i confess i haven't been following this thread in all its gory detail, but i suspect that many folks do their backups onto a separately mounted disk. if you do that, then adding "--one-file-system" to the rsync args takes care of it: you can back up from '/', but only the root filesystem will be backed up. any other filesystems on that machine will also need to be backed up as separate shares, of course. paul =---------------------- paul fox, p...@foxharp.boston.ma.us (arlington, ma, where it's 59.2 degrees) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
