Use any one of the following commands to install rsync. If you are using Debian or Ubuntu Linux, type the following command:
RHEL / CentOS 5.x or newer user type the following command:
Since rsync does not provide any security while transferring data it is recommended that you use rsync over ssh session. This allows a secure remote connection.
Example of commands
Copy file from a remote server to a local computer:
Synchronize a local directory with a remote directory:
Synchronize a remote directory with a local directory:
Synchronize a local directory with a remote rsync server or vise-versa:

-e "ssl -l root" parameter is not needed when you use "ssh syntax" with addresses. So we can change: to: (note that ~/ is missing too because : is pointing automatically to users home directory)
Normally I use: so ownership, modification time and so on is preserved.
Is anybody know how clone one linux TimeWeb server to another? Not so full but for installed LAMP only.
We do not have a tutorial on how to clone your server from TimeWeb. However, you can first install LAMP on your server and then just copy the site's data to VPS. You can use a tutorial on how to install LAMP below:
