# rsync-homedir-excludes
|
||
|
||
## Usage:
|
||
|
||
# download to `/var/tmp/ignorelist`
|
||
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rubo77/rsync-homedir-excludes/master/rsync-homedir-excludes.txt -O /var/tmp/ignorelist
|
||
# or copy to `/var/tmp/ignorelist`
|
||
cp ./rsync-homedir-excludes.txt /var/tmp/ignorelist
|
||
|
||
# edit the file /var/tmp/ignorelist to your needs
|
||
nano /var/tmp/ignorelist
|
||
|
||
# define a Backup directory, for example:
|
||
BACKUPDIR=/media/$USER/linuxbackup/home/$USER/
|
||
BACKUPDIR=/media/workspace/home/$USER/
|
||
|
||
# first append the “-n” parameter rsync will simulate the operation. you should use this before you start:
|
||
rsync -naP --exclude-from=/var/tmp/ignorelist /home/$USER/ $BACKUPDIR
|
||
|
||
#check for permission denied errors in your homedir:
|
||
rsync -naP --exclude-from=/var/tmp/ignorelist /home/$USER/ $BACKUPDIR|grep denied
|
||
|
||
# if it is all fine, start your backup with
|
||
rsync -aP --exclude-from=/var/tmp/ignorelist /home/$USER/ $BACKUPDIR
|
||
|
||
You can edit the ignorelist file before execution as it serves you well:
|
||
|
||
- At the start, there is a section with directories, probably not worth a backup. Uncomment those lines to exclude them as well.
|
||
|
||
- All lines starting with a `#` are being ignored.
|
||
|
||
- The syntax doesn't support comments at the end of a line yet.
