Hello guys, I need to create a daily backup for files and save them on another server
I use
rsync -av --progress --inplace --rsh='ssh -p22' /var/www/html/product root@37.101.11.144:/var/www/html/backup/
but this ask me for password , I want to create a cron job to copy files automatically at midnight.
how can I baypass the password ?
Don't use password auth, use keys instead.
This article explains it all.

Just a direction here. instead of password, there might be some setting to use public key and private key by which the authorization works. try to setup that. Caution: these keys will have an expiry date I guess. if it is the case, then periodically you need to change these keys for the process to work.
