lonetar vs rsync



Hello everybody Again,

I have got tired about lone-tar, I tried to backup more than 2 GB on a
mounted file but NFS doesn't let me do, I tried using network file but
it says that I have problems with the username and password.

I am going to try with rsync, rsynk looks more difficult but I am sure
WORKS, because the backup that is running every night is working
perfectly.

My problem is that I don't know anything about it, I have this box
with this backup working every night, and I would like to rebuild the
whole box to a newer.

How can I do the Restore having everything in one external computer.

These are the sentences that are doing the backup on the overnight
script (looks like is doing perfect):

/usr/local/bin/rsync \
--rsh=/usr/bin/ssh \
--recursive \
--times \
--links \
--hard-links \
--perms \
--owner \
--group \
--verbose \
--timeout=600 \
/ r...@xxxxxxxxxxxxx:/MyBackup/

echo -- `date` RSYNC backup complete

I have installed the new box but: How do I execute the rsync to use
in my new box, with everything working again and quickly, with the same
users permisions, printers, external devices, etc?

Thanks for your help
