From this video you will learn how to backup your whole Linux system and how to restore it back if something bad happens to it.
The command you need is this one:
sudo rsync -aAXv –delete –exclude=/dev/* –exclude=/proc/* –exclude=/sys/* –exclude=/tmp/* –exclude=/run/* –exclude=/mnt/* –exclude=/media/* –exclude=”swapfile” –exclude=”lost+found” –exclude=”.cache” –exclude=”Downloads” –exclude=”.VirtualBoxVMs” –exclude=”.ecryptfs” /source /destination
You can also add the option –dry-run to simulate the backup process.
The command to restore your system is shorter:
sudo rsync -aAXv –delete –exclude=”lost+found” /backup /system
To see more options run:
rsync –help
