[Lincoln LUG] backup

[simon jackson]

Hi, I use rsync too to backup, currently as:

rsync -r -t -p -o -g
     --delete
     --modify-window=1
     -s --stats
     --exclude-from=/home/simon/.grsync/exclude-these-files
     /home/simon/   /media/0433-2DED/Backup_of_Crunchbang

Also grsync provides a GUI to rsync which helps with deciding the options.
