Yes! Yes! Yes!

As the saying goes, "Real BOFH use tar and rsync!"

The blog article is an excellent treatment of using tar along with SSH to effect a reliable backup plan and schedule.

Another couple of great fav GoTo solutions of mine have always been Duplicity and Duply for those not comfortable rolling their own scripts w/SSH, tar, and/or rsync ​:batman:​

Thank you very much for sharing this @nixCraft !!!

I think, for me, much like EDLIN, it's pretty much always been a matter of knowing that it was the default editor available in every incarnation of #UNIX and #Linux since, ... I dunno, ... 4.2BSD or so?

Perhaps I should say vi, and in DOS I don't really recall when EDIT.COM supplanted #EDLIN, but do feel free to checkout my friend's more modern #FREDLIN in the link above. h/t to @dheadshot for creating a POSIX interpretation of that classic utility from the days when disk drives talked to you and diskettes shimmied...

Also, These #Vim memes are some of the funnest elbows to the ribs of the person sitting next to you we can all enjoy together... unless, unless, Oh my gawd am I on Drugs?

Here's another one for folks to add to their collections, for foshizzles and giggles, of course, and we all can haz #Cheezburgerz! 🍔

Kindest regards, and thank you for some of the very best cookbook style #tuts, #HowTo's, and introspectives for the UNIX / Linux / FOSS world on the Internet :)
