This is my backup script which syncs my server to my dropbox every day.

The script below is triggered every day from my Mac. I use Hazel to move the tar.gz to an external hard disk once it's finished. This happens every day without me noticing.

You should have a similar script.

rsync -a --del -e ssh [email protected]:~/webdirectory/ ~/myname/Dropbox/Backups/webapps
cd ~/myname/Dropbox/Backups/webapps
dt=$(date +%y%j)
tar czf webapps$dt.tar.gz webapps
