You will need to be on a wired connection for this to work
To backup a persons home folder(s) over the network using scp (as root)
scp -r /home/ tsbackup@192.168.2.101:/var/tsbackup/[date - persons name]
replace [date - persons name] with the appropriate information
To restore do the opposite (as root)
scp -r tsbackup@192.168.2.101:/var/tsbackup/[date-name] /home/
If you have reinstalled and the user had accounts other then oem you will still need to recreate those user accounts:
adduser [username]
You might also need to apply proper permissions
find /home/username/ -type f -exec chgrp -r username {} \;
find /home/username/ -type f -exec chown -r username {} \;
find /home/username/ -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
find /home/username/ -type d -exec chmod 754 {} \;
or for move private users
find /home/username/ -type f -exec chgrp -r username {} \;
find /home/username/ -type f -exec chown -r username {} \;
find ./ -type f -exec chmod 640 {} \;
find ./ -type d -exec chmod 750 {} \;
When you are finished with a backup and sure that all the data is properly transfered remove it from Cactus2
rm -r /var/tsbackup/[date-name]
