Hello.
I want export backups to an another disk for bring it outdoor.
So i have tried to do a rsync beetween Urbackup files and export disk.
It is impossible because export make full the destination disk !!!
2To Data source become than more 3To on destination…
I think there is probleme with hard link…
Have you a solution to export backups on another disk ???
I’m doing that on several installations.
The command I use is:
/usr/bin/rsync -avxHAX --progress --delete-before SOURCE_DIR DESTINATION_DIR
Works like a charm.
Thanks.
I have tested your command.
It is better but the volume is différente from source and destination.
So it disk become full
Source:
/dev/sda1 2.7T 2.2T 565G 80% /srv/dev-disk-by-label-BACKUP
Destination:
/dev/sdb1 2.7T 2.7T 42G 99% /srv/dev-disk-by-label-EXPORT
Are you using btrfs as filesystem and did you enable the use of snapshots as described in 11.7.2 of the manual?
The -x option in rsync prevents descending in other filesystems. Snapshots behave the same way, so the content will not be rsynced. On the other hand without the -x option you will get one complete data set for each snapshot as hardlinking does not work.
You would have to use something like btrfs send / receive.
