How about: |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
work ~ # cat backup.sh |
| 46 |
#!/bin/bash |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
mount /dev/sdb8 /y |
| 49 |
rsync -av /bin /etc /lib32 /lib64 /opt /root /sbin /usr /var /y/bkp-sys/ \ |
| 50 |
--exclude-from 'exclude' |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
umount /y |
| 53 |
echo "done" |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
work ~ # cat exclude |
| 57 |
/usr/local/ |
| 58 |
/usr/portage/ |
| 59 |
/usr/src/ |
| 60 |
/var/empty/ |
| 61 |
/var/log/emerge-logs/ |
| 62 |
/var/tmp/ |
| 63 |
|
| 64 |
You can rsync multiple directories, just put dem down there one after |
| 65 |
another, the last on is the target. |
| 66 |
|
| 67 |
You should also consider setting the --delete flag (deletes file in |
| 68 |
backup when deleted on your root filesystem and --delete-excluded which |
| 69 |
will delete the files you have excluded in your backup. |
| 70 |
|
| 71 |
I also exclude /var/cache and /var/run |
