startkladde_sync_master.bsh

A bash script which synchronises the master database with a database on a webserver.

The script performs the following tasks:

1. Execute startkladde_backup.bsh on the local machine (master) to create a backup file.
2. Send the backup file to the remote host (server) via scp.

The server is expected to be configured as described in the article webserver synchronisation to process the incoming backup file with a call to startkladde_sync_server.bsh
