I use rsync to copy/backup ALL my stuff to another disk.
When I run this seems like my machine (4 GIG ram centos 5.1)
now begins to swap out more programs. Is there a way to reduce
that swapping? I am running with echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness
I simply mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/backup; mkdir /mnt/backup/month.day.year
then rsync -a /home /mnt/backup/mon.day.year
IMHO, rsync is overkill here. I would:
mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/backup; mkdir /mnt/backup/month.day.year
cd /home;find . | cpio -vdump /mnt/backup/mon.day.year
Rsync will be much, much faster on the 2nd and subsequent runs when it
only has to copy the changed files.
