Re: [opensuse] Can I do this with rsync?

I have a number of systems I'd like to regularly back up with rsync. Let me
describe them.


Computer 1 is my main desktop at home. It runs 24-7 and has a 500 GB USB
SATA drive to do back ups on. It uses OpenSuse 10.2. It is networked to all
other computers in the house with nfs.

Computer 2 is my laptop, which goes everywhere. At home it is networked to
Computer 1 and 3 with nfs. At work it is networked to my work computer
(also running nfs). It runs OpenSuse 10.3.

Computer 3 is my wife's desktop at home. It uses OpenSuse 10.2 and is
networked to computers 1 and 2.

Computer 4 is my work computer, a desktop running OpenSuse 10.2 and
networked to my laptop with nfs when I am there.

What I'd like to do is regularly make backups of:
1. my files on my desktop to my USB drive.
2. my files on my laptop, which are a subset of the files on my desktop, to
my desktop.
3. my files on my work computer to my laptop.
Probably. I've never used it, but others have recommended a tool called
unison.


Am I going to have file permission problems doing it this way? (My home
partition has the same name on each computer).
You might have UID/GID issues if they are different on different computers.
