  • Incremental Backup via rsync

    This command will backup the entire / directory, excluding /dev, /proc, /sys, /tmp, /run, /mnt, /media, /lost+found directories. Let us break down the above command and see what each argument does. rsync: A fast, versatile, local and remote file-copying utility -aAXv: The files are transferred in ?archive? mode, which ensures that symbolic links, devices, permissions, ownerships, modification times, ACLs, and extended attributes are preserved. -/: Source directory -exclude: Excludes the given directories from backup. -/mnt: It is the backup destination folder. Please be mindful that you must exclude the destination directory, if it exists in the local system. It will avoid the an infinite loop. To restore the backup, just reverse the source and destination paths in the above command.
