mac os/x secure backup to cpanel linux shared server
Good day,
Im looking for help to setup a backup service for a client of mine.
Details as follows:
clients computer = mac os/x
want to securely backup to remote linux shared server that has Cpanel.
I am trying to figure out a way to setup a scheduled backup service to remote CPanel Linux Shared server.
I have googled my brains out and not sure which route to take, ssh, sftp, secure copy.
Please advise and also instrcutions on how to go abouts setting this up on the mac. my host has given me username and password to access the remote server.
I thank-you in advance for your help.
Dave

I assume that you don't want to use cPanel's built-in FTP backup for security reasons. In that case, you may want to use Rsync on your Mac OS X system to back up over SSH to your Linux server. To automate it, you can just set up a cron job to run it on a regular basis, and use RSA keys for authentication.

I use scp for transferring files from OS X to cPanel servers, literally every day. Works like a champ.
