Ah, then it still applies. Given that you have your stick mounted at /mnt/usbstick...
Use the same files (except /etc/rsyncd.conf, /etc/rsync.pass, /etc/rsyncd.pass), but your command line should look like: Here, I'm backing up root to /mnt/usbstick rsync -aHz --delete --delete-excluded --force --exclude-from=/etc/rsync.exclude / /mnt/usbstick Now, let's say you have your other drive mounted on /mnt/other: rsync -aH --delete --delete-excluded --force --exclude-from=/etc/rsync.exclude /mnt/other /mnt/usbstick And then, your exclude file should reflect that change in mount point... and well... you dig, right? I mean... in your exclude file... you know where things are right? And I removed -z because you likely won't benefit from compression on a local connection. Better off just streaming uncompressed and doing your best to flood the bus. --James On Sun, Mar 8, 2015 at 1:40 AM, ToddAndMargo <[email protected]> wrote: > On 03/07/2015 09:05 PM, James Rogers wrote: > >> Dig?
