago. I then figured I would back up everything like I did before. 
I just remembered that when this happened before I had to install a program. I thought a google search would reveal the answer but was wrong. What program do I need to apt-get? I think it is ssh-server?
