good evening dear friends,
well i want to install a Notebook with a new and fresh linux-install.
Therefore: i have a big big USB-Stick and i want to save all the Folders of the NB to that.
As i am not sooo familiar i have a little question here: how to do the whole process of copying to the USB stick using Linux and the command line: Yes i want to use the commandline methods only!
what are the best methods, ways and commands to do this!?
what is aimed: i need to save 'all the data' with that i mean - All the files in my USERS HOME?
I do not want to trying to do some sort of clone/backup of my entire OS?
btw and on a sindenote: i tried to safe the data with the dolphin. but: i recognized that with the Dolphin i have funny errors - not all will be copied - why is this so? i guess that's because dolphin is working on "user permission". but - we require root permission. So the dolphin way - failed.
So back again to the process to do it on tt4: Well again what is aimed: i am trying to simply dismantling the whole os for the purpose of the complete reinstalling the whole os
Do you think that i can do this with the rsync command and besides the cp command!?
some of my friends recommended me that rsync may be some of the appropiate ways and methods for backup-jobs.
idea and approach: well is it possible, to backup DemoDir to my usb drive, I can do this:
which is expected to send incremental file list
well what do you think - can i go like so!?
well i think we can run them with sudo to run command as root.
look forward to hear from you - regards
