[Discuss] full disk backups



This is the command I ended up running:



sudo rsync -a --delete -exclude={"/dev/*","/proc/*","/sys/*","/tmp/*","/run/*","/mnt/*","/media/*","/lost+found"} / /media/eric/USB1TB/


After letting it run for an hour and a half I killed it.? My laptop is pretty fast and there were a lot of errors.? Such as "rsync: mkstemp" and "rsync: symlink" with invalid argument.



Did I accidentally make a loop of some type?? Fiddling with it now.



Suggestions welcome!



Thanks,

Eric
