I use something like this


/usr/bin/rsync  -v --stats --delete --numeric-ids -ogxrlptz \
 -e /usr/bin/ssh user [at] server.my.org:/remote/directory/. /local/directory


# -x one file system
# -r recurse
# -l symlinks as symlinks
# -p preserve permissions
# -t preserve time stamps
# -z compress
# --delete  delete files that don´t exist on the sending side
# -o, --owner       preserve owner (root only)
# -g, --group       preserve group
# --numeric-ids


You will need to set up ssh so that you can ssh to server.my.org as user
without it asking for a passphrase.
