I am currently backing up my OSE12.3 to an external SAS hard drive using this rsync command:
/usr/bin/rsync -avWHu --delete --exclude-from=/root/rsync.excludes / /external/ose3/
where /root/rsync.excludes currently contains:
/external /lost+found /media /mnt /proc /sys /var/lib/ntp/proc
Are there additional entries I should be excluding such as /run, /var/run, /var/spool, etc?
These directories, except for /lost+found and /var/spool, can be automatically excluded with the option -x, which prevents traversing across file-system boundaries. This includes possible chrooted environments, /dev etc. Note that If /boot is on a different filesystem and you need it backed up, you'll have to include it explicitly.
Thank you, Lucky Leavell
