I'm used to rsync my home directory to external disc. I also use YaST backup module (I think I can recommend it) to backup any other system data. I then rsync regular backup together with my data. So that I can restore software, settings etc using YaST and my data with rsync. It could make Your backing up easier. All the best, Vojtěch Dne Ne 8. prosince 2013 12:58:56, SuSE List napsal(a):
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?
I want to be able to restore the system from the backup, possibly using Relax and Recover (which did a fantastic job of restoring a Liinux VM at work using NetBackup).
Thank you, Lucky Leavell
