mirror# rsync -avz main::/home /RemoteBackupofMain/home
mirror# rsync -avz main::/etc /RemoteBackupofMain/etc
/RemoteBackupofMain is sitting somewhere on the machined called "mirror"
add --delete if you want files that was deleted in main to also be
deleted on the mirror
run the above two commands from (root's) cron however often you want it
to copy main:/home to the mirror
