Title: Which best way to use rsync to make a exactly mirror between two hard drivers ov
Post by: mahesh on Aug 21, 2023, 08:16 AM
Hello,

I intend make a complete mirror between hard drives on same computer with ubuntu server. Which configuration should I use to make things security and correctly?


sudo rsync -avz /home/user/origin/ /media/pen/destiny/
sudo rsync -avz --delete-before /home/user/origin/ /media/pen/destiny/
sudo rsync -avz --delete-after /home/user/origin/ /media/pen/destiny/
sudo rsync -avz --progress --delete /home/user/origin/ /media/pen/destiny/


Should I put slash "/" on end of directory path?
This is the list directory contents I have on my system regarding folders origin and destiny:

    Code:
root@matt:/home/matt# ls -la disks/main_disks/
total 40
drwxrwxr-x   5 matt users  4096 Oct 19  2021 .
drwxrwxr-x   4 matt matt  4096 Aug 28  2019 ..
drwxrwxr-x 420 matt users 12288 Sep  4 21:04 disk2

root@matt:/home/matt# ls -la disks/mirror_disks/
total 16
drwxrwxr-x 4 matt matt 4096 May 19  2021 .
drwxrwxr-x 4 matt matt 4096 Aug 28  2019 ..
drwxrwxr-x 2 root  root  4096 May 19  2021 mirror_disk1

Thanks in advance
