Hello,

Simply that. I would like to use rsync to send files and directories from my Linux Raspbian OS on my Raspberry Pi 3 to my laptop inside the same network. What would be the proper way to go about doing this? I don't know the syntax that should be used. Some examples please? I'm also using PuTTY.

Thank you,
Appletatoes

I suppose you can do that as long as the corresponding "server" part is running, which means you have to keep MobaXTerm (or any "rsync" client) running. Whether this is the best backup solution for your case is completely different question.

I would also consider using "conventional" Windows share mounted onto RPi where to do backups.

Thank you Alabalcho. I will look into that. Will I be able to run automated backups with that as well? I had an idea of using rsync and crontab to do automated backups of my raspberry pi 3 that is running MotionEye OS. I need the video files from the camera backed up every hour or so and have it be in perfect sync between a windows PC and the raspberry pi cameras.

Thank you again,
