I am trying to work out a backup solution whereby an entire Linux drive can be rsynced to a mounted external firewire/usb hard drive that has a vfat filesystem on it.
To preserve ownership and permissions it is necessary to do something like tar -cf dir1.tar dir1/ | rsync /win/rsync however this command does not work. Does anyone know if it is even possible to do such a thing? Also, if it is possible, will it be possible to use rsync again to incrementally update dir1.tar on the vfat filesystem? -- Daniel -- +++ NEU bei GMX und erstmalig in Deutschland: TÜV-geprüfter Virenschutz +++ 100% Virenerkennung nach Wildlist.
