-a
implica que os direitos que podem não ser traduzidos corretamente para o NTFS devem ser copiados e correspondidos. Eu uso apenas -rltD
. -a
implica -rlptgoD
.
Nota: Eu uso o rsync do linux com o EXT4, e não sei como o HFS se compara ao NTFS.
Aqui está um script completo que eu uso para fazer backup de algumas das minhas pastas em um disco USB removível. Isso funciona bem no Ubuntu 10.4
#!/bin/bash
# Rotated backup from EXT4 to removable NTFS-disc using rsync.
# Four generations are saved and automatically purged each run.
# Generations: current, backups/old, backups/older, backups/oldest.
# This script is stored on and run from the root of the removable disc
# where the backups are stored. Destination paths in the rsync commands
# are relative to current working directory below.
# Purge oldest backup
rm -rf backups/oldest
# Prepare recieving folder.
mkdir inprogress
# Grab new contents. Use rsync to create hard links to files already backed up on media.
# Note: --link-dest is set relative to dest.
# Note: Since we copy from EXT4 to NTFS we can't use -a. Rights are different in NTFS.
# If we tried then rsync would copy every file, since rights don't match.
# I use -rltD instead of -a. Care must be taken when restoring files!
