use rsync
rsync -avz -e ssh /home/nemo/ nemo@ip.of.device:/backup/destination/directory/
Thanks @Nieldk, useful information.
When I read your answer, i was curious as to what each of the letters represent, so i looked them up. This is probably common knowledge for some but I will list them here anyway;
-v : verbose
-a : archive mode, it allows copying files recursively and preserves symbolic links, file permissions,
user & group ownerships and timestamps
-z : compresses data
-h : human-readable, it output numbers in a human-readable format
But, what does the -e
represent?
@willi - why don't you just try the command first? :) (I believe rsync
is already installed as part of the suite 'linux utils')
@eson - thanks! :)

I'm not a Linux expert but doesn't @Nieldk's command assume that the destination system is a Linux one? And doesn't it further assume that there has to exist a "nemo" user on the PC and that an ssh server is installed and running?
