This tutorial will cover how to set up a simple backup job between two machines using rsync and ssh. You will need HOST A and HOST B, whereby HOST B is your target backup service.
On HOST B:
ssh-keygen -t rsa # Press enter to accept the default options.
mv ~/.ssh/id_rsa ~/.ssh/identity
cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
mv ~/.ssh/id_rsa ~/.ssh/identity
cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
