Using grsync in linux mint3/2/2023 By following the instructions in the video, I can create the two Primary partitions I want to create. I have destroyed 7 virtual machines today trying to get this to work. I can’t get it to work or it’s not working right. I tried the instructions for adding a new unformatted hard drive in a virtual machine. I currently don’t have any backups and I know this isn’t smart.Īlso, I would like your opinion about this Youtube video I found that seems to show how to set up an additional hard drive to whatever distro of Linux you are using. I plan when money isn’t so tight to purchase a 10TB or a 12TB external hard drive to use for my backups. Also, I plan to use the hard drive as a backup for my Home directory and all my settings for Linux Mint. My plan for the large hard drive is added my large video collection to it. I plan on doing that tomorrow and was wondering what is the best way to add a large hard drive to Linux Mint. I haven’t installed the drive yet to my new build. How would you add a large hard drive to Linux Mint? I have an 8TB hard drive I purchase along with the parts for my new build. I thought I set up Timeshift to make a snapshot of all settings and installed programs.Īlso, I have another question that is kind of related to the topic of these posts. Hi everyone I have a quick question, What software do you use to backup your Linux programs and settings? I was using Timeshift to take what I thought were snapshots of my SSD, but when I had to restore an earlier snapshot after timeshift was done restoring my system, I found all the Linux programs I had installed where gone, also the settings I made after I installed Linux Mint 19.03 but before my first Timeshift snapshot was gone. If you have any questions just reply here, rsync is amazing and can litereally do it all ! Simple backups with rsync are usually done with: Rsync -aAXv / -exclude= /another/location/if_needed/ System updates can be done with rsync as well excluding certain files if needed preserving permissions and shortcuts etc: Rsync -rtuv -delete D:\ /whatever/directory/you/want I can even put this in a cron job and run it on schedule.įiles from mirrored directories can be done with flags like: I can write a simple for loop and put it in a bash script to do this with RSYNC !įor $i in '/home/Downloads/Marvel' '/home/Downloads/DC' '/home/Downloads/Image' '/home/Downloads/Fixed' do rsync -ahv $i '/run/media/$USER/WD-My-Book/' done I have a collection of Comic books seperated by Publisher as follows: /home/Downloads/Marvel, I’ve been using it since I left Windows years ago and used it at work afterwards.
