[clue-admin] Remote backups using rsync over ssh

[Jed S. Baer]

Hi Folks.

I have successfully run a remote backup of some directories on the CLUE
server using rsync over ssh. The process is partially documented on the
CLUE project wiki.

Directories I am doing:
  /var/www
  /var/cvs
  /etc
  /var/lib/mailman/archives/private

I haven't been able to find the nightly backup script to check that list
against what I was doing previously. If there are any directories to add
to this list, let me know.

I still have a little testing to do, mainly with constructing the command
line for multiple directories.

I'll be setting up a nightly cron job on my box to keep things current.
