How to backup an external drive?
Asked by
Ron
Dear all,
What is the quickest way to backup an external hard drive? I have an external hard drive that I need to back up. So I went and purchased a second external drive. I formatted the latter but I have forgotten how to do this through rsync. Can someone help me?
I put the following command line but it didn't work:
rsync -ruv --delete /media/Extension /media/Backup
"Extension" is the name of my first hard drive which serves as an extension of my internal hard drive. "Backup" on the other hand is the second external hard drive.
Can someone help me with this?
R
