Hello List,
I am wanting to backup my Linux machine at work using Rsync. I have a
mounted SMB share which it will be backing up to. I would like to rsync
"into" an archive, so the backup is all in one file. I've done some
googling and haven't found a real clear way to do an rsync backup into
either a tar or gzip archive.
Does anyone have a couple of one-liners or links they could recommend?
Thanks.
Julian
Why do you want to use rsync for this? Are you doing something
that you can not do using the -u option of tar or the -f option
or zip? If so, you may want to look at standard backup software.
