That was a scary lesson that I learned tonight. I'm burning a backup
now, and I'll be learning rsync tonight...
This is an rsync command that my wife and I both use on our laptops
everytime we get home to our local network.
/usr/bin/rsync -e ssh -avzp --exclude "/home/eagle1/.ssh" --delete
/home/eagle1 / /ns2.local.net:/prtdata/
I would suggest using the -n option to rsync to test things before you
run it on a live filesystem. Leaving a / off of the end of a path in rsync
can be disasterous. It has saved my life many times.
I'll keep that in mind. Thanks.
Whenever possible, I like to cd into the source directory and
rsync -essh -av . remote_host:/path/to/target
so I don't have to remember which way the magic trailing / works. And if
there is any chance of hitting mount points I use --one-file-system and
repeat separately with any I wanted to include.
