Rsync from mac to MyBookLive

I am tried finding the answer to my question on the board but couldn’t find anything. I have trying to sync a particular folder onto my WD MyBookLive using rsync. I have done this before with the same file, but didn’t leave myself adequate instructions on how to replicate it. When I first set up my SSH and performed the sync, my harddrive’s IP was different, so maybe this is causing my problem? The code I am punching into terminal is as follows:

nice rsync -va --dry-run -progress “/Users/andrewgendro/Documents/” root@ASGMyBookLive:“/shares/Andrews_Files/Andrew’s\ Macbook\ Backup”

I am not an experiance coder (if you couldn’t tell), so any help would be great, thanks!

I didn’t know that it was possible. I’ll check on that when I get home…

Thank you. Or if you have a better solution, that would be great too! My manual method seems a bit tedious, so I imagine there is a more efficient way to regularly perform my backup! Thanks again.
