FWIW, I routinely backup important directories with rsync from ext3 and ext4 |
| 16 |
file systems to vfat, with no additional options. The command I use is: |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
sudo rsync -vvvruxi --size-only --exclude-from=/home/rh/rsync-home-excl-list /home/rh/ /mnt/Datastor/Gentoo/ |
| 19 |
for the home directory. |
