You shouldn't care that they're top level, only which ones are the
right type.
Like this:
mount | awk '$5 ~ /^(xfs|ext2|ext3)$/ { print $1 }'
So in a script:
mountpoints=$( mount | awk '$5 ~ /^(xfs|ext2|ext3)$/ { print $1 }' )
for fs in $mount_points
do
... backup "$fs", eg "rsync -x "$fs" ...
done
Expand the list of filesystem types with the ones you actually use;
I tend to use xfs myself.
You may want to explicitly avoid removable drives if they mount in
a recognisably place. For example, I hand mount removable drives
as /mnt/whatever, so I would avoid mount points starting with /mnt/
to keep them from polluting my backup system.
