Hi
I made rsync to backup the entire / (root partition) of the server and
excluded some unwanted folders like /tmp /proc as shown below, Can I
introduce a new disk and write all the contents over so that I get a mirror
copy of the original server ? Without formatting the new disk I cannot
copy the backed up files over to that, So I tried copying the existing
partition table using sfdisk and imported on the new media, Then I am
totally lost as to how to perform the back up.
rsync -avz --progress -e 'ssh -i /home/sebackup/.ssh/backup -l root'
server:/* /home/bala/Users/Documents/SE/backup/
--exclude={/dev/*,/proc/*,/sys/*,/tmp/*,/run/*,/mnt/*,/media/*,/lost+found,/home/*/.gvfs,/var/www/*}
