Hi All,You may recall a while ago I asked about rsync for backups, and also a bit later about it failing to my USB backup drive. It turns out the drive had bitten the bullet. Anyway the problem I have now, with a new USB drive, is that despite using the same command line as previously every time it insists on backing up ALL my root and home directory files every time not just the ones that have changed. I also backup the Windows partition and Windows' My Documents - which are on the same machine - and it does the same for those. As you can imagine this is a real pain in the backside as it drastically lengthens backup times.
This is an example, and always worked before the old hard drive died.rsync -aAXv /* /media/julian/ATHENA/RAFAELA --exclude={/dev/*,/proc/*,/sys/*,/tmp/*,/run/*,/mnt/*,/media/*,/lost+found,/home/*}
