How to use rsync+ssh

[criky]

Hi
When I see the article of https://ubos.net/docs/users/backup.html, it seems UBOS supports "rsync+ssh" as well.
But there seems only an example for Amazon S3.
So could you please give me an example on how to use "rsync+ssh"?
I've installed myself the ubos-datatransfer-rsync package but, don't know either what to do or what to be careful to do so.

Assuming my UBOS box located in a remote area and I'd like to backup it to my local PC, which may seem to ease many efforts like attaching the external memory or something.

Good point, we should have more examples. Could you go to github.com/uboslinux/ubos-docs/issues and file an issue there?

In principle, you should just be able to use a URL along the lines of rsync+ssh://hostname/filename .

P.S. Before you try it as part of the UBOS backup, it might make sense to first try out that rsync over ssh works to the hostname you have in mind. E.g. on your UBOSbox, run rsync -e ssh somefile hostname:somefile.

I made a new issue like https://github.com/uboslinux/ubos-docs/issues/88.
Please see it.
Many thanks.
