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.
