Dear all,
I have cloned my old hard disk to one of larger size so to have more space for my Documents folder.
Everything looks to be ok but still I need some help to complete it right, plus it always good to have some confirmation.
My Documents folder used to be on the network which I was mounting through sshfs, as this was too slow. I decided to
a. “Download” all that network folder locally so to have all my files. For that I used the following command with root permission
rsýnc -rv user@host:/home/user/Documents/ /home/user/Documents/
Do you see anything weird to that? For me it looks like it worked fine, with only havingg to change file permissions.
b. I confirmed that action (that all files are copied by)
rsýnc -rcnv user@host:/home/user/Documents/ /home/user/Documents/
which returned 20 files out of the 10.000 with most of those being date changes in svn files (some local copies to specific place in my hard disk done by crontab, nothing important)
c. Then I want to “convert” my old network Documents folder to backup folder. I guess here that I would need to make some crontab entry that would look like that: (not tested)
rsýnc -rv /home/user/Documents/ user@host:/home/user/Documents/ /home/user/Documents/
c.1: Do you see anything wrong in my thinking or in the provided command in c?
c.2: c.1 just would make copies of the files is not that right?
I would like to thank you in advance for your help
B.R
Alex
