UPDATED
MSN havent updated all of their servers to the new cert version, so this was causing intermittent problems. The fix here is updated (if you dont want to or cannot upgrade to latest version yet) and the below information is correct and working as of 24/11/2010.

Easy cpanel WHM or linux remote backup – SSH pull rsync backups for security and integrity using incremental
So you have a cpanel/WHM web server, you have it set to back up all of its accounts. Thats either costing you a lot of FTP bandwidth to send to a remote server, or you are being less than resiliant by only backing up to a local disk. Perhaps you have remote rsync SSH backup already, but havent really thought of the implications of running a SSH/rsync ‘push’ system. This howto is your solution. This howto is not just relevant for Cpanel/WHM servers and you can adapt it to any kind of Linux backups you make.

The problem
Many a time I have re-installed my system from scratch or created a new system, but get sick of continually installing the same packages over and over. Its annoying when 2 or 3 months down the line you want to use a program you used to have (or have on another system) only to find its not yet installed. Sure, an apt-get install only takes a few minutes for a single piece of software, but that’s a few minutes a geek like me could better spend doing something productive.
