How to back up Logan_Web (10.21.25.11) manually
To run a manual backup we need to do something called a "pull request". A pull request is Midgaurd asking Logan_Web "hey give me your files" while a push request would be "hey take all my files".
In order to do a pull request with rsync we need to make sure we have ssh rsa authentication for rsync (learn more here) and run the command:
sudo rsync -aP [email protected]:/ /mnt/user/Backups/LEMPSTACK_backup/
This will sync the root of the filesystem from Logan_Web with the LEMPSTACK_backup directory, essentially copying the whole drive.
