Dear All,
I've just acquired a little HP Pocket Media Drive. I'd like to use it
to backup /home, and I could do with some software recommendations.
I'd rather not have the backups rolled up into a zip or tar file, so
that I can easily pluck out files on another PC. I'd also like
something which has the sense not to copy thinks which are already
there.
Well you can use rsync -av --delete /home/ /<media path/home-backup/
to do it, but if the destination is a FAT partition or similar
non-unix format, you can lose permissions, owner details and some
files with certain characters in their filenames, e.g. files with ":"
in their filenames can't be written to FAT partitions and those
beginning with "." can also present problems.
