Backup files incremental with rsync to a NTFS-Partition
rsync -rtvu --modify-window=1 --progress /media/SOURCE/ /media/TARGET/
This will backup the _contents_ of /media/SOURCE to /media/TARGET where TARGET is formatted with ntfs. The --modify-window lets rsync ignore the less accurate timestamps of NTFS.
Migrate Server with rsync
rsync -ayz -e ssh --exclude=/proc --exclude=/sys --exclude=/dev / root@NEWHOST:/MNTDIR
Copies the complete root-dir of a linux server to another one, where the new harddisks are formatted and mounted. Very useful to migrate a root-server to another one. Credit to User Bones
