I assume the 'source' mentioned is what I want to backup and the dest is the location I want the backup?
yes. Mixing source and dest is the worst error :-(
My command so far is: $> sudo rsync -avPh /home root@Umalusi:/drobo/backup-'date +%A'/
This would, I believe, recursively copy all items in the /home directory, archiving files and folders, being verbose, and provide a human readable progress indicator, and place them in a dated folder on the backup medium with path being /Drobo.
Since it is copying onto a root file-system is sudo still required or would it not still request the root password?
sudo is only required if you are not root on the source my notes: http://dodin.info/wiki/index.php?n=Doc.CompleteBackup jdd -- http://www.dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
