Members of the HCL group may backup their desktops to heterogeneous server in the following directory:
heterogeneous:/home/desktops/<user>
This can easly be done with rsync as follows:
rsync -axv /home/<your_desktop_username>/ <user>@heterogeneous:/home/desktops/<user>/ --exclude-from=.bkup_excludes
and make the file .backup_excludes with files and directorys you would like to exclude, for example your download folder, internet cache, etc. An example of Daves excludes file:
.Skype/ .Trash-1000/ .adobe/ .cache/ .config/chromium .dropbox/ .mozilla/ .ssh/ .svn/ .thumbnails/ .thunderbird/ Downloads/ Dropbox/ backups/
