Hello, I want a copy of my / I don't really plan to restore the hole thing with the backup, but I need to find again the various config files I may have spread in / to use them in the future, in case of disaster. rsync seems *not* to be able to do this, at least with the usual -av options. as far as I can tel, rsync recurses int he .snapshot folder and fills the target. I don't really understand what is said there: https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Incremental_Backup#Doing_it_by_hand.... "Initial Bootstrapping" I don't really need incremental backups, I only care of the last config the source is / (excluding other file system used by /home or data), the target any other disk, for example usb HDD what may I do? thanks -- http://dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
