I have FreeBSD 7.3 running rsync 3.0.7. I need to backup a remote server to a local drive. This remote server has several filesystems types that dont require backing up, like nfs. If I run the following command:
rsync --delete -azHv myremote:/ /machines/myremote/ It will copy ALL filesystems which is not what I want, so I assume I need to do it on a per filesystem basis like: rsync -x --delete -azHv myremote:/ myremote:/usr myremote:/usr/local /machines/myremote/ This worked EXCEPT the /usr/local/ was put into /machines/myremote/local/ and not /machines/myremote/usr/local/. If I do an rsync for each filesystem then I have problems with the --delete removing the directorys for the subsequent rsyncs. eg: rsync -x --delete -azHv myremote:/ /machines/myremote ; Removes /usr and /usr/local rsync -x --delete -azHv myremote:/usr/ /machines/myremote/usr ; removes /usr/local rsync -x --delete -azHv myremote:/usr/local/ /machines/myremote/usr/local Is there a way of backing up all the 'ufs' filesystems of a machine onto a single filesystem destination with a faithful directory reproduction. -- Daryl Sayers Direct: +612 95525510 Corinthian Engineering Office: +612 95525500 Suite 54, Jones Bay Wharf Fax: +612 95525549 26-32 Pirrama Rd email: da...@ci.com.au Pyrmont NSW 2009 Australia www: http://www.ci.com.au -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
