Members of the HCL group may backup their desktops to heterogeneous server in the following directory
/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. An example of Daves excludes file:
.Skype/
.Trash-1000/
.adobe/
.cache/
.config/chromium
.dropbox/
.mozilla/
.ssh/
.svn/
.thumbnails/
.thunderbird/
