Hi all, Complements of the season. I use a script to perform backup to a connected usb harddisk and I have noticed that it appears to be writing all files each time instead of updating only the changes. I am wondering if rsync has changed. I have read the man pages but am not quite sure if I understand it fully. This is part of my script:- $RSYNC \ -Cvalu --delete-during --stats --progress --exclude '*Trash*' --exclude '/home/paul/Programs' --exclude 'run' \ --exclude 'test' --exclude 'media/' --exclude '/home/paul/video/' --exclude 'mnt/' --exclude 'sys' \ --exclude 'tmp' --exclude 'joan' --exclude 'backup' --exclude 'proc/' --exclude 'log' \ --exclude 'boot' --exclude 'dev/' --exclude 'lost+found' \ / /mnt/external/MusicBackup ;
Could someone who is more knowledgeable than me please review the above and let me know what changes I need to make. One other question I wanted to create the empty directories on the backup i.e. run, dev, also directory links i.e. lib to lib64 Any help please Paul ------------------------------------------------------- This message has been sent using kmail with gentoo linux -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
