If I can’t be bothered with live CDs, I bind-mount the root partition. I use |
| 19 |
that frequently to do root-backups. That way you can get the files within |
| 20 |
/dev which are required even before /dev is populated (null and zero, IIRC). |
| 21 |
This will, of course, not prevent files from being changed during the rsync |
| 22 |
run, because the system is still live and kicking. So I usually run it |
| 23 |
several times to see what has changed in the meantime. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
mkdir /mnt/bindroot |
| 26 |
mount --bind / /mnt/bindroot |
| 27 |
rsync -ahXAHi --delete /mnt/bindroot/ /path/to/new/partition/ |
| 28 |

Since this is a bindmount, no need for -x. Use -A and -X if you use acls and |
| 30 |
xattrs, respectively. But you definitely want -H. For example git installs |
| 31 |
all its commands as hardlinks to a single binary. |
