Created an SSH keypair (attachment in Keepass for backups_rsync account!) on Dell XPS 15 - Added the public key to the backups_rsync authorized ssh keys (/volume1/homes/backups_rsync/.ssh/authorized_keys) - Checked the permissions for backups_rsync home folder, .ssh and .ssh/authorized_keys - Added backups_rsync to the admins group temporarily, connected using ssh (ssh -i ~/.ssh/…) so that the host key was added, then removed backups_rsync from the group - The account now has rsync access over ssh and the keys are backed-up in keepass - Created a backup script ~/scripts on Dell XPS - should be synchronized by cloudstation On the nas: - /volume5/backups_5/dellxps15/system -
