You can also unite all exclude options with --exclude={/dev/*,/proc/*,/sys/*,/tmp/*,/run/*,/mnt/*,/media/*,/home/*,/lost+found}. But make sure you cd to root (cd /) before you run rsync, otherwise the joint exclude option may not work. PS. Thanks to MoreChannelNoise for this tip. The comment is below.

According to the man page, "--delete" actually deletes extraneous files and directories from the destination. I think this means that it deletes all files that aren't in the source. Just to clarify this, because the explanation given in the video sounds (to me), like that option only transfers the files that are missing in the destination, which is the default behavior for rsync.

I had problems with something as simple as web browser (chromium) after system restore by this method. I have ended up using rsync to backup data (files incl. code, images, etc.) and the SD card copier on the Pi for cloning the entire system including installed software. The installed software works correctly by this method. Thanks.

"--delete This tells rsync to delete extraneous files from the receiving side (ones that aren't on the sending side), but only for the directories that are being synchronized. You must have asked rsync to send the whole directory (e.g. lqdirrq or lqdir/rq) without using a wildcard for the directory's contents (e.g. lqdir/*rq) since the wildcard is expanded by the shell and rsync thus gets a request to transfer individual files, not the files' parent directory. Files that are excluded from the transfer are also excluded from being deleted unless you use the --delete-excluded option or mark the rules as only matching on the sending side (see the include/exclude modifiers in the FILTER RULES section)." This doesn't "restore only the files which have been deleted"

1. When you specified --exclude=".VirtualBoxVMs", this path is relative to the source directory being backed up. Since you were backing up the root directory, this means you are excluding /.VirtualBoxVMs. But VirtualBox stores your VMs under your home folder (unless, of course, you explicitly tell it to do it somewhere else). 2. Just a tip: when you have so many folders you want to exclude, you can put them all in a text file and point rsync to that file with the --exclude-from= option. 3. One other rsync option I like is --stats. It displays a summary of total number of files/folders created, updated, deleted, etc. 4. That's a nice Arch wallpaper you have there! Could you please put a link to it? Thanks.

@davidstells4930

You can open multiple terminal sessions and run an rsync in each of them, but there's not likely to be much benefit (especially if you're backing up to a remote system) bc rsync will use as much bandwidth as possible. Video files are also sequential reads and writes, so running multiple threads may actually slow your backup down.

Your video is very helpful and thank you for this share with us. I have some questions and few things I don't like. First of all, this backup seems to not care about partitions, if I have 4 partitions and I destroy 2 partitions after restore do I have back my destroyed partitions? Also having on the USB just copied files but not compressed packet in one or two files like iso or gho (from ghost) it's not very friendly having files opened to check by anyone anytime. After a backup like this, is it possible to restore to a new HDD not partitioned? What other backup-restore alternative we have for Linux system?

Two questions: 1. How do you rsync to Dropbox, Google Drive or S3? 2. Can rsync --delete check file contents and overwrite broken config files? e.g. if I mess up a vital config, can I restore the original this way?
@capoderra
7 жыл бұрын
Your first question: you may want to consider not backing up to a file hosting service because it will be a very large file and take a long time to do the initial backup and restore. However if you are simply backing up some configuration files you can do that by changing the destination to your Dropbox folder on your system. Your second question: a simple answer yes. It is much more efficient however to use the move command before you edit your configuration file. For example, you can do mv ~/.config/file.conf ~/.config/file.conf.bak and then change file.conf. if you need to revert back, just mv ~/.config/file.conf.bak ~/.config/file.conf
@AverageLinuxUser

I agree with Derrick Mulder. 1. You cannot use rsync with these services. You need to use their apps to sync. 2. You will need to replace configs you messed up manually with mv. Or you can restore the whole system from a backup, by overwriting all files. But this way you will loss all the information generated after the backup time. So, moving is still better

If SSD wasn't damaged itself then, most likely, it will work straight away. If you switched from amd to nvidia or vice verse, then you'll need to reinstall video drivers. Also, if you used UEFI to boot - you'll need to create a new record for your new UEFI firmware, unless you had your bootloader .efi file in /EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI, which all UEFI firmwares read by default.

You should've described a safe way to test a backup, otherwise someone's gonna intentionally destroy their system just to realize their backups don't work, and their server clients just messaged them for panel password two minutes ago...

I ran the rsync command as presented with the destination to my USB stick. The dryrun showed NO error. But the real run did. See below. rsync: chown "/media/ng/KINGSTON32/opt/brackets/www/extensions/default/brackets-eslint/node_modules/es5-ext/string/#/.uncapitalize.js.BTCxGr" failed: Operation not permitted (1) rsync: chown "/media/ng/KINGSTON32/opt/brackets/www/extensions/default/brackets-eslint/node_modules/es5-ext/string/#/@@iterator/.implement.js.EkPBd0" failed: Operation not permitted (1) rsync error: received SIGINT, SIGTERM, or SIGHUP (code 20) at io.c(521) [generator=3.1.0] Can you provide some insight into what went wrong please?

How do I do rsync with a seperate root and home partition

Ummm... You might want to read what the --delete flag does before you destroy your backups... It doesn't do what the video says and will delete files in your backup if used incorrectly.

I follow all of your step-by-step and actually restore the backup, however when I try to use the users, this message appears for both the root and the user.

the only way to safely backup is dd of the entire disk and then gzip it to preserve space
