Best way to mirror files to an external hard drive?
-
I have a 1 TB internal hardrive full of important files and media on a server running Ubuntu; I also have a 1 TB external hard drive that is plugged into the same server. What would be the best way to backup the internal drive to the external drive seamlessly?

Answer:
i'd vote Rsync if the important stuff is within a folder, I.E. rsync -zuvr /home/users/me/myimportantstuff/ /media/usb/whatever/ For disk or partition cloning, use DD. http://serverfault.com/questions/4906/using-dd-for-disk-cloning
