rsync for server transition

So I am moving one of my websites off to its own dedicated sever. Couple of reasons: mainly I wanted to use the 3TB drive I got, and also I need to put this domain up on its own IP for SSL security. I've copied the code over and it seems to functioning fine. Now I just have to perfect the SSL cert install. Which I goofed up once already. It's something I do rarely. So its always 'I gotta look it up' situation. So in the mean time, I will keep the systems synchronized with an hourly rsync command.
sudo crontab -e
@hourly rsync -e ssh -a $HOME/ myuser@officeserv:
