I got my new 64GB USB stick. You can read about my backup story here and here.
The script is fairly simple:
#!/bin/sh now=$(date +%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S) user=miku86 backup_source=/home/$user backup_dest_local=/home/$user/BACKUP/ # do not forget to exclude this backup_dest_external=/run/media/$user/HOMEBACKUP/$now rsync -h --progress --stats -r -tgo -p -l -D --update --delete-after --delete-excluded \ # ... many lines of exluding folders, e.g. cache, node_modules etc. $backup_source $backup_dest_local && cp -r $backup_dest_local $backup_dest_external Every some days I move the data from the USB stick to my external long-term backup after some cleaning.
