Re: rsync, what the hey?

Hi a,

Does this work?

rsync -av --dry-run --delete --exclude=".*/" /home/a/ 
/media/a/6fbdc743-fc0f-46e4-aea3-8160914c34ec/backup

I would probably run that as this.

sudo rsync -Prvvac /home/path /desination/path

I prefer to keep . files and I also like the progress. -r is recursive. 
I wouldn't delete anything though, unless you are in fact wanting to 
make a true 1:1 copy of that /path/ at the given time you run the command.

Regards,
