[olug] xcopy equivalent

[Daniel Pfile]

rsync over ssh should do the trick:

rsync -avz -e ssh user at remotehose:/path/to/dir /path/to/local/dir

If you're looking for a backup app, rdiff-backup is nice. I use it to  
mirror a machine nightly and can go back to any point in time for  
however many days I specify. 45 days of history on a basic server  
(4.5 gig used) only takes 6 gigs to store.
