rsync

Simple shortcut to backup everything to my home server:

rsync -Cravztue ssh --progress --no-whole-file --stats --sparse --dry-run /home/rcarmo rcarmo@mini:/Volumes/Pedestal/Backups/monolith/home/carmor

Local ssync to USB disk (now deprecated in favor of rsync -rv --size-only):

ssync -f /home/ -n -20 -U -t /Volumes/Backup/monolith/home/

Resources:

  • rsnapshot, a filesystem snapshot utility (written in Perl) for making backups of local and remote systems.
