On this, how do you people backup your photos?
The second is difficult unless you just dump the whole lot every time - but these dirs get BIG.
Just use rsync. I have switched from a hand-written backup script to rsync, and it is simply 1000 times better (conservative estimate). All you need is
#!/bin/bash tobackup="/home/manne/pictures" # no trailing slash storage="/media/your_usbdisk/pic_backup" nice ionice -n7 rsync -av --delete -HAX "$tobackup" "$storage"
A script like this does a backup of my homedir in <1 minute after the initial run.

Thanks, ok, almost there. How do I only get the diff files? The issue is I dont want to re-backup the old photos, just the ones after a specific date. Manne -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
