Hi,
I would like to do a local partition backup with rsync.
It works right with a partition that contains /home:
rsync -av --delete /hda10 /sdb7
But it does not work right with the partition that I boot into:
rsync -av --delete --exclude /home --exclude /usr/local --exclude /hda10
/ /hdb5
He does it the first time, but the second time, which is supposed to be
just an update, he copies all files again and runs out of room.
Anybody uses rsync to backup the partition that they boot into?
Thanks for the answers.
I guess I will try rsnapshot and rdiff-backup because although the rsync
job now works OK with --exclude /hdb5, I cannot boot from it: it keeps
booting the partition that it came from, although I adjusted
/hdb5/etc/fstab and reran lilo to point to the newly copied partition.
With mondo those are the only 2 adjustments you have to make to boot
into a copied partition.
