I'm helping my neighbour fix his PC, and I want to backup the disk(s) before I re-image it. I've been away from Windows for so long that I forget - is it sufficient to simply rsync everything from NTFS to my backup disk (which won't be using NTFS)?
Many thanks in advance.
It depends on what you're doing the copying with. Back in my DOS & OS/2 days, I just used XCOPY. In Linux, I generally use cp -a.
I'm using rsync.
Have a look at Grsync - i've not tried it but it does run on Windows
No need, my neighbour's the one running windows, I'm not :-) I thought it might take care of any possible issues copying from NTFS to your server as "grsync" is "rsync" wrapped up in a gui
