Re: [nmglug] rsync, what the hey?
Ls the -r you recommend included in "-Prvvac" On 5/27/19 5:13 PM, ABQLUG wrote:
To make your command work, just remove the --dry-run.
I would probably add the -r for recursive.
So this is what I recommend.
First, start out in a empty backup folder. Create one if you don't want to remove the /backup folder.
Then run this :
rsync -Prvvac /home/a/ /media/a/6fbdc743-fc0f-46e4-aea3-8160914c34ec/backup
That's a safer option, as long as the destination is empty. It will also look for subfolders. Includes the . files and doesn't delete anything in destination.
Why your original command didn't work is a simple typo.
You had this /media/6fbdc743-fc0f-46e4-aea3-8160914c34ec/backup
When it should have been this: /media/a/6fbdc743-fc0f-46e4-aea3-8160914c34ec/backup
Notice the /a/ after /media

Hi a,
Does this work?

I would probably run that as this.
sudo rsync -Prvvac /home/path /desination/path
I prefer to keep . files and I also like the progress. -r is recursive. I wouldn't delete anything though, unless you are in fact wanting to make a true 1:1 copy of that /path/ at the given time you run the command.

Hi a, Yeah, I was trying to just explain that you want to include -r whether you use rsync -acr or rsync -Prvvac -r is handy for backing up an entire computer/folder with subfolders. Regards, Jared On 5/27/19 5:17 PM, a wrote:
