-A is admittedly for somebody who does everything outside of a DE like you, yeah. Might want to confirm for the original poster. Doubt he's doing specific sharing though. > so it wasn't an issue. I have used -x though... -x -> one file system -X -> xattrs It's quite likely your web browser stores the user.xdg.origin.url and user.xdg.referrer.url xattrs. It's an implementation detail whether it uses these or loads it from its sqlite database though. I also thought some MACs used xattrs for security markings. and -H, I thought you used git? Wouldn't that blow the space of his backup, slow it down? He is a Linux, yocto, etc. developer after all.
