Hi I need to transfer all the cpanel backups to another linux server (without cpanel there) and i want your opinion on what is the best way to do it? Also maybe i will have a problem on crons as the cpanel backup creates a new date folder and this new is the only one that i want to transfer and not the old ones again and again... Thanks

  rsync should do that job easily.

  Hello :) You could transfer the files to the destination server using a utility such as SFTP, SCP, or Rsync. Thank you.

  Yes i was thinking to use rsync but in my backup folder i am getting a new date folder for the new backup and this new folder is the only folder that i want to use but how can i tell to rsync to backup the new folder only? Thanks

  rsync -au /backup/`date +%Y-%m-%d`/* remote_server:/directory

  It's using the date at the time the cron job runs. Thank you.
