Hi,
I am trying to run the 'backup to a spare disk' in this example:
http://samba.anu.edu.au/rsync/examples.html
My question is
Why i need to to this:
mount /backup/$d
If i have an external disk, it will be under /media/disk directory,
why I need to mount?
And what is the meaning of '-exclude fstab' here?
rsync -ax --exclude fstab --delete /$d/ /backup/$d/
Thank you.
